Option to manually add an import

This feature would not help your issue. To add an import you need the package name and the class name which means you could call ClassName.get(packageName, className) and emit the reference normally.

My use case is that I’m generating an entity pojo class into another project (not in the current java poet project) then creating an interface directly after which has a super-interface with a generic type of this entity. The import cannot be resolved because it resides in another project. At the moment I’m stuck using ClassName.bestGuess(entityName) then letting the IDE resolve the import within the other project which is not optimal.

You get a TypeName for it like so: ClassName.get("android.graphics.drawable", "ColorDrawable")

Then you can use that wherever $T is accepted, and it will import it for you. If you want to explicitly reference the Class for it, you can do $T.class and pass the ClassName.
