Bug 116573 wrong guess of binding with overloaded methods
Create two classes like this package var.creation.test; public class b { public final void m(int x, String y) {} // private final void m(String x) {} // public final void m(boolean x, String y, String z) {} } package var.creation.test; public class a { public a() { new b().m(first, second); } } Now applying "Quick Fix">"Create Local Var first/Create field first" creates a String variable/field instead of "int first" and for the second parameter "String second". When the method signature is fully typed and available there is only one possibility from the 3 signatures.
