Is it possible to have java.util.List on favorite? #3414
Description
When trying to import List from java.util (java.util.List) this option is way down in the list of possible packages. Is there any option to make it go up, something like a default or favorite option? (I'm aware of the java.completion.favoriteStaticMembers, that's why I'm asking). Thanks in advance.
Environment
- Operating System: Linux
- JDK version: 17.0.8

Steps To Reproduce

- One can see lots of List packages but no java.util.List.
[Please attach a sample project reproducing the error]
No sample project required (IMO).
Please attach logs
No errors to show.
Current Result
It's required to scroll down and look for this package.
Expected Result

You mean in a case like this ?
I don't think this is possible yet, but it's very similar to part of eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1423, and eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#2484 . In fact the exact same issue (
java.util.Listbeing low) is brough up in #3341 (comment) ! However, these wouldn't help in a completely empty project as they'd only prioritize imports that have already been used frequently.testforstephen commentedon Jan 2, 2024
This certainly worths optimization. In a typical Spring Boot project (spring-petclinic), numerous
Listclasses from various dependencies are included. However, when typing ‘List’, the suggestion for“java.util.List”does not appear as a top priority, which makes it hard to find the "java.util.List" from intelliSense.meiliangdeng commentedon Jun 12, 2024
I have the same problem.

Using
Ctrl+.on the "List" brings upjava.util.List, correctly. It is very annoying to have to use a different keystroke to get intelligent completion just for this one class. A solution is needed.
