This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I expect to be able to hit CTRL-P (code-complete) after a class name and have the IDE guide me as I fill in its Generics type-parameters (similar to the interface we have now for entering arguments for methods).
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
