[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

• Operating System: win10 1909
• JDK version: 1.8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.38.1
• Java extension version: latest

didn't show more item inside awt.

didn't show actionListener even I import java.awt.event.* manually.

didn't show the method add(). But if I write it down manually and hover the mouse on it, vscode shows me details as usual.

Expected Result

show all public method

Additional Informations

Working well few days ago, it seems didn't work suddenly.

This is due to java.awt.* packages now being excluded from autocompletion/import by default (See #710).
Simply remove java.awt.* from the list of excluded packages in java.completion.filteredTypes in your settings.json.

I am having the same problem with javax.swing.* components. I have checked my settings file, and there aren't any "java.completion.filteredTypes" entries in my settings files. I do not see the default value of "java.awt.*" as indicated in the last post.

You should type "java.completion" first, then you will see it.

Interesting. So the setting will not show unless you add it first? That's odd behavior. Once I add it, it defaults only the "java.awt." and "com.sun." classes. Neither of those entries should be filtering the javax.swing.* class methods. If I import "javax.swing.JTextField", for instance, create a new instance and type "myField.setName", the method does not show in code completion box. It seems most of the setters and getters are missing.

You also need to increase the value of Java>Completion:Max Results. It is defaulted to 50 for performance reasons.

I cant understand this because I have issues with the 'javax.swing.*' and GUI related Libraries.
Can someone explain this step-by-step on how to do this?
Maybe some screenshot?

Since the file settings.json is read-only puroposes , to remove the package java.awt.* from the java.completion.filteredTypes you have to do the following : 1) press ctrl + shift + P 2) write : open user settings 3) ctrl +f and search for java.completion.filteredTypes . Then you can edit json and exclude java.awt.* .
