Ganymede JavaDoc Auto-Completion problems [message #331014]

Hi,

I'm using Ganymede (Version: 3.4.0, Build id: I20080617-2000) in Mac OS
10.4 (intel) and experience problems with the JavaDoc autocompletion:

Precondition is an error- and warning-free project. I have a couple of
methods in different class files which have no JavaDoc comments yet.
Usually I type "/**" and RETURN to automatically create a JavaDoc
template I just have to fill in with my comments. That's the way it
worked in 3.3 everytime, everywhere and also in its predecessors.

But in 3.4 the autocompletion fails absolutely randomly on some methods
- I can find no logical connection between a non-working JavaDoc
autocompletion and the class files or methods. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't - it's not a matter of time (no restarts helps
e.g.), only the method itself matters.

"Not working" means that I type "/**" and RETURN and simply nothing
happens, the comment isn't even closed.

I have browsed the configuration dialogs up and down multiple times and
queried the knowledge base, but I seem to be the only one facing this
odd behaviour.

Has anybody any idea what's going on here?

Thank you very much in advance

Bastian

Well,

obviously I'm the only one with that problem - very strange.
Sincerely I've restored the autocomplete defaults in the settings (even
if I never changed them) but it didn't help.

It has to be somewhat depending on the classfile - if the JavaDoc
autocompletion doesn't work for a specific method and I copy and paste
the method to another class, it most often works. But other method's may
work in the same class.

I have absolutely no idea what's the crux here...

Hi,

is there any none JavaDoc comment before? I think I can remember that
JavaDoc auto-creation failed when the code looked like this.

/*
*
*/

/** => didn't worked
public void bla() {
}

Hi,

no, there is no other comment before. The code looks like this:

/**
/* Javadoc autocompletion may work here
*/
public ... method (...) {
....
}

public ... othermethod (...) {
....
}

The JavaDoc autocompletion fails when putting /** in the line before
"public othermethod (...)" and hitting RETURN.

As it works properly in 3.3 I fear this is somewhat more delicate...

Thanks a lot

Bastian

Hi,

some additional info (and most probably the root of all evil):

I've tested it on another machine, also Ganymede, but Mac OS 10.5.4.
Same behaviour. And it becomes even more odd:

A file, having a couple of private variables and public methods, has one
method looking like that:

public Bean executeMethod(HttpMethodBase method, Bean bean) throws
JobFinderException
{
method.setRequestHeader("Accept",
" text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0 .9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 ");
method.setRequestHeader("Accept-Language",
"de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3");
method.setRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip,deflate");
method.setRequestHeader("Accept-Charset",
"ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7");
method.setRequestHeader("Keep-Alive", "300");
method.setRequestHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
.....
}

Autocompletion does not work here. BUT when I remove the line

method.setRequestHeader("Accept",
" text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0 .9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 ");

it works properly in the whole file.

Even if I just change the line to:

method.setRequestHeader("Accept",
" text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0 .9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png;q=0.5 ");

it works as it should. So the crux here is that the string "*/" is
obviously confusing the - apparently very simple - algorithm for
detecting comments (and their ends).

I guess this is indeed a bug in Ganymede - what do you think?

Thanks

Bastian

I think that bugzilla is the right forum to report bugs ;-)
