Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 M10 (build 200706281431) Java: 1.6.0_02; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-b05 System: Linux version 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) What happened to the code hints for class constructors? Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a Java class editor 2. Type new <Class Name>( 3. Now hit <CTRL> + <Spacebar> For Example: new java.util.Hashtable(<CTRL> + <Spacebar> --OR-- 1. Open a Java class editor 2. Take any J2EE(<= 1.4, assuming the same for Java EE 5) local home object and type <Local Home Object>.create( 3. Now hit <CTRL> + <Spacebar> You will notice that the code completion hints for a class' constructors no longer appears. This feature was present in NB 5.5.1 and if memory serves me correct it has been present as far back as NB 3.5, but don't hold me to that. The code hints for completion still seem to work for methods available to an object-- type <object name>., then <CTRL> + <Spacebar>. I know I could just keep the javadocs handy to lookup whatever I needed, but after getting accustomed to using this feature I would prefer this nicety to remain available. I actually use this feature quite a bit.
This was changed in 6.0 to be consistent with code completion of regular methods. You have to invoke code completion (ctrl-space) before the opening brace '(', e.g. new java.util.Hashtable<ctrl>+<spacebar>
That works. Thanks for the rapid response!
