Eclipse Optimize Imports to Include Static Imports

If you highlight the method Assert.assertEquals(val1, val2) and hit Ctrl + Shift + M (Add Import), it will add it as a static import, at least in Eclipse 3.4.

I'm using Eclipse Europa, which also has the Favorite preference section:

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Favorites

In mine, I have the following entries (when adding, use "New Type" and omit the .*):

org.hamcrest.Matchers.*
org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*
org.junit.*
org.junit.Assert.*
org.junit.Assume.*
org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatchers.*

All but the third of those are static imports. By having those as favorites, if I type "assertT" and hit Ctrl+Space, Eclipse offers up assertThat as a suggestion, and if I pick it, it will add the proper static import to the file.

Eclipse 3.4 has a Favourites section under Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist

If you use org.junit.Assert a lot, you might find some value to adding it there.

Not exactly what I wanted, but I found a workaround. In Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), go to

Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist

and check the checkbox for Use static imports (only 1.5 or higher).

This will not bring in the import on an Optimize Imports, but if you do a Quick Fix (CTRL + 1) on the line it will give you the option to add the static import which is good enough.
