Description markiewb 2015-02-15 09:57:14 UTC 
EXPECTED: Type "List<" and NB automatically adds the closing > and sets the caret within the tags. That means "List<|>", where | is the caret

I guess this has to be fixed in 
java.editor/src/org/netbeans/modules/editor/java/TypingCompletion.java

but this must be context-sensitive, so that "1 <" is not completed to "1 <>"

See the screenshot for context.
