'show container for duplicates' should be enabled by default
seeing two result

java.util.List
java.util.List

isn't helpful

(I even think the option could be removed)
Comment 1 Markus Keller CLA 2007-04-30 09:32:53 EDT 
This is actually the same problem as bug 111414, which was fixed for the old Open Type dialog, but reappeared in the new FilteredTypesSelectionDialog.

With two JDKs in scope, java.util.List should always show the container.

"Show Container for Duplicates" should in addition force rendering of the container when duplicate type names are found which are already distinguishable by their package (e.g. java.util.List and java.awt.List from one JDK).
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2007-04-30 10:58:22 EDT 
As a workaround for now, I've enabled "Show Container for Duplicates"
permanently and removed the action from the Open Type menu.

Waiting for support from Platform/UI (bug 184706).
Comment 3 Eclipse Genie CLA 2019-10-17 09:20:50 EDT 
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
