Description Jaroslav Tulach 2016-05-10 07:37:27 UTC 
When coding in normal Java, I am used to type a name of a class

ByteArrayInputS|

invoke code completion and select "ByteArrayInputStream" - the class is then autocompleted but also imported automatically.

when working with JShell - the class is only autocompleted - and that is close to useless. Because such line cannot be executed.

Either import the class or autocomplete it with FQN.

This problem is very annoying and renders the whole JShell support almost unusable.
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2016-06-16 11:12:55 UTC 
Should be fixed in jet-mai#1cc62269bea6
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2016-06-29 07:13:10 UTC 
I can confirm the import works. Thanks.
