Incomplete prototype (a proof of concept) is in Gerrit. https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/28598/ More complete now. See [1] for screenshot. Although it has quite a few limitations I'd be fine to merge this with HEAD until Monday to gather some feedback. [1] https://twitter.com/MarcelBruch/status/478913378547924992 Merged into HEAD. Early access users can install it via [1]. I'm looking for your comments. [1] http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/updates/head/ This was part of 2.1.1 already. |
To make the creation of new snippets for Snipmatch as easy as possible it would be great if one could selection a couple of lines in the Java editor and then select "Create snippet from selection" from the context menu. Such a menu item would then open the Snippet Editor with a snippet source derived from the selected Java code. For example, variables should be replaced by ${var} and ${var:newName(...)} were appropriate. That way, it would be much easier to get started with the little-known JFace template language.
