Currently when user wants to use `Button` instance, java.awt is suggested default import:

In case my plugin is running I would like to prioritize my Button implementation:

My current implementation (not working in 2025.3):

> <https://github.com/vaadin/intellij-plugin/pull/482>

> Adds a proximity weigher that boosts com.vaadin.\* classes when resolving ambiguo…us imports/completion entries in Java projects that already depend on Vaadin.

You could check how to add AWT to ignored imports automatically when your plugin recognizes Vaadin project. I’d say it would be more helpful.

It is available in UI

- **File → Settings**
- **Editor → Code Style → Java**
- Open the **Imports** tab.
- In the section **“Exclude from import and completion”** , click
