Hi!

Spotted in the new integration build that eclipse now has "Smart semicolon"
and "Smart open bracket" ...I have enabled them - but I can't find any
difference in behavior ?!

So, what does this smartness do ?

Hi Max,

the smartness lies all in moving the character (semicolon or opening brace)
to the end of the line, which helps when using code completion / code assist
which lets you end up before any automatically inserted parenthesis' or
closing quotation marks. Just hit semicolon then, no need to hit <end> first
to get to the end of line.
