PHP generics support in Eclipse [message #1834958]

Hello,

I was looking for a sort of generics support (as for example known in Java world) for one of my PHP projects. I found medium.com/@ondrejmirtes/generics-in-php-using-phpdocs-14e7301953 (Sorry I am not allowed to link here yet) where in phpstorm it seems this is supported.

As this is only related to phpdoc, it is merely a thing of the IDE. Thus my question: Is there some support for something similar in Eclipse PDT or is there a plan for that?

If no: Where can I file a feature request? The Eclipse bug tracker does not allow to add a new "bug" and I am unsure if under github the issues are worked on.

Thank you
Christian

I'm currently evaluating eclipse after using textmate for all my development for many years. what i miss in eclipse and what I can't find any solution for are some kind of generic templates:

I'm using PDT for my JavaScript and PHP development, and it supports code-templates. however , in my projects I'm writing large amounts of shell-scripts, yml-configuration-files, xml-files, gnu make scripts, etc., too. I'm writing source-documentation for all these scripts using a generic syntax (similar to robodoc) and you can save much time, when you can insert the doc-blocks using templates. however, besides PDT not all of the editor-plugins support templates.

Is there some generic way of storing code-snippets/templates in eclipse, which will work across all editor-plugins? I think it should be possible to implement such using eclipse monkey -- however, it seems development of monkey was stopped?

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.0.

3.4.0 was released in 2014. You should upgrade.

Still, even that release can have the "WST Common UI" feature installed and make use of the Snippets View (you likely already have it installed).
