Eclipse/FDT closes imports when typing in a new import

For example I type the following:

import shared.

And on the dot, it closes the imports forcing me to reopen the imports and continue typing. Is there a way to disable this? What is the point of this?

Solution

  • This cannot be disabled without completely disabling autocomplete.

    With autocomplete, when a selection is made, FDT will use that and then return you to the editor so you can enter another keyword.

    You shouldn't ever need to type an import with FDT. You can:

    1) Use autocomplete on a class / type and have FDT auto import the class 2) Use Organize Imports 3) Use a quick fix to import the class.
