When I type the name of a class which will need to be imported, IntelliJ lovingly pops up with a list of suggestions. However, most of the time those suggestions are things I d never want to import, especially by accident -- like java.awt.*.
Is there a way to prevent the packages I ll never import from appearing in the completion list?
I ve scoured the options but I haven t found anything.
Depending on the IDEA version: Yes.
In 7.0.5 use menu File -> Settings choose Code Completion and then Exclude from Import and Completion and add the package or class that you don t want to have in your suggestions.
In version 8 and version 9 use menu File -> Settings type "Auto import" into the search box and use the Exclude from Import and Completion box there.
In version 9 you also have the option of adding Classes and Packages to the exclude-list directly from the import suggestions context-menu:
I m not sure since when this feature exists. It certainly in the upcoming version 9.0:
When the import-popup shows you can navigate from there to two ignore-option. For example when you type List it could be ignore java.awt.List from auto-import and ignore java.awt from auto import
Or you can configure it in the settings: Editor->Auto-Import: There you can add and remove ignored packages and classes.
in IntelliJ version 13.* and 14.* to Excluding Classes from Auto-Import
Steps:
1) Open the Settings dialog box, and under the Editor node, click Auto-Import.
2) On the Editor | Auto-Import page, click +
3) In the dialog box that opens, type the name of the class or a whole package to be excluded [ in your case write java.awt.* ], and click OK.
Use + and - to manage the list of classes and packages that IntelliJ IDEA shouldn t place to the suggestion list.
4) Apply changes and close the Settings dialog.
