Description

E.g. In java code completion:
1.Str CTRL+SPACE => String and import (works most of the times in Groovy files :S )
2.String CTRL+SPACE => string
=> endresult in String string

If you do have it in the Java editor I expected it to be in the Groovy editor as well since it is such a nice feature!

Do you often name your variables of type String string? Or is there something more fundamental that you are trying to get at here?

For String it is indeed strange but for project specific own classes it makes more sense.
E.g.:
Book book
Customer customer
Appointment appointment
List<Customer> customers

In Java editor this stuff all works great and is a joy to use it.

Another use case:

String my| <= CTRL + SPACE here
   => brings String myString
ThreadLocal counter| <= CTRL + SPACE here
   => brings a dialog to choose between counterLocal and counterThreadLocal

Once again, the examples do not reveal how useful this can be in real-world cases.

Mauro,
In real world cases you have a complex business-model. Order, Customer, OrderItem, Book, Address,... Maybe a CustomerService and a CustomerRepository... You would type
Customer | <= CTRL + SPACE here
=> brings Customer customer
CustomerService | <= CTRL + SPACE here
=> brings a dialog to choose between customerService and service
List<Customer> | <= CTRL + SPACE here
=> brings a dialog to choose between customers and customerList and list
Check out how tyne Eclipse Java editor does this. Check out how IntelliJ does this for Groovy already. The added value and usefulness is in a larger context than proposed here in in this simple examples like: String | <= CTRL + SPACE here => brings String string

Additionally the Java editor goes a bit further and does this:
Customer | <= CTRL + SPACE here => brings Customer customer
The further type = new | <= CTRL + SPACE brings up all the Constructors for the Customer =>
resulting in final Customer customer = new Customer();
