Description David Michonneau CLA 2007-08-01 10:05:54 EDT 
This is a follow up of bug148405

The enhancements left to implement are:
 
- Make the dropdown a navigation control in the script, by showing the 
implemented methods in bold (requires SWT support to bold items in a dropdown)
- Disable this and reportContext in the Context of palette, not applicable for 
chart scripts
- Error reporting in script using problems view and error markers in editor 
(not only for charts but all report items)
- javadoc to be displayed as tooltips on known methods.

For the second issue, I think model should provide api to allow extended item override argument info as described in bug 209592. We will address remaining issues.

Added bold display for exiting functions and javascript syntax check.
