The JDE has an autocompletion command for completing fields and methods of
classes. In the current release, the command cycles through the possible
completions in the minibuffer. In the next release (due in a week), it will
pop up a menu with the completions. The completion package is a work in
progress and currently has the following limitations:
- Completes only objects whose type is specified in the current buffer.
Thus, it will complete z in the following example
void m1() {
String z = "hi";
z.get...
}
but not z in the following case
// file A.java
public class A {String z;}
// file B.java
public class B extends A {
void m1() {
z.get....
}
}
- Does not complete static fields.
- Does not complete method arguments, e.g., it won't complete arg1
in the following example,
public void m1(String arg1) {
arg1.get....
}
These shortcomings will be addressed very soon.
