Defaults for Organize Imports [message #214784]

Is there a way to specify defaults for Organize Imports, so that when a
"List" is encountered, for example, it goes with java.util.List
automatically and doesn't ask which List to use? I'd imagine there'd be a
way, because for several common classes this gets to be slightly
irritating...

Thanks.

Hi

Organize imports does not offer 'white listing' of preferred classes.
You can use type filters which work like a 'black list' of unwanted
classes. However, they effect all functions of Eclipse.

I use type filters to avoid the usage of any similarly named AWT/Swing
classes whilst writing SWT/JFace applications and to prevent confusions
between java.util.Date and java.sql.Date.

The "white list, or preferred types" is vital for Organize imports - or at least for Quick Fix functionality, since "black list" does not resolve ambiguous type references when many required types are exist in project(s). That case sometimes can not be resolved by a filter package names in Eclipse menu Windows=>Preference=>Java=>Appearance=>Type Filters, because touches(filters out) the needed other classes in these packages also.
For Eclipse 3.7 - where the Quick Fix functionality is available now for multiple selected error rows in Problem view would be nice to have
usual "Quick Fix dialog" with selecting the right type to import with applying it to all similar or better selected errors in Problems' list.
For the present in such case the following error appears:
"The selected problems do not have a common applicable quick fix." however it's just need to specify the particular type to do Organize Imports ambiguous type.
