Description André Stannek CLA 2014-01-23 03:55:31 EST 
I've always found it annoying that the generic type parameters don't autocomplete if the generic class is not yet resolved.

Example:

I want to create a "List<String>". I type "List<" which autocompletes to "List<>" with an error for the unresolved class "List". As the cursor is already between the brackets I type "S" and hit Ctrl + Space. I would now expect it to be able to autocomplete to "String" but the list of suggestions is empty.

It works of course if "List" is imported but it kind of interrupts my workflow. If this is possible to implement, it would be an awesome feature.

We don't get any proposals from JDT Core.
