I'm using jdk17 and eclipse 2021-09. When I hover over a class and the menu pops up it doesn't show and option for import on classes in java.awt but will show that option for other classes.

I think this is controlled by Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Appearance -> Type Filters where most likely java.awt.* is check marked as filtered by default.

I don't see this behavior in my set up. To understand this better, can you tell me what happens when you organize import or manually add the import statement import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; ?
Does the compiler recognize that the classes are available from the classpath?

Or by any chance, is your project a Java module? If so, do you have "requires java.desktop" in your module-info?

I see Ed's suggestion is most likely it. I just tried out and in case of the module project missing the requires clause, we still suggest "import *** and requires ***".

Hi

I recall a plan, perhaps a year ago, to remove java.awt from the defaults since for many years every use of List has been met with the awt/util import choice for which few users ever want awt; I have never used AWT.

This may explain why your experience is unfamiliar, or different to some tutorial.

You may need to specify java.awt explicitly since awt is now built-out rather than built-in.

(Depending on the context, content assist often fails to offer sensible candidates. Make sure that you request usage well away from templating or serious syntax errors.)

Regards
