Overtake. Fix Imports could take into account other things too, like assignment to/from other known types, and whether the type is
being used as an annotation.
- Method invocations:
unknownType.doSomething();
// only suggest types which have a doSomething() method.
- Assignments from known subtypes:
UnknownType u = (KnownType) map.get(key);
// only suggest types which KnownType extends or implements
- Assignments to known supertypes:
KnownType k = (UnknownType) map.get(key);
// only suggest types which extend or implement KnownType
- Annotations:
@UnknownType
private int i;
// only suggest types which are annotations that can be applied to fields
So basically, it should only offer suggestions that will compile cleanly.
The dialog's appearance can still be based off the number of matches:
- If only one type works, it should automatically import that type.
- If multiple types work, it should offer them in the Fix Imports dialog.
- If no types work, then it should match on class names only (current behavior) and offer them in the Fix Imports dialog.

You are probably already planning this anyway, but: When I use Alt-Shift-F to fix imports, say of Document d = jtc.getDocument(); fix imports should notice that there is also a line if ('\n' == d.getText (pos, 1).charAt(0)) { //NOI18N which probably guarantees this is javax.swing.text.Document, and if it does, it should auto-import it with no dialog.
