Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-09-21 11:57:28 EDT 
Using I200409210800.

On following test case:
class X<T> {
  class Z {}
  <U> void foo(U u);
}
class A {
  X<String> x;
}

When I select "X<T>" or "X<String>" and hit F3, I get a beep and error message:
"Current selection does not resolve to a Java element".

I would be nice if code select could return corresponding IType X<T>.

It would then accept following valid qualified name or method call that code
select currently fails to resolve as:
  X<String>.Z
  this.<String>foo("sample")
Comment 1 Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-10-13 05:42:47 EDT 
Note that it should also return the parameterized type signature to allow client
to extract parameter type names information.

For example, if user select List<String>, then code select should return:
IType List
+
"QList<QString;>;"

The problem doesn't exist anymore in 3.1RC1
