Description Dave Orme CLA 2005-03-14 12:02:47 EST 
Suppose I type the line:

Label path = ui.getPathLabel();

(where ui.getPathLabel() returns an org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label) and select
"Organize Imports" via my favorite mechanism.  It is not necessary for JDT to
prompt me for which Label class to add to the imports section because
ui.getPathLabel() already disambiguates this.  JDT should notice that 'path' is
part of an assignment statement and see if the data type on the right hand side
of the expression already sufficiently disambiguates the expression that it does
not need to prompt me for the exact data type.

Given that J2SE 5.0 & performance is the major focus for 3.1 this has to wait.
Comment 2 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-05-23 13:22:21 EDT 
not for 3.1
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-06-15 04:45:35 EDT 
*** Bug 99669 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-07-26 07:07:06 EDT 
should look at this for 3.2
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2010-05-19 03:21:12 EDT 
This would improve organize import in many cases.

Moving to JDT Core who owns ImportRewrite these days.

Jay, please follow up -- Thanks
Comment 7 Markus Keller CLA 2010-05-20 10:28:54 EDT 
Moving back to UI. We still implement the actual OrganizeImportsOperation.

Ah, right.
