Description Lars Vogel CLA 2012-08-23 02:55:04 EDT
I think Subwords and Chain Completion should be combined. If Chain Completion is not active, than Subwords should work as before.

If active the information of the return type (if present) should be also considered. This way we would have one powerful code completion engine.

You are essentially requesting a more flexible content assist completion as proposed in bug 340876. Every other solution would be a hack and the time spent on the wrong location.


If you want to use chain completion with subwords on the default(!) content assist list NOW, you can install Gerrit's crowd-sourcing chain completion [1] for testing the this behavior. Performance feedback welcome. Note that the crowd-sourcing completion collects usage statistics for research purpose. See [1] for details.

Closing this with wont fix because combinations of engines should be handled in JDT.

You misunderstood me, I don't want two proposals integrated but I think Chain Completion should work similar to Subwords

Example:

Person p = test.tp -> trigger Call chain should now return methods which match to tp AND return an object of type Person.
