[Pydev-code] Has the analyze only open editors setting ever had a meaning?

[Andreas P. <an...@fr...>]

Hi,

I recently stumbled about the 'Builder' page and its 'Analyze only open 
editors' setting. It sounded like disabling this would help one of our 
customers who wanted to get completion for functions in modules that are not 
yet imported. Unfortunately it turns out this preference is not being used 
anywhere in the codebase and looking at the existing pydev tags has never 
been used.

I'm wondering wether I'm missing something or wether this has really been 
added (to the ui) and then never used (by the builder)?

On a related note: Is there a way to get pydev to create completions for 
functions/classes in files that haven't been opened yet (after starting 
eclipse)? (i.e. where do I have to look into the codebase to find the 
starting point)

Andreas
