[Feature] Code-assist : Get class name as string [message #1737310]

Hi,

In PHP, we can not pass a class as parameter, so we generally manipulate class name as string, PHP allows it, e.g $class::callMe()

Eclipse PDT is able to complete a class name in PHP Doc or directly in source code but PDT does not seem to be able to complete a class name in a string.
So, it could not complete in every string but maybe in a special mode or whatever... This may really help us to avoid hand-writing.

Thank you for this great IDE !

Other example:

public static function getObjectClass() {
	return '\Namespace\To\My\Class';
}

PDT already autoassist class names inside string, but only after ctrl+space. Try this: $x = 'MyClass|'; <-- where | is your cursor. PDT suggest classes with MyClass prefix or autoinsert MyClass FQN.

This will not work for prefixes with "\".
