Description

This feature is already [implemented in platform](https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/2051) . JDT need to support this.

I hope this is not a duplicate issue . Not implemented yet (tested in [latest build)](https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20250415-1800/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-I20250415-1800-win32-x86_64.zip)

I will work on this if no objections for this enhancement

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Eclipse Platform pull request and the current JDT editor behavior when an opening bracket is typed over selected text. Done means JDT provides the same bracket-surrounding behavior and the result is verified in the latest build.
