Ditto for editor hints, BTW.
Comment 2 Dusan Balek 2006-10-26 10:40:23 UTC 
Reassigning to Honza.
Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2006-12-14 08:24:53 UTC 
Sorry, but I do not think this is a defect - this is not supposed to work for now.

Pulling in clarifying comments from dupes.

Note that this is related to issue 164487. Instead of scanning the entire
classpath, the user provides the list of classes to scan. There could be a lot
of noise without user preference.

(copied from gsporar in issue 89258)

If I type this in:

    int val = abs(55);

I get an error and an editor hint that offers to create a method called abs().

I would like to also get an editor hint that offers to do a static import of
java.lang.Math.abs (and perhaps another hint for a static import of
java.lang.Math.*).

Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2011-10-19 15:37:15 UTC 
Partially addressed in 7.1, though not my original use case. "Members Count To Use Static Star Import" seems to have no effect on the sample code (Logger.SEVERE never replaced with SEVERE). Anyway I would not necessarily want this for everything, mainly for enums; not clear if "Packages To Use Star Import" can include types for static star import, and there is no option to configure it separately for enums (or compile-time constants).
