Description Sam CLA 2002-09-08 02:15:30 EDT 
I suugest to add a feature in eclipse so that user can configure eclipse to
filter out certain packages when it code completes/organizes imports?

For example,
I type this in my code
InputStream is = new InputStream();
and then I do "Organize Imports",

The following selections will pop up
"java.io.InputStream"
"org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream"
"org.omg.CORBA_2_3.portable.InputStream"

can I config eclipse so that it does not pop up classes in the Corba package
since I am not doing CORBA programming.

Seems like a quite generic need. Can't you simply exclude it from your build 
path ?
Comment 2 Sam CLA 2002-09-09 13:20:20 EDT 
there are cases where I can't exclue it from my build path. For example, there
are clases in jdk with the same name.

For example, if I am not doing swing or corba programming and i try "List" 
a lot of classes from swing/corba packages popup. But what i really need is
java.util.List.

If you had ways to specify filters on your classpath, then this could do the 
trick, wouldn't it ? You could filter out certain portions of the JDK.
