Description Pan Feng CLA 2006-11-05 01:34:38 EST 
The feature that Content Assist for variables with unresolved type was introduced
since Eclipse 3.3 M3. It is a very useful feature, I loved it. Thanks so much for your great work! But I think if you enhance it, it will become more useful.
For example, I write a following code snippet:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("Happy Birthday, eclipse!");

If I never import List and ArrayList, after I type list.add("..."), JDT will add import for List automatically, but ArrayList type did not added import automatically. So would you like to enhance it for the feature? Thanks!

And I found if I type the following code snippet, it will not pop up code assist window:

  //List has not been added import.
  new ArrayList().
