Build Identifier: If an annotation's attribute is a Class<?> type, and I use auto-complete to select a class, the ".class" qualifier does not appear. So, it's extra clicks to add the dot and then the qualifier. This shouldn't be necessary. Granted, Eclipse can't divine how I am going to get the class object, but my pattern is pretty typical (especially with JPA!). How about a new option that adds ".class" if auto-completing a Class<?> annotation attribute? (PS: Can this enhancement apply to method parameters too?) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select the class from auto-complete.

Automatically adding ".class" when the user selects the type is not something I want to add an option for. What I could imagine is that JDT Core detects this scenario and then proposes both, the type and the class object.
