Build Identifier: Galileo

Content-Assist should be smart(er), like in NetBeans or Visual Studio. It should:
* categorize the suggestions, based on context
* most importantly, show first the suggestions returning a type matching the lvalue 

Example:

String foo = bar.get<C-Assist> should show:
                    String()
                    --...suggestions with non-matching type--
                    Int()
                    ...


Reproducible: Always

This works for me using Eclipse SDK 3.7 M6.

There are no plans to make the categories visible by adding separators.
