Description Christian

2010-08-30 05:29:14 EDT

Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

"Add import" considers classes from com.sun packages as every other class.
Though very seldom one is interested in using non api classes.

It would improve speed to not show a dialog for choosing between com.sun.* classes if only a single normal (not com.sun.*) class exists. 
The classes of com.sun are normally never used, so there is no need to consider them for "Add Import" function.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tpye "File" in the source file
2. hit ctrl+Shift+M
3. A window pops up giving you a choice ... that you don't want...

You can add a Type Filter for com.sun.* classes in the preferences (Java > Appearance > Type Filters).

Keeping this bug for adding some affordance for this in the dialog (e.g. description with a link to the preference page). See also bug 48736, which could influence this.

It might be a good choice for a default setting then.

I don't know how eclipse policy is for default settings, but this seems like an advantageous setting for most users.
