Cannot add space after abbrev keyword in comment

2003-10-23 Thread Maurice . Nicholson
Hi,

with the latest JDEE beta I cannot type a space after abbrev keywords 
("if", "for", "while", ...) in a comment, eg, I have:

/**
 * Return the history for--|--

with cursor at "--|--" I try to type a space but nothing happens! The same 
is true for // comments.

Sorry this is just a bug report - I can't contribute any lisp fix!

Thanks,
Maurice

Hi,

I think I'll use #1 for now (C-q  - but I knew what you meant) and 
look at tmmofl later.

BTW, this problem also happens in strings.

Thanks,
Maurice

I have experienced this as well.  As for as workarounds go,

1. Typing M-q  will bypass abbreviations and give you a space.

2. I don't have this problem any more because I use Phillip Lord's
tmmofl package (http://www.russet.org.uk/emacs.html).  tmmofl changes
minor mode based on the current font lock, so that for example,
you can set it so that in comments you have auto-fill but no
abbrev, but everywhere else you have abbrev but not auto-fill.
It's quite convenient.

Cheers,

Charles

unusual symbol lookup feature

2003-10-24 Thread Maurice . Nicholson
Hi,

I find C-c C-v C-y excellent and find myself using it more and more, but 
occasionally have this odd behavoir:

Point is in class "A" like so:

public class A {

...
new X().--|--someMethod()

...
}

and I hit C-c C-v C-y. I get the dialog:

===
Which class?

(*) java.lang.Object
( ) org.omg.CORBA.Object
( ) com.inprise.vbroker.CORBA.Object
( ) org.omg.CORBA.Object

[Ok]  [Cancel]
===

At the same time JDE loads class "X" in the other window. If I select "Ok" 
or "Cancel" we stop there and the cursor rests at:

public class X--|-- extends Y { ...

Actually class "Y", which as you can see is the super of "X", implements 
the method. And if I then go back to the original point and redo C-c C-v 
C-y the screen splits and in one I have class X (again!) and in the other 
class Y with point correctly placed after the method name.

IMHO class X is a red herring and should not be loaded at all!

Also, I can repeat this double-attempt sequence over and over with the 
same result, so JDE apparently does not "learn" where the method is 
defined.

Does anybody else also have this?


Thanks,
Maurice
