Re: [jdt-core-dev] Code completion for annotations values 
done.


Please add your comments i.e. what exactly you are missing (or need) from
the current context info to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110181.

Thanks,
Dani

I am familiar with JavaCompletionProposalComputer. I understand this is
the current basis for completion extension, but I am more asking about
specific functionality to assist with annotation value completion. With
the completion of bug 110188, it is now possible to complete inside of a



string literal, but this is only a first step in providing completion
inside an annotation value.


yes, but it is the place you would implement. I have asked about 3 to 4
times
on the jdt newsgroup on how to get more context about the location i'm at
but have
still not received any answer.


What I am trying to determine now is whether additional support is going



to be added to the core/ui/apt to facilitate annotation completion, or
whether we  would need to roll our own solution, which wouldn't appear
to be very straight forward.


The apt guys have some code completion support but I chose not to depend
on it
since it requires alot of manual work to actually enable it.

I find it pretty straight forward though, besides the missing part about
how to
get context information.


As for the Hibernate Tools, unfortunately I can't look at your
implementation due to licensing.


well i don't do more than just use it, so nothing really magically in
there ;)


I did download your latest plugins to try this functionality
out, but it seems the code completion is just a static list of choices,
which
doesn't meet our needs of having a context based list of choices (such
as the
table/column completion you have in XML). Maybe I am doing something
wrong here?
I seem to get a big list of function names.


You will need to have the configuration "started" (e.g. expanded) then
the code completion works in context of the HQL.

Yes, table name completion etc. is hard to do because of the missing
context (besides access to the underlying string).

I think apt have code completion for specific annotations

Hi Neil,

It is already in there in Eclipse 3.2 as I told you at EclipseWorld :)

See Hibernate Tools plugins for an example of how it can be used for
code completion in annotation's.

I'm still though looking for efficient code to get more context
about the position code completion is invoked...

Greetings,

The WTP-JPA project needs to provide in-source annotation value
completion as a
part of our feature set, and from looking at JDT documentation, it seems



this
topic has been accounted for in previous planning. In the JDT Core R3.2
plan*
there was a bullet item under 'Code Assist' for "Completion in
annotation member
pair value". Also, under 'Java SE 6', there is text referring to
"pluggable API
for participating in compilation and completion" under 'Annotation
processing
tools'. I am inquiring as to the status of this general functionality,
as it
seems that some work has been done to facilitate this in the core, but
there
does not seem to be anything for a client, such as us, to consume at
this point.
Any insight into the status of these plans or future plans regarding
implementation of this support would be extremely helpful. Thank you,

Neil Hauge
WTP-JPA Lead
