Content assist contributor extension points? [message #36403]

Hello.

I am wondering if DLTK offers extension points for additional content
assist contributors the way JDT and CDT do?

(For example in case of a JavaScript project one might want to offer
completion for Microsoft APIs or custom APIs which aren't supported out
of the box by the DLTK-JavaScript IDE.)

With best regards

It *is* supported by WTP's JSDT, on the other hand, through its
org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.javaCompletionProposalComputer extension
point. But it sounds more like you should plug into the indexing so
that the files declaring those APIs are content assistable and
resolvable like everything else.

Hello Nitin,

Unfortunately in the case I am dealing with the problem is that there
are no source code files in the scripting language at hand declaring the
APIs. (I suspect it is similar with MS JScript APIs usable in WSH,
JavaScript APIs in Adobe products, etc.)
