Hi,

I'm implementing a text editor plugin. I have completion processing
working and I can generate context information messages, but I am
confused about how these work together.

I think I have two questions:

1. In the Java editor when you type a '.' after an object instance you
get a pop-up providing completions. This looks like the context
information pop-up except that selecting an option causes it to be
inserted into the text.

2. With the above pop-up eclipse can also generate a second pop-up that
gives additional information on the possible selections. I haven't found
how to produce this. What is it called and how do I generate it?

Many thanks,

Martin
