Code Completion does not have obvious option to disable 'features': o Parameter guessing Code completion (see: http://wiki.netbeans.org/Java_EditorUsersGuide#section-Java_EditorUsersGuide-HowToUseCodeCompletion for description) o Code completion ending character (see: http://wiki.netbeans.org/Java_EditorUsersGuide#section-Java_EditorUsersGuide-HowToUseCodeCompletion for description) o Javadoc completion While each of these features sounds nice, in reality, many users are required to actually preform MORE work due to their functionality. Parameter guessing is often incorrect (even if it was correct much of the time, it should still be an option); ending characters are not helpful in many cases. Javadoc completion is not always desired. The Netbeans 5.5 code-completion feature-set is preferable to many users; it is necessary to allow users to deactivate undesired functionality. 'Smarter' is not always smarter.
Thanks for a nice enhancement, we will consider this. Note that there are some options under Tools|Options|Editor|General|Code Completion (Guess Filled Method Arguments, etc.).
As of Netbeans 6.0, 6.0.1 (6.1 beta also); the described options under "Tools|Options|Editor|General|Code Completion" are not a complete list of all code-completion options; there currently is no option for "Guess Filled Method Arguments" (as described by msauer); however, this would be the ideal place to capture the options.
"Guess Filled Method Arguments" was added after Nb 6.1 beta, please check dev builds.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200810310201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/0fb6bb829f57 User: Dusan Balek <dbalek@netbeans.org> Log: Couple of code completion options added as requested by issues #74724, #131037, and #140695.
All the requested options has been implemented.
