Features requested a long time ago but never done [message #283938] Thu, 14 April 2005 05:30 Go to next message

Hello Eclipse maintainers, here are some small features that i would love
to have in Eclipse:

1- This is easy: a Syntax Color for "Inherited Method Decleration" (and
not invocation.) This helps ensuring a visual verification of the
inherited method, in case one changes accidentally the original method
WITHOUT using the refactory feature.

2- For God's sake, seperate Code (or Content) Assist from Templates; it is
very annoying to mix both when trying to complete your code, while having
your dozzens of Templates hanging around. This should be easy enough, no ?
If not then send me your code and i'll tell you what to modify :)

3- Again for Code (Content) Assist: the visual effect is very useful; make
the actual object's resources different from inherited one, for instance a
bold font or something like that.

4- And again Code (Content) Assist: propose completion even if what we
enter does not exist; for example if i type "object.eqa" you should
propose, among others, the "equals" method. The "eq" should be enough to
propose all that begin with "eq", even if the "a" is misplaced and no
method or variable begins with "eqa".

Thanx in advance for responding and thank you for that wonderful project.

Sorry, but it does not work like that. If you want to request
features/bug fixes, you have to open individual problem reports in Bugzilla:

Ok, but that's what i read in this newsgroup description:

"...If you think you've discovered a bug, or discovered a missing feature,
you can ask a question here, or check the bug database..."

You might as well remove that phrase, or make it clearer.

Anyway, these were just suggestions for very basic features; i 'm sorry i
don't have much to look up where to declare new features.

cheers

You got me wrong.

Checking with other users if something is actually a bug is good.
Throwing in ideas for new features so they can be discussed with the
user commmunity is great too.

I was not saying your post was off-topic. I just wanted to make clear
that if you really want something addressed, the right thing to do is to
open a problem report for that (one for each bug/feature).
