I've been using Notepad++ for awhile now in my introductory Java programming class, and so far, I really like it. Much better than the "Textpad" program I was using before.
However, I'm curious, the Java API file that comes with Notepad++ isn't really very detailed, as it lacks calltips and all lowercase words, but that last part might be intended/necessary, I'm not really sure.
So, with that in mind, has anyone found or made a more detailed Java API for the Notepad++ Autocomplete function? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you would share. I've done extensive searches on the forums and internet, but I haven't really found anything that would even come close to working.
If one doesn't exist though, its no problem. I'll always have Java's online API.

Anyway, honestly, I saw that response coming from a thousand light years away. And in response to your comment, I'd just like to point out I never asked anyone to create a more detailed Java API. I simply asked if a more detailed one existed. If one did exist, then it would be wasteful to create another one that serves the exact same purpose.
Secondly, as I pointed out, I'm extremely new to Java, and programming itself. I suspect I don't know all of the nuances of Java (or even programming in general) well enough to create a worthwhile API for the auto complete function, at least, not yet.
Finally, a little diplomacy goes a long way. Instead of phrasing your comment so its a subtle attack on me, as you did, it might have been better to do something like this...
"No, I don't believe a more detailed Java API exists. Though Notepad++ fully supports custom API's, so if you'd like you can try your hand at making your own API."
I admit, its a bit longer than your reply, but its also far less belligerent. And really, when isn't a little bit of courtesy worth the extra effort?
As I always say, never underestimate how far a smile and a kind word can get you. Though, the part about a smile isn't exactly relevant over the internet, but still...

Having a bad day, friend?

Why don't you work on it, instead of waiting for someone do things for you?
