That's why I found interesting to ask again, and get some other answers. One is emphasizing the matching characters in the proposal list. This is a generic feature that also applies to non-JDT and can be leveraged e.g. by CDT. Nothing that Code Recommenders provides at that level.Great then! I wasn't aware of that, and indeed it's a change that provides a high value for many projects and use-cases. The second thing is substring matching. The main trigger was Marcel Bruch, owner of Code Recommenders, which encouraged us to do this, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350000#c4:Similarly to above, is this implementation generic to apply to other language tools? |
