CompletionContext#getTokenStart() returns -1 [message #255205]

We have an implementation of IJavaCompletionProposalComputer in Dali that we use to help
users enter valid strings in JPA annotations. In certain situations the CompletionContext
we get from the JavaContentAssistInvocationContext passed in to our implementation of
computeCompletionProposals(ContentAssistInvocationContext, IProgressMonitor) seems a bit
malformed.

Given the follow code snippet:

@OneToMany(mappedBy="parent")
private Set<Foo> children;

If I place the cursor immediately after the " and before the ) and invoke content assist
(Ctrl-Space), our Computer gets a CompletionContext that returns the following values:

getToken() -> null
getTokenStart() -> -1
getTokenEnd() -> -1

It's not clear from the JavaDoc that I should be expecting -1 for the token start and/or
token end in this situation. Am I mistaken? If so, when should I expect these values?

Thanks.
Brian

I suggest to file a bug report against JDT Core.
