Subwords Completion Engine
Sometimes you just don't know the complete name of a method - or entering its full name from the first character? Subwords is here to assist.
It supports code completion on method names:
and completion on variable names:
and completion on method overrides:
Subwords has been developed by Paul-Emmanuel Faidherbe and contributed to Eclipse Code Recommenders. Thank you Paul-Emmanuel!
Subwords currently has some limitations:
- It doesn't support dynamic reranking of proposals with better/larger overlaps.
- It only works in the scenarios shown above. Typename completions are yet not possible.
You may find more limitations as you go. Please send your feature requests and bugs to Bugzilla. A thread discussing this contribution is here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350000
ExtDoc - Extended Documentation Platform
Traditionally, Javadoc is the first place to go if you want to have details regarding API usage. However, Javadoc's quality much depends on the author and therefore often lacks important information. Usually it only informs about arguments and returned information, but seldom puts it into perspective, e.g. its role in the whole framework/library.
The following screenshots indicate how ExtDoc tries to solve this problems. It uses several types of automatically inferred information - displayed by so-called "content providers" - and community features to enrich Eclipse's Java documentation. Furthermore, ExtDoc provides a framework for external contributors to implement own documentation providers.
