Content Assist [message #1842241]

Hello all,

is there a way to add a static list of items to the content assist popup?

I'm doing a tool to extract frequent object method invocations from my sources. I want to have them when i type so i can reuse methods calls that I've done in the past code.

To explain better it's similar to tabnine.com but not at all automated. The list is static as I've said, I will get it from some pre processing outside Eclipse.

If it cannot be done where i can see in the Eclipse source code the point where that can be coded ?

thanks!

Every editor in Eclipse can handle this differently, so which one are you talking about? And are the proposals truly static or
merely pre-calculated outside of Eclipse? That's two very different things.

Hi, i need it for java and secondly for javascript. Proposals are pre-calculated outside of Eclipse, in other words I can generate them every one week for example.

For JavaScript you can ask about it at https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/.

Not sure if I understand you correctly -- but did you check out Window- > Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Favorites?

It lets you define classes or individual static members of selected classes that will be proposed by content assist and if chosen be inserted as static imports.

I generate a .txt with completion proposals, one per line, I want to import it as an addition to completion proposals when i type in the editor.

okay, did you check out the option I mentioned? It will do what you want with the exception that you can't directly import your list but have to type in the class names.
