Is it a good practice to import only the necessary classes from JUnit API

My question is; for an example, when I'm importing classes from JUnit library, the exact classes that I want are: Result, JUnitCore, notification.failure

And these are available in the junit.runner parent class.

So if I import as:

import org.junit.runner.*;

... will it be considered as good practice? Because by doing this definitely I'll be importing unwanted classes too.
