Is it possible to have java.util.List on favorite?

[RMCampos]

When trying to import List from java.util (java.util.List) this option is way down in the list of possible packages. Is there any option to make it go up, something like a default or favorite option? (I'm aware of the java.completion.favoriteStaticMembers, that's why I'm asking). Thanks in advance.

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• JDK version: 17.0.8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.84.2
• Java extension version: 1.25.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a blank Java project
2. Start typing "List"
3. One can see lots of List packages but no java.util.List.

[Please attach a sample project reproducing the error]
No sample project required (IMO).

Please attach logs
No errors to show.

Current Result

It's required to scroll down and look for this package.

Expected Result

Since this is a quite common package, I'd like to see it on top.

Additional Informations

None.

You mean in a case like this ?

I don't think this is possible yet, but it's very similar to part of eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1423, and eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#2484 . In fact the exact same issue (java.util.List being low) is brough up in #3341 (comment) ! However, these wouldn't help in a completely empty project as they'd only prioritize imports that have already been used frequently.

This certainly worths optimization. In a typical Spring Boot project (spring-petclinic), numerous List classes from various dependencies are included. However, when typing ‘List’, the suggestion for “java.util.List” does not appear as a top priority, which makes it hard to find the "java.util.List" from intelliSense.

I have the same problem.

  It's strange that it can be imported normally again without upgrading

Using Ctrl+. on the "List" brings up java.util.List, correctly. It is very annoying to have to use a different keystroke to get intelligent completion just for this one class. A solution is needed.
