nmatt opened a new issue, #9160:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/9160
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 28
### What happened
When used as case labels in switch statements, enum constants don't need to
be imported. However, copy-pasting such a switch statements has NetBeans
unnecessarily trigger the "Import Classes" dialog, and creating unnecessary
(and possibly conflicting) imports for the copied enum constants when the
dialog is acknoledged with "OK".
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
Java, Editor, Refactoring
### How to reproduce
Example
```java
switch (Thread.currentThread().getState())
{
case NEW: System.out.println("new"); break;
case BLOCKED: System.out.println("blocked"); break;
// etc.
}
```
Copy the switch statement and paste it into the same or a differen Java
source file.
=> The "Import Classes" dialog appears, unnecessarily wanting to add imports
for the enum constants.
The same happens for arrow-style (`->`) case statements.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
Windows
### JDK
JDK 21
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans binary zip
### Anything else
NetBeans should IMO recognize when an enum constant occurs within a `case`
construct in the copy-pasted code, and for such occurrence not regard the
constants as being in need of imports.
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
No
