Description

The JDT provides better parameter completion than Groovy-Eclipse. For example, JDT will guess some likely parameters and provide extra content assist as you navigate through the parameters.

Also, when invoking content assist inside of an open/close paren pair, you get a list of possible methods and all the possible parameters.

How much of this can Groovy-Eclipse do?

Would be nice at a minimum to support the following completions:

  • true and false when the type is boolean
  • someClass when the type is SomeClass (ie- first letter is lower-case to create a standard Java/Groovy name from the type name).
  • any constants available of an appropriate type
  • null
  • the name of the parameter

Can we get fancier?

Unfortunately, there is not much JDT functionality that we can borrow for this, so we'd have to reinvent quite a bit.

I have an implementation that is working now. I will hold off committing this until Groovy 1.8 and 1.7.10 are added and all tests are passing.
