OK. Just some random things I was thinking about.
It would be nice if we could have syntax completion, method browsing,
etc. The only difference is that I want this to work with tags instead
of the current mechanism.
Why?
- tags are faster. No JVM involved.
- tags are explicit. You always know what it is searching on.
- tag regeneration is FAST.
there are some problems that I can see.
- The current mechanisms (find-tag) etc don't take into account the
current java package. Thus everything is treated like a global and the
first match hits (which may be the wrong package):(
- if you have ctags/etags with method names it can match on this. IE
getString could be a match for String.
- it should be possible, with a minor extension, to use the tag
information to display methods:
jde-find-tag-display-methods?... of course maybe for the current buffer
we should just parse it out.
- we need to use packages. tags are flat.
... anyway ...
