Created attachment 144055 [details] Code completion result for "Butto" with no "Butto*" classes imported. When using code completion for a class which is not yet imported, the code completer gives very strange, highly irrelevant (and annoying) suggestions. In a class in my Maven/Vaadin application, I write "Butto" and press ctrl+space, a long list of suggestions are given to me, the first being the final long sun.awt.XConstants.Button1MotionMask. First some 50 suggestions below is the first "class" suggestion, which is the com.vaadin.ui.Button class I want. The suggestion of constants is new in Netbeans 7.4?) or at least the default behaviour and (imho) really degrades the usability of code completion. The code completion have really improved for javascript, css, etc the last releases. However, I'm sorry to say that my experience of the java code completion is that it have significantly degraded (although this is my only documented example). I'm running a clean Netbeans 7.4 install in a newly installed Mac OS X 10.9.1 and I have attached the code completion result screenshot as well as my java code completions settings.
