Eclipse : transform static method invocation to a static import
automated-refactoring, eclipse, java
Solution
Put the cursor on the method name (`asList`) and press `Ctrl-Shift-M`.
This is the default keyboard shortcut for the 'Add Import' command. You can also find the command on the 'Source' menu.
Problem
Is there a way to transform automatically this static method invocation (`Arrays.asList`): ``` import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; public class StaticImport { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = Arrays.asList("hello", "world"); System.out.println(list); } } ``` to this invocation using a `static import`: ``` import static java.util.Arrays.asList; import java.util.List; public class StaticImport { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = asList("hello", "world"); System.out.println(list); } } ``` I know that i can configure the code completion using this `Window » Preferences » Java » Editor » Content Assist » Favorites`as described in this answer. My question is about transforming an existing static method invocation. Ideally, i would like do not have to configure a "favorite import".
