IntelliJ Static Import Completion
intellij-idea, java
Solution
Version >= 2021.x
`Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java -> Imports (tab)`.
Version >= 11:
`Settings -> Code Style -> Java -> Imports (tab)`.
Version < 11
`Settings -> Code Style -> Imports`
In the middle of the pane is the "Packages to Use Import with '*'" table. You can add an entry here of a fully-qualified class name, and tick the static box; now all static methods in this class will be available for auto-completion.
(I'm not sure how the static import works with specifying a package, as I've never tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Specifying a super-package and ticking the "with subpackages" option could be even more interesting.)
Problem
In Eclipse I was able to register a set of classes for static import auto-completion, e.g. Math., Assert., EasyMock.* With this enabled I was able to hit ctrl-space assertEquals, pow, createMock etc. would appear as valid code completions. I'm struggling to find this in IntelliJ but am sure it must exist. Can anyone help? Thanks!
