I'm wondering if it would be possible to get the content assist results to show up in a side view as a tree rather than the current at the cursor pop-up.

Essentially I want to navigate what's "possible" at my current location and quickly expand through call paths without having to type them out. The content assist interface already "knows" what's available, so this seems feasible, it's just a question of how deep in the content assist code I have to change things.

Not for free but you could implement this on your own.

How much of the existing proposals you need (Java, templates, Mylyn,
etc.)? Basically, you need to call the core content assist
infrastructure with th right arguments and then write a view that
displays the results.

I need the classes and methods that can be accessed at the current cursor position.

Take a look at org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICodeAssist.

ICodeAssist looks like it needs proposals to come in from content assist, but far as I can tell ItextViewer's don't have a public call like getContentAssistantProcessor() that I can find.

I had assumed I could somehow combine

int offset = 0;
IEditorPart editor = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor();
if (editor instanceof ITextEditor)
{
  ISelectionProvider selectionProvider = ((ITextEditor)editor).getSelectionProvider();
  ISelection sel = selectionProvider.getSelection();
  if (sel instanceof ITextSelection)
  {
	  ITextSelection tSel = (ITextSelection)sel ;
	  offset = tSel.getOffset(); // etc.
  }
}


With info related to
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_add_Content_Assist_to_m y_language_editor%3F

But I'm just not finding any access to the JavaCompletionProcessor end of things, is it one of the few proprietary things and thus not accessible to external plugins?

It would seem odd that I would have to recreate the content assist results when Eclipse already "knows" everything I need to generate the tree view I want to create.


Is this more of what I need to be looking at?

http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_api_codeassist.htm

Though I saw your post elsewhere mentioning

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitDocume ntProvider.createFakeCompiltationUnit(*)

but can't fathom how I interact with a package that doesn't seem to exist for me, at least as far as Eclipse is concerned.

At this point I have an ArrayList I am gathering proposals in, I'm getting the offset in the focused text editor, but I need to actually generate the proposals. Confusing me more is that codeComplete() only takes in an offset and the completionRequestor reference but no reference to the text editor.
