Hi,
Here's my question for those short on time:
Can someone provide an overview of how to add/extend Tool Tip/Code
complete functionality to the JDT editor? I'd like to add custom
functionality which provides context specific information to a developer
working with our paradigm.
Here's a longer explanation:
I'm just starting out with Eclipse development and I had some general
questions I wonder if anyone could give me some direction/answers for.
At work we are using WSAD and a development paradigm which reuses a
generic value object for all of our VOs, and each of these generic vos
(GVO) are differentiated by setting a unique key on the object.
Since there is no way to use Ctrl-Space and find out what the unique key
is I'd like to write something which traces through the code and finds out
what the key for a particular object is at a particular point in time.
I'd like this functionality to be tied to a pair of unused keyboard keys.
Looking through the documentation I think I can write the code to find the
unique key, but I am having a hard time getting started with the Tool
Tip/Code complete section. I am guessing that it would be an extension of
the JDT but I don't have a good idea of where to begin.
TIA,
Alex

Alex, you can't currently do what you ask for. You can file an
enhancement request against jdt-text if you want.
