Hello,
I am using Eclipse 3.x IDE for java development and I am unable to setup a simple feature i.e., automatically add class "import"s to the java code. As of now I have to use crtl+shift+m to achieve this.
I used Jdeveloper before and in that IDE as and when I type a class name in the code it popsup a window asking to add an import. Is this possible in Eclipse?

Thanks,
Sanchi

As far as I know, auto completion (ctrl-space) should also automatically add imports, shouldn't it? Mhh, perhaps you will need to configure it in the preferences (it's somewhere under Java/Editor).
