Bug 484015

Description Lukas Eder 2015-12-09 08:55:08 EST

When working with "ordinary" local variables, quick fix / quick assist helps declaring those variables without explicitly needing to type the target type. For example:

--------------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.Connection;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Connection c = (Connection) new Object();

        s = c.prepareStatement("statement");
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------------

I can turn s into:

- a local variable
- a field
- a parameter

Choosing the local variable is most sensible here, producing

--------------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Connection c = (Connection) new Object();

        PreparedStatement s = c.prepareStatement("statement");
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------------

However, I cannot do the same thing when I start typing the try-with-resources statement:

--------------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.Connection;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Connection c = (Connection) new Object();

        try (s = c.prepareStatement("statement")) {
            
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------------

There's a whole list of suggested fixes that are all useless. From the user perspective, it's "obvious" that the only thing missing is the type "PreparedStatement".
