#72 Codecompletion for Constructor

[Dominik Ertl]

Codecompletion for constructors works in Java as follows - we should add it to emonic in the same way:

1) Trigger on "new" keyword
If "new" is written (e.g. ArrayList arr = new ) and one presses STRG+SPACE, the type ArrayList (for this example) is automatically added within the same line.

2) Trigger on "()"
Now we have "ArrayList arr = new ArrayList" One adds a "(" which automatically leads to "()" (works in emonic!). Within the parenthesis one uses STRG+SPACE to get all the constructors and inner classes of this type.

Any ideas?

1) sounds very good. But could be quite hard to implement since You have to know all possible classes for which You want to offer a constructor (including the inherited and the classes implementing the interface). In the current state of the CodeElement-Tree we don't have this info.....
