Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-09-02 11:42:29 EDT 
While verifying bug 95096 I noticed that it is very hard to statically import
something using code assist. I wanted to create the following import statement:

import static java.lang.Math.abs;

So I typed 

import static java.la<code assist>

all I can do is to select java.lang.* which gives me

import static java.lang.*;

So I have to delete *; and open code assist again and select Math.

If we are in a static import we should properly no expand to java.lang.*; we
should export to java.lang. instead.

Also, if you type:

import static java.lang.Math.<<content assist>

...and select one of the suggestions, the content assist *completely* replaces the import statement with the selected method, rather than importing it properly.  If you like, I can open a new bug on this one.
