The normal Organize Imports behavior of Eclipse can make some silly suggestions. For instance, despite using java.util.Collections
in a good number of my classes, occasionally the edu.emory.mathcs.backport
Collections
class will be imported instead.
I have blocked some of these silly packages in the Java -> Appearance -> Type Filters section of the preferences, but if there were a plugin that can figure this out automatically it would be quite helpful.
The Eclipse platform which provides the foundation for the Eclipse IDE is composed of plug-ins and is designed to be extensible using additional plug-ins. Several hundreds of plug-ins are available. Each plug-in adds more functionality to Eclipse.
The Eclipse PDE™ (Plug-in Development Environment) provides tools to create, develop, test, debug, build and deploy Eclipse plug-ins, fragments, features, update sites and RCP products.
There is a Plugin (Code Recommenders Developer Tools) which should priorize the classes you prefer based on statistics. So the entries in the dialog are ordered based on their using.
It is included in eclipse kepler, but also available for older versions.
