Hi,

I am currently developing a RCP application in Eclipse. Right now it is very minimalistic and consists of only one part containing a Text object as such:

public class MainPart {
private Text txtInput;
@PostConstruct
public void createComposite(Composite parent) {
parent.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));
txtInput = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
txtInput.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL));
}
}

I would like to add an auto-completion functionality to the Text object, how do I approach this problem?

The auto-completion should, at least hopefully when it is finished, be able to auto-complete java code. So basically I want to copy the auto-completion that already exists in Eclipse, and put it in my minimalistic RCP. I am having trouble finding simple examples or tutorials for making RCP applications, so pretty much anything that may help would be appriciated.

Please note that I am new to the subject of RCP, and I have been searching a lot in different forums for answers, but I cannot really seem to find the core ingredients that are necessary to make an auto-completion functionality.

The following things might help:
* Make yourself familiar with Eclipse/JFace-Text component
* let the PDE wizard generate a sample XML-Editor for your to see the
most minimal things happening, like paritioning, scanning, damaging,
repainting.
* import the sources of JDT-UI, make yourself familiar with
CompilationUnit, the resources system, ... search for
JavaSourceViewer to see how JDT implements all the features
