type quick fix [message #220026]

Hi,
When I add a new variable, with a type that is unknown yet, I would expect
the quick fix to suggest the import of the appropriate class. Why doesn't it
do so?

Um, it works for me.What version of Eclipse are you using?

I typed this in:

public class TestClass {

private InputStream stream;

}

When I place the cursor on InputStream and invoke Quick Fix (Ctrl+1) the
first suggestion is "Import InputStream from java.io"

BTW, it is usually quicker to just type part of the class name and
invoke Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) and it will automatically prompt you
for the class to import.

Provide more detail about exactly what you type and do and how it does
not behave as you expect.

Let's say you have the following:

public int myMethod() {
URL |
return 1;
}

(the '|' denotes my cursor position)
then "URL" is flagged as an error, and using quick fix has no suggestions.
Only if I go back and use Content Assist it helps, but that's a bit of a
hassle as it interrupts my "flow" of writing the code. I would have liked it
if quick fix would suggest the import and let me on with my writing.

With exactly that typed in, there is no Quick Fix available. This is
because the line is not parsable enough for Quick Fix to do anything
yet. If you go ahead and type a variable name and semicolon, then Quick
Fix for the URL will suggest the import.

That said, given the state you describe above, all you have to do is hit
back-space or left-arrow and invoke Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) and it
will do the import for you.

It sounds as if you might be thinking of something else when you say
"quick fix" because Quick Fix always requires user action to invoke,
either mouse or keyboard.

HTH,
Eric
