unhelpful auto insertion of quotes when closing a multi line string

This is quite annoying and should be fixed.

Unfortunately, this is not as simple as I had originally thought. Bracket and quote matching is performed inside of CompilationUnitEditor. The field is private/final and is of type BracketInserter, which is a private class. Essentially, the only way I can really effect behavior here is to patch jdt.ui (AspectJ is another enticing option, but also a no-go).

I think the best solution here is to disable single and double quote matching inside Groovy Editors.

Not entirely pleased with the solution, but it is fixed. Now, strings will never be auto-closed. My reasoning is that the annoyance of having triple quoted strings not autoclosing properly is greater than the annoyance of not having any autoclosing at all for strings (because I don't really find it too useful).

However, I can easily be persuaded otherwise...

Closing this bug, but reopen if you don't like the change. I may post on the mailing list to see what others think.

Perhaps this should be a separate issue. (This is with RC4)

When editing a line to add a string, such as changing

assert exec.input, USAGE

to

assert exec.input, "No input specified" + USAGE

Adding the first quote results in one quote inserted. Typing the close-quote inserts two quotes (leaving the cursor between them). As long is I remember to hit DEL (and not) BS after typing the close, I can almost ignore this behavior.

In case it needs to be mentioned, when I type the first quote after the comma, the statement becomes invalid since there is no '+' operator.
