Description Markus A. CLA 2014-05-17 21:01:45 EDT
If I have the following incomplete code:

public class Foo<Type> {
    public Foo() {
        List<Type> list = new ArrayList|
    }
}

where the pipe ("|") after ArrayList indicates the current cursor position and I press Ctrl+Space and have Eclipse auto-complete the constructor call on the ArrayList, it generates the following line:

List<Type> list = new ArrayList<Foo.Type>();

and immediately reports an error that "Foo.Type cannot be resolved to a type".

Instead, the completion should be:

List<Type> list = new ArrayList<Type>();

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
