Description Ole Jørgen CLA 2012-08-24 09:20:51 EDT 
public GenericStuff[] getAllMyStuff() {
   // ...
   return new GS<ctrl-space>
}

Does not (always*) suggest GenericStuff as first hit. I'm quite sure I've experienced this with normal (non-camelcase) content assist too)

* Couldn't find an example that worked with only SDK classes. With my setup I get lots of classes from org.apache.* as "superior" suggestions.

We boost proposals that got used before i.e. which are in our LRU cache. That's why you can see different behavior. In addition we do not yet use the LRU cache for constructor proposals (see bug 261315).

Bug 261315 is about fixing relevance of constructor proposals. But this example doesn't involve constructor proposals. It's about array creation proposals.

After bug 261315/bug 277691 is fixed, we have to see if we want to add similar support for array creations.
