Description Nanda Firdausi CLA 2011-02-02 04:02:59 EST 
Build Identifier: 

When I want to use static method of a generic class, I will type the first letters of the class and press Ctrl+Space. This is (annoyingly) will also give '<...>' at the end of the class name.

For example:

public class Test<T> {

    public static void testMethod() {
        
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Te_
    }

}

_ is the cursor location. Do Ctrl+Space and you'll get Test<T>. I then have to remove '<T>' and write '.testMethod'.

I think Eclipse should do better than this and give only generic behind class when it is needed. 

Reproducible: Always

1. As explained in details
