Bug 200067

Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1.Define a template for a method completion, say named addcomp.
2.In the java editor, define a variable, say a JButton button.
3.Type button.addcomp<code assist>
4.Note that addcomp is not one of the suggestions. It was in 3.2.


More information:
I have templates defined which add an anonymous listener to a Swing component. For example,

Name      Context     Description                Auto Insert
addcomp   java        add a component listener   on

Preview
addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
	public void componentHidden( ComponentEvent e ) {
		${cursor}
	}

	public void componentMoved( ComponentEvent e ) {
	}

	public void componentResized( ComponentEvent e ) {
	}

	public void componentShown( ComponentEvent e ) {
	}
});

I could then type some code like
  JButton button = new JButton( "button" );
  button.addcomp<code assist>

and in 3.2, the code assist popup would list
   addcomp - add component adapter
   addComponentListener(ComponentListener l) void - Component
and I could choose addcomp to have the above code added for me.

In 3.3, it longer gives me the choice, instead, it simply chooses the match and fills in 
   button.addComponentListener( l )
If I instead type
   button.addc<code assist>
The popup lists the methods which complete that, but not the templates.

It appears that templates are no longer suggested by code assist in 3.3 when in 3.2 they would be suggested, and it was quite useful.
