Auto-correction similar Netbeans? [message #756247]

Hi,

several questions getting started with Eclipse:

1.) If I use netbeans and write:

String name;
if (name == "membersound") {
}

I'll be getting a hint: "use equals() and reverse operands", beeing able to auto transform it to equals statement.

How can I achieve similar behaviour in eclipse?

2.) Further, using JBoss Tools Palette:
How can I tell eclipse to use closing tags within a statement, eg:

<h:outputText value=""/>

instead of

<h:outputText value=""></h:outputText>

?
If I manually write the tags everything's fine. But using the JBoss Tools Palette Trag+Drop elements, they always include these needless closing tags </h:...>

3.) Again JBoss Tools: how can I use code assistant with EL Expression? For h:, f: tags etc everything works finde, but value="#{}" and pressing ctrl-space results in a blank assistant field, even though having a @ManagedBean declared.
(if I would add my class to managedbean in faces-config, code completion with EL Expression works as expected! but I do want to use annotations, why is completion not working with that?)
/update: I found out that managed beans in xhtml pages are only recognized if they are named. so if I write @ManagedBean(name = "customerBean") it works with content assistent code completion. HOWEVER there is no check performed for the EL Expressions beeing valid. I might aswell write #{customerBean.age} and eclipse does not complain that .age does not exist.

Thanks alot

Place caret on == and press Ctrl+1, you should get a 'Quick Fix/Assist'
popup and the proposal to convert to equals should be there.

Unfortunatelly there only is getting a popup with:

Exchange left and right operands for infix expression
Extract to local variable
Put '==' expression in parentheses

No equals correction assistent!

Is there some kind of "rule" I could have to enable/could have disabled?

Doh, sorry.. I thought it was there..

However, there is a bug opened for it
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37643. I will take a look
at this.

You can exchange operands of == or equals() by using one of
- Exchange left and right operands for infix expression
- Invert equals
