Eclipse - Why .class isn't auto suggested?

Question

I'm using Eclipse 2018-09 (but same issue also in other versions)

When I write code using .class, for example for logger:

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyServiceImpl.class);

.class is never auto suggested by Eclipse even by clicking CtrlSpace

I tried to check all Java auto suggest methods in code assist prefernces

Why valid .class isn't suggested by Eclipse? can it be enabled?

No .class in auto suggestion:

I is. When I type `String.`, it shows up in the suggestion menu. A matter of versions or modified settings, perhaps? — ernest_k, Jan 13 '19 at 08:25
@ernest_k I don't think it's version related, but I don't have this option shown/suggested, but also I tried changing all code assistant properties — Ori Marko, Jan 13 '19 at 08:27
Try Ctrl + Space ? tbh I've never used Ctrl + Enter, is that the default mapping? — Jorn Vernee, Jan 13 '19 at 08:31

@SudhirOjha I tried both cases of all checked and only Java proposals checked — Ori Marko, Jan 13 '19 at 08:37

I found the issue,

It was because I added Type Filter of java.lang.Object (to avoid suggesting Object methods)

When I remove/uncheck it .class is added to suggestion
