Hi All
I want to extend content assist feature of Java Source Editor, by adding
my own items for the content assist. From looking at the code, I understand
that in order to do that I have to implement my own instance of
IContentAssistProcessor and register it with IContentAssistant of the
editor.
However I cannot find an extension point that would allow me to specify my
instance of IContentAssistProcessor. It is quite surprising because I can
see that extension points for IQuickAssistProcessor, IQuickFixProcessor and
IJavadocCompletionProcessor which in my understanding have a similar
functionality to IContentAssistProcessor.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could explain me what is the right
way to implement the extension for the content assist functionality and give
me a hint which extension points to use.

Thank you very much !

You can't. The Java Editor and its JavaCompletionProcessor are internal.
