Description Stephan Herrmann

While playing with the example from bug 343693 I noticed that
  new X|
completes to
  new X<T>(param)

This happens even if T is not in scope, creating bogus code 
(i.e., both parameters T and param must be manually specified).

Moreover, if a bound is added to T, say "T extends Number",
completion proposes
  new X<Number>(param)

Wouldn't it be educative for users if we propose the new syntax
  new X<>(param)

?

Please excuse, if this has been discussed before.

A more general solution is proposed in bug 283950. (Note that JDT/Core only proposes the types, the type arguments are inserted by JDT/Text)
