in progress Content Assist (90% - support static imports, varargs, @annotations)


Javadoc: code assist supports extended @value syntax.		 works inserts angular brackets when completing a type.
works type parameter are inserted where known.
works type parameters are proposed in javadoc.		 not applicable works Enum types are proposed.
works Enum constants are proposed.		 not applicable annotations are proposed by their name, but without the '@' not applicable works Parameter proposes autoboxing candidates
proposals from core do not yet consider auto(un)boxing, see 84720		 inside import section: not applicable, we don't offer content assist here
works in code		 Avoid auto-activating content assist when typing an ellipsis (...)
works Typing works angular bracket auto-insertion not applicable not affected not applicable works double-click strategy is @-aware. not applicable not affected not affected parameter insertion / guessing should propose one (?) parameter
works Mark Occurrences works type variables

works static method import highlighting		  
works Folding not affected (type parameters lists are hardly going to be long) not applicable works not applicable works annotations get folded away without obscuring the method name not applicable not applicable not applicable  
works Comment Formatting Comment formatting is not affected by any of the additions to javadoc or java.

in progress Syntax Coloring (90% - more colorings) partially works.
works Method highlighting of generic constructors.
consider color extends and super differently inside type bounds.
consider color angular brackets differently.
works semantic highlighting for type variables		 not applicable works enum keyword is colored consider color enum constants differently (semantic coloring). works @ interface is colored works @ Deprecated is colored. See bug 82452 for what's missing (P4)
workssemantic highlighting for the element names of element-value pairs.		 works auto(un-)boxed expressions are highlighted consider color static imports (semantic coloring).  
in progress Java Outline Page (80% - provide decorations for standard annotations) works works works concrete Enum implementations are rendered as anonymous subclasses. works works works
consider introduce decorations for the standard annotations and perhaps even a way to specify custom decorations for custom annotations.		 works not affected not affected  
in progress Javadoc Hover (80% - add annotation info to hover) works @param is rendered
methods of parameterized types: show the type bound in the header (bug 81154)		 not applicable works works works We should display annotations to a method - waiting for core support in IMethod not applicable works  
works Source Hover works source of type bounds
works declarations of type variables		 works not applicable works not applicable works not applicable works  
works Templates works enhanced for loop not applicable not applicable - the switch template also covers for the enum case not applicable not applicable - there are no typical annotations that need a template not applicable not applicable - there are no templates that resolve local variables with autoboxing opportunities not applicable
