No code completion for constructor invocation of local classes #9199

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 28

What happened

For local classes, code completion for the class name works, but for constructor invocations (new expressions) no code completion is offered.

How to reproduce

Example:

class Example
{
    static class NonLocalClass { int a; int b; NonLocalClass(int a, int b) { } }
    record NonLocalRecord(int a, int b) { }

    void method()
    {
        class LocalClass { int a; int b; LocalClass(int a, int b) { } }
        record LocalRecord(int a, int b) { }
        
        new LocalClass   // <– code completion here
    }
}

=> No argument-list code completion for the local classes is offered, in contrast to constructor invocations of nonlocal classes.
