Description Jaide Ambrosio

When we type in the beginning of the code to do the autocompletion, the function parameters come with data from strange examples.

Eg:
JButton buttonStart = new JButton("st");
buttonStart.setBounds(EXIT_ON_CLOSE, ABORT, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

In a normal situation:
buttonStart.setBounds(x, y, width, height);

We have changed the defaults to guess the parameters. This does not always make sense.

If you want to switch back to the previous default, go to preferences/java/editor/content assist and select "insert parameter names"
