Description David Harkness CLA 2014-02-25 17:47:53 EST 
Use case: I have a template that inserts an annotation that takes a single parameter chosen from a class's constants. I've omitted the part that adds the necessary imports.

    @SuppressFBWarnings(FindBugs.${cursor})

With this bound to "fb" you must enter this sequence:

    type `fb`
    type `ctrl-space`
    choose "fb template"
    type `ctrl-space` to trigger code-assist on "FindBugs."
    select constant

I would like the code-assist to trigger automatically and display the possible constants immediately.

Note: There's a placeholder that displays a popup selection list that looks like code-assist, but the values must be listed in the template itself. I want the values to be pulled from the FindBugs class.

Pass to JDT/UI for comment. Does this belong in JDT/text instead ?
