Description neil_buesing CLA 2002-05-17 15:33:01 EDT 
When you do <ctrl>space for code completion on a class that has more than one 
valid answer (same is true for organize imports), you can end up with a long 
list of classes to choose from.  It would be nice if this behavior could be 
controlled.

Highly desired enhancement:

- Be able to filter out classes by regular expression, i.e. com.sun.*.internal.*

Minor desired enhancment:

- Be able to control sorting.  I would rather have java.util.List appear prior 
to java.awt.List.  This is minor to me, since I could filter out "java.awt.*" 
for my development.

agreed that this would be useful, but we have decided to reconsider exclusion 
filters after 2.0
