In the attached test case, completion of a nested class produces a non-optimal result, where the base class (the first non-inner class) is specified as a FQCN, even though the class already imports the class, and the separator between the nested inner classes is "$" instead of ".".  The "$" is legal, but the "." is preferred.

If the string "DataSourceResponses" is entered, and then you try to complete the symbol, the result is the following:

com.equifax.xml.xmlSchema.interConnect.InterConnectResponseDocument$InterConnectResponse$BusinessSubjects$BusinessSubject.DataSourceResponses

Where it should be:

InterConnectResponseDocument.InterConnectResponse.BusinessSubjects.BusinessSubject.DataSourceResponses

The steps to execute the test case are as follows:

1. Extract the zip to a directory.
2. Download XMLBeans-2.1.0 from <http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xmlbeans>.
3. Extract the "xbean.jar" and "jsr173_1.0_api.jar" from the XMLBeans distribution and put them in the "jdtcompletionbug/lib" directory.
2. Change to the "jdtcompletionbug" directory and enter "ant".
3. In Eclipse, create a new Java project.
4. Name the project "jdtcompletionbug" (or whatever).
5. Select the "Create project from existing source" radio button.
6. Browse to the "jdtcompletionbug" directory.
7. Click Next and then Finish.
8. Navigate to the project and then open JDTCompletionBug.java.
9. Put the cursor in the main method and type "DataSourceResponses".
10. Press Ctrl-space to do completion of the symbol.
11. Press Enter to get the default of "DataSourceResponses".

You will now see the completion result in question.
