Exclude certain packages from autocomplete/autoimport

[liangjacky]

Autoimport does not work when you have packages that have the same class name.

For example, when typing List<String> a = new List<String>(), there will be errors because it doesn't know whether to resolve against java.util.List or java.awt.List.

If I know in my project I never use the java.awt package, can we add a setting to ignore that from the autocomplete/autoimport feature?

We need a java.completion.filteredTypes preference, that basically behaves as JDT UI's type filter preference:

Guys I am having problem with 'javax.swing.*' and related GUI library in VSCode, other thread explain I need to exclude it from my settings.json but nothing related to 'java.completion.filteredTypes' is placed as I have clean uninstall VSCode (The previous extensions and settings, this is a fresh install).

is there any related thread that mention about GUI related libraries fixes?
