Description _ tboudreau 2005-08-20 22:30:29 UTC
Typically when I decide I want to use code completion to override something, I have already typed part 
of the method signature, but not all of it - I have realized I will need to look up the exact signature, and 
so code completion will be easier since it will do it right.

So, I have typed

public void val[CTRL-ENTER]

in my class, there is a method validateTree() I will override.  I select it and press enter and get:

    public void protected void validateTree() {

Could it detect the rest of the signature on the line and do something more intelligent?

I'm not sure whether we will be able to resolve this with the current expression
parser that we have. Marking for future preliminarily.

Reassigning to Honza.
Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2007-06-25 12:35:42 UTC
Reassigning back to Dusan - he took responsibility of this part of code, AFAIK. Currently, no overrides are proposed in
this context, which seems fine to me.

Later.
