It's a minor thing, but it drives me nuts that when I type List in Eclipse, it always asks me if I mean java.util.List or java.awt.List when I never ever use java.awt.List. There are other similar cases with name collisions in my own project and more esoteric standard libraries. Is there a way to configure Eclipse to assume that I mean java.util.List unless I go out of my way to specify otherwise?

I just want to say that after over 20 years of programming, it's funny that *this* is my most highly rated answer. Maybe I'm better at using IDEs than I am at programming with them. :/

It's one of my most highly rated questions too. Scratches an itch!
