Description Jaroslav Tulach 2010-08-20 08:26:50 UTC

While working on bug 189558 I realized that it is not easy to provide Completion items from my AnnotationProcessor. The best I could achieve is at
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/b6bc25bce72e

I want more: 

I am returning localized message for some reason, so it could be displayed somewhere.

I want to provide hints while the cursor is at "Shortcuts/|".

I want to position the cursor after the completion is made (I guess this is not part of the standard API, but when someone chooses "Menu/" the cursor shall be at "Menu/|", otherwise this forms horrible user experience).

I am surprised the that when I return Completions.of("Menu/"), the inserted text is surrounded by "! It works for me right now, but will that work for inserting other values than strings?

Fixed in jet-main.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-08-25 14:27:35 UTC

I am afraid the problem is not fixed yet:

- the Completion.getText() is not placed immediately after =
- my processor's getCompletions is really slow (8s in my case) which triggers the slowness detector. We need a way (like setting different text instead of Please wait...) to prevent that.

Let's wait for changes in 189558 to propagate to jet-main and test it on my real processor. I am also CCing Geertjan to help us achieve consistency of our support with the one in InteliJ.
