In Eclipse, the code complete/hinter will remember the user's preferred choice for certain kinds of completions (e.g. importing classes) and use this to rank the list the next time the user asks for it for help. Another example is when the hinter suggests a fix for an undefined variable. I tend to prefer local variables over fields or adding parameters, so Eclipse quickly learns to place this as the first option, whereas NetBeans keeps it at the bottom of the list.
Has this anyone been assigned to anyone?
Is anybody considering this? It would be an incredible feature to have... an editor that learns your preferred classes from your codebase! For example, I've never ever used the javax.management package, but use JPA extensively... but every time I want to complete on the Query object, I am provided with the javax.management class first, and the javax.persistence one second. If results were ranked, I wouldn't need to be annoyed by having to delete the mistaken import when I forget to choose the second option.
