Hello,
What kind of support does Semantic have for "system include paths" in
Java?
In Java, there are two ways to obtain classes and symbols:
1. From source files, which Semantic should be able to do on its own,
provided it knows where to look for them.
2. From compiled `.class' files, which needs help from external Java
tools.
My understanding is that, at best, Semantic can only do (1) while JDEE
can only do (2). This means that using `semantic-add-system-include' to
point to `.jar' or `.class' files will not have any effect. Likewise,
Semantic's tools such as smart completion will not work with
symbols/classes coming from compiled Java code, while JDEE's own
completion system may have limitations of its own (e.g., no idle
completion).
My feeling is that there's a gap to be bridged between both tools. It
would be nice if Semantic were able to handle (2), so that we'd have a
uniform handling of Java symbol/class lookup. Technically, that would
mean bringing some Elisp/Java support code from JDEE to Semantic, which
may be a fair amount of work (I'm not sufficiently familiar with the two
projects to have a clear idea, though).
What do you think?
Thanks,
Ludo'.
