Summary: JavaSideKick: Code Completion, and import statements.

Initial Comment:
Moving the conversation from the release request over to a separate tracker item.

auto-completion to take into account imports. This is a nice to have feature as I don't know all the imports that are in the file without looking through all the import
statements. There can be lots of imports and it would be nice for the auto completion to take them into account.

This is how I typically work in an IDE,

List<ctrl+space> myList = new ArrayList<ctrl+space>();

In most IDE's, this would add java.util.List (or another List if I chose it) to the import statements and leave my statement as typed. Same goes for ArrayList.

This was actually pretty easy to implement, so I went ahead and added the
basic functionality. Basically, you can turn this option on in
JavaSideKick's general options pane (it's disabled by default), and when
it's on, completing on a classname will insert the import statement at the
top of the buffer rather than the full class name at the cursor.

For placement of the import statements, I made it pretty flexible. If
there are already any existing import statements, it will search through
those and insert it at the correct location (alphabetical order). If no
imports are defined yet, it will insert this right above the class
declaration:

//{{{ Imports
import full.class.name;
//}}}

Let me know if this works for you.

Oops.. got assigned to someone random.

To continue the conversation here. Other IDE's typically put the import
statements below the package statement, and then put them in alphabetic
order.
