Description
I've seen user complaints about missing import java.util.* candidate. But actually we do have this feature implemtend.
Current behavior is, when you directly select a package, it auto appends .* behind.
select this item java.util, it in fact completes java.util.*:
I'm thinking whether current behavior is ambiguious/inconsistent or not. Maybe we should explictly add an item java.util.*, and those items without .* won't append .* automatically? Just some thoughts.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current completion behavior for selecting the java.util package and the two screenshots in the issue. The issue names no files or tests; work is not well-defined until the project decides whether to retain automatic .* insertion or add an explicit java.util.* candidate.
