Is there anyway to get Eclipse to automatically look for static imports? For example, now that I've finally upgraded to Junit 4, I'd like to be able to write:

assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);

hit Ctrl + Shift + O and have Eclipse add:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

Maybe I'm asking too much.

I'm applying Eclipse Europa, which also has the Favorite decision section:

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Favorites

I have the subsequent entries (when combining, use "New Type" and omit the .*):

org.hamcrest.Matchers.*

org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*

org.junit.*

org.junit.Assert.*

org.junit.Assume.*

org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatcher.*

All but the third of these are static imports. By holding those as favorites, if I type "assertT" and hit Ctrl+Space, Eclipse allows up assertThat as a recommendation, and if I choose it, it will add the precise static import to the file.
