Description

When typing 'List' in the spring-petclinic project, the commonly used class java.util.List does not appear at the top of the completion list, which can be confusing for users. To address this, we suggest introducing a mechanism such as a favorite completion list to influence the completion relevance. By adding commonly used classes from java.util.* to the favorite list, they can be prioritized and appear at the top of the completion list.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by reproducing the completion behavior in the spring-petclinic project when typing “List”, then trace how completion relevance is determined. Done means a favorite-completion mechanism can prioritize commonly used java.util.* classes, including java.util.List, without disrupting the completion list.
