Build Identifier: 20110916-0149 Let's say I have the following in a method. int i; Then, I type "j = i;" The variable j is not declared. So, the editor should automatically add the type in front of j or add the declaration at the top of the method. Such as shown below. int i, j; j = i; This could be done when assigning a variable to: - the return value of a method - a member variable - a static variable - a "new some_object_type();" - a "new some_object_type[];" Why bother the engineer with types when the editor can automatically do it? Reproducible: Always

It is not clear about what the developer wants to do in each and every situation, hence I would not start creating declarations automatically. At best we may possibly show the quick fix popup automatically, but even this is stretching things a bit.
I guess the current solution is good enough.
