eclipse 3.2 auto add import ?

[timasmith]

Hi,

In Eclipse it used to be if I type

java.util.ArrayList

and press enter on the drop down it would add the import

import java.util.ArrayList;

Since upgrading to 3.2 and perhaps not running the exact same JBoss
version it has stopped doing it.

Anyone know how to turn that back on?

thanks

Tim

Nope, still cant find it (but nice tip on searching preferences)

Please do not top-post.

If I do as I suggested you, I get six possibilities. The most obvious
one does not seem to be the right one, but the second most obvious one
hits it on the spot. (i.e. Java -> Editor -> Content Assist)

Open Windows -> Preferences, type 'import', it should be obvious then.

Did you ever figure this out? I just upgraded and experienced the same thing. It appears the trigger for this functionality has changed. If you begin typing a fully qualified name, the assumption in 3.2 is that you want a fully qualified name -- not an import. So to auto-import java.util.ArrayList in 3.2, do not type

java.ut<ENTER> ...

instead, just type

Arr<CTRL><SPACE>

and make your selection there. This approach triggers the auto-import.

If you're like me, you think 'good grief, now I'm going to have to wade through all these auto-complete options to get to what I want.' But thanks to some nifty predictive algorithms, this rarely happens! Bottom line: less typing.
