Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-07-09 11:26:53 EDT 
Using 0703, try to compile the following code:
public class Compile { 

    public void foo() {

}

The compiler reports:
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody

This is perfectly fine. If I use quickfix on this error, it suggests to surround
with different statement, instead of simply inserting a closing brace.

not for 3.1.

Even this bug sounds simple, but as we have no AST in these cases a lot of
parsing is involved. Mostly a missing bracket is detected much later in the
source, making the suggested correction look ridicolous.
Comment 4 Markus Keller CLA 2008-02-21 13:43:01 EST 
Could look at this again now with statements recovery in the AST. Or just follow the advice to insert/delete a token and let the user find out whether it worked.
Comment 5 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:42:24 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
