Hi programmers,

on stackoverflow.com a user issued request for a fulltext completion
engine in Eclipse. The goal of such a code completion should be:

Triggering code completion on a statement like "button.sxt|<^Space>"
should evaluate to "button.setText(text)" since "setText" matches all
characters given in the prefix in the right order.

I spent a few minutes to create a fairly ad hoc (and naive) prototype of
such an engine about which I blogged here:

http://code-recommenders.blogspot.com/2011/05/subword-matchi ng-completion-engine-for.html

and discussed here:

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/209269/

If you like the idea, it would be nice if you give it a try. Comments
and suggestions welcome. Best here -->
http://eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.recommenders :)


Thanks,
Marcel
