Description Marco Ippolito CLA 2012-05-13 11:28:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20120208-0800

On a line such as this:

    private static final MAXIM = "Life is tough";

the editor underlines the keyword "final" but is not able to recommend any "quick fix", just displaying "No suggestions available".

At least for String literals in a seemingly obvious constant declaration, I think we should be able to suggest adding "String' as a type to complete the declaration correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter this line in a Java editor: private static final MAXIM = "Life is tough";
2. Request "quick fix" suggestions.
