I have implemented the `JvmElementProvider` interface and created a `PsiFile` using `PsiFileFactory.getInstance(project).createFileFromText`. The code is as follows:

```auto
PsiFile psiFile = PsiFileFactory.getInstance(project).createFileFromText(
                "demo.java", 
                JavaFileType.INSTANCE, "xxx");

```

I have also implemented `PsiShortNamesCache`. While coding, code completion works fine, but during auto-import, IDEA does not automatically add import statements. Instead, it completes the class name with its fully qualified name. During debugging, I found that an exception was thrown in the following code.

My expectation was for IDEA to automatically import the necessary package.
