Description Aaron Digulla

Build Identifier: 3.6.1

When I do a global search and replace, I can end up with many files that are missing an import. I'd like to be able to select all entries in the problems view and fix them all at once.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a new type to two Java source files (without the imports)
2. Select the two new items in the problems view
3. Apply quick fix to import the type in both files

Note that you can select multiple packages or projects and invoke 'Source > Organize Imports' (Ctrl+Shift+O) to fix all import issues in one go.

In general, I also recommend 'Organize Imports'.

But I see that a multi-fix would also be helpful in cases where the unqualified name is ambiguous, e.g. here:

class E {
    List i;
    List i2;
}
