Package annotations, package-info.java and autocompletion [message #684275]

Hello Eclipse IDE users,

When editing package-info.java with Eclipse Java editor, autocompletion doesn't seem to work for annotations. E.g. if classpath contains an annotation with @Target(ElementType.PACKAGE), and in some package-info.java I try to annotate package with that annotation, typing in "@" followed by first letter of mentioned annotation name, pressing Ctrl+Space will not offer autocompletion for that annotation, regardless if annotation is in same or different package as package-info.java

Can anybody else reproduce this behavior? Is this behavior by design?

If package-info.java and annotation are in different packages, after typing in complete annotation name, organizing imports will add appropriate imports for the annotation.

Regards,
Stevo.
