Description Matthew Wilson CLA 2010-06-28 10:06:17 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

When I insert an anonymous inner class using the autocomplete feature, a superfluous semicolon is added after the closing brace.  This semicolon is only required when the class is used in a field or local variable declaration, and not when the instance is used as a method parameter or as part of another expression.

This issue has occurred for me from at least 20090619-0625 to 20100617-1415.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type:

foo(new ActionListener);

2. Place cursor after "ActionListener".
3. Press ctrl-space for autocomplete and choose "Anonymous Inner Type ..."
4. Witness that the code now has a superfluous (and, indeed, incorrect) semicolon on the last line:

};);

I expect:

});
