Yes, the completion proposal computer would need to be contributed through the
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaCompletionProposalComputer extension point. To disable it
by default from contributing to the first content assist invocation
popup, you'd need
to add it to CODEASSIST_EXCLUDED_CATEGORIES.

You might need to do more to ensure it's disabled on subsequent invocations (eg.
multiple ctrl+space) but the above property should be a good start.
