Unused imports and @link javadoc

Hello Checkstyle users,

Checkstyle 5.1 (used via Sonar, btw, whose upgrade to 5.3
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONAR-1836 is blocked by
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3132645&group_id=29721&atid=397078
) and 5.3 (through eclipse-cs plugin) report that a class A has an
unused import of class B referenced only in @link javadoc of a method
in class A. Eclipse IDE configured on save to automatically arrange
import section, adds import of B in A.

Can someone please enlighten me on who is correct, Checkstyle in
reporting unused import or Eclipse in configuring import for a class
only referenced in javadoc?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Stevo.
