I ask a lot of coding questions in my interviews - if the candidate starts writing imports, they've already missed the entire point of an interview. I'm not interested in knowing your intensely deep knowledge of Java boilerplate. Interviewers who demand compile-ready code on-the-spot are frankly, insane. I use typewith.me (an etherpad clone, I think), and it's great. The big win for using real-time typing apps is evaluating fluency. Someone can probably bang out some reasonably looking code if you give them homework (assuming they did it themselves!), but there's no faking the keystrokes of someone who's intimately familiar with the syntax of a language and knows WTF they're doing.
