This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In Netbeans the only way for instance to override a method is to use the "generate override methods" wizard. It will be nice to have the completion directly from the editor. Example, If I type : @Override toStr and use the Ctl+ space in order to have autocompletion, I would expect that the IDE suggest the toString() method. @Override public void toSt and use the Ctl + space should work to. best regards.

Comment on attachment 136545 [details] IDE log The log from my IDE is not relevant here and should not appear. I was pretty sure I had unchecked the box asking me to attach the IDE log.
Created attachment 137262 [details] Works for me in 7.4
Works for me. Type "toS" and code complete. NB will provide an CC item which will generate toString(). See screenshot https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=137262
Indeed with typing "toSt" it works. But if I type : public String toSt it does not work. At first sight, it can appear stupid to type so much if you can avoid it, but sometimes you began to type this and you say to yourself : «Am I overriding a method of my superclass ?» and then you hit ctl+space. IMHO, I will find it usefull and natural. regards.
