But there’s a way to filter out those unwanted options: add a .idea/codeInsightSettings.xml file to your project with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
  <component name="JavaProjectCodeInsightSettings">
    <excluded-names>
      <name>java.awt</name>
      <name>javax.swing</name>
      <name>sun.awt</name>
      <name>com.sun.awt</name>
    </excluded-names>
  </component>
</project>

What this does is to disable suggestions related to awt and swing, so we get this instead:
