Re: [jdt-dev] Comparison of changes in completion vs Recommenders

["Daniel Megert" <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mickael, you already asked the exact same
thing in a bug before, but anyway.

There are two different things:

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.

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:

A "plain" subwords engine clearly would
be a great fit for JDT and should be part of JDT. 

We would not have started this work
with our own resources, but there was a GSoC project in 2015 that got mentored
by Lars and Noopur. The GSoC person is still committed to finish that work.

Hi all,

I see several changes and several bug reports about improving completion
in JDT (subword, highlighting strings...). I'm wondering what is the interest
for JDT to spend resources in reimplementing these features, that has been
delivered to users by Code Recommenders at least since Mars.0 ?

Cheers,
