Description David Corbin

Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

I have a class that has static methods on it.  The class has a type parameter.  The class is listed in the Java/Editor/Content Assist/Favorites preferences pane.

When I type the start of one of these static method names, Eclipse does NOT offer the method in Content Assist.

I've debugged through the code, and I think I've found where this case is being tossed aside. 
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.CompletionEngine#findFieldsAndMethodsFromFavorites has a switch statement with a case of Binding.TYPE, however adding the type in question is Binding.GENERIC_TYPE.

I did a quick spike by adding Binding.GENERIC_TYPE right along side of Binding.TYPE, and it appears to have worked, but I have no idea what other consequences might be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a generic class
2. define a static method on it
3. Add it to the Content Assist Favorites
4. In the method of another class, type the class method name and invoke Content Assist.

I could not reproduce using the above test case after adding p.Test.doSomething in the content assist favourites.
