Description Alejandro Torras CLA 2009-11-04 13:05:48 EST 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ca; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but since I downloaded the new Galileo version this feature just don't work in neither variable, field nor method invocation proposals.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a String variable (named "stringVar" for example) and then try to let it be "best-guessed" when calling Integer.parseInt() static method.
Comment 1 Alejandro Torras CLA 2009-11-04 13:06:36 EST 
I think this bug is important because it makes me erase and re-type the method arguments until I disable the "Fill method arguments and show guessed arguments" option, but doing so it just downgrades the "java edition" experience in eclipse, in my humble opinion, to a "just works" experience.

Regards.

This works fine for me using 3.6 M3:

0. start with new workspace
1. paste the following snippet into the Package Explorer:
public class a {
	void foo() {
		String stringVar;
		Integer.parse
	}
}
2. code assist after parse
3. select parseInt(String)
==> Integer.parseInt(stringVar)

If you still see the bug with 3.6 M3 then please reopen with more detailed steps to reproduce.

Hi Dani,

Thank you for your fast reply.

Following your posted test, it seems a problem with some plugin I have installed after or I just downloaded a bogus build.

Should I post the "Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Configuration " details?

Regards.

Ops!

It seems that this bug has been targeted for version 3.6 *wrongly*, because the .eclipseproduct attached shows clearly version 3.5.0 inside.

Reopening the bug and changing the version to 3.5
Comment 6 Alejandro Torras CLA 2009-11-05 11:43:24 EST 
Changing Version to 3.5 and reopening for revision.

Same test case from comment 2 also works for me using Eclipse SDK R3.5 ;-)

Alejandro, I suspect you have Mylyn installed and you're seeing bug 271252. Please reopen if I'm wrong.
