Particular example fixed in jet-main. http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/291e9208a8b3 Please note, that you could switch the code completion parameter guessing off (Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Code Completion -> Java -> Guess Filled Method Arguments) Thanks :) verified in trunk Transplanted into release71_fixes. http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/5400aa3f5096 http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/2a82a445f246 Integrated into 'releases', will be available in build *201204042205* or newer. Wait for official and publicly available build.

Created attachment 115147 [details] testcase in zip file Please see the attached JUnit testcase. This happens a lot and irritates especially peope who convert from Eclipse. NetBeans is smart and matches types as much as possible, but it makes bad choices even when it actually has variables in scope that match the names of the method. In other words, in a case where NetBeans cannot find local variables with both matching type and name, then it would be preferable to insert the name of the API not any variable in scope with a matching type. The current implementation introduces subtle errors as can be seen in the testcase, and this is worse overall than a completely dumb implementation as in Eclipse.
