Exchange method bracket problem [message #1697391]

Hello everyone,

I often copy a row like this:

		MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");

Now lets say my class has a total of ten methods like oneOutOfTen, twoOutOfTen...

What I am doing is coping this line 10 times so I have

		MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");

Then I double click the method name and press ctrl + space for proposals and chose the method I want. But then this line looks like this:

		MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
		myclass.setFieldOneOutOfTen("1");
		myclass.setFieldTwoOutOfTen(string)("1");

So I can enter the new argument but the ("1") is still there. Is it possible that eclipse uses the ("1") as arguments instead of creating the new argument brackets?

Hopefully you understand my problem. Its kind of difficult to describe.

Thanks for you help and many greetings,
Hauke

The completion is telling you that a string argument goes there in the
context of how you engaged it. It will not see that you've already got a
string argument and then use that. Sorry.
