Re: Eclipse - Method Parameter Info

[Sven Efftinge]

That information is currently only shown, when you have used content assist on the method before. But

not like in JDT when you come back later.

I've filed a ticket, for having that when coming back.

Thanks,

Hey,

i've started to use Xtend some days, and it is awesome! 

But i need some help, i'm using latest Xtend Release with Eclipse Juno on my MacBook.

And If I have a class with some functions which have the same Name, the Eclipse can't show me what other parameter this Function can have.

Example Java: 

class X{

 public function Y(){}

 public function Y(int i){}

 public function Y(int x, int y){}

}

And if try to use this class with Xtend I dont get any hints what other Parameters the function "Y" could use... its kinda slowing me down with the xtend fun :)

Are there no parameter hints oder am I just using the wrong shortcuts?

Best Regards,

Eugen

I dont even get the Hint-Window on first time, what Key-Binding is it, which should activate this Window?

[Sven Efftinge]

It's shown after you've applied the content assist for 'foo'.

[Eugen]

Hm cant get it work.

Just curious:

In the Java-Editor I can use Ctrl+Space , and the proposal Window lists all Overloads with

Foo()

Foo(int x)

Foo(int x, int y) and so on..

On Xtend-Editor I get a lot of other Proposals but none of the above .

Tried also the Eclipse 4.3 M3 with Latest Version of Xtend (Bleeding Edge).

Also no Parameters gets listed.

The only Feature that can help me to view all Possible Parameters is F4 (View Type Hierarchy), any other better Solution for this? :)

Thanks in Advance

[Sven Efftinge]

Just to make sure, we don't missunderstand.
given a variable of a type with overloaded foo called 'myVar'.

1) you write : myVar.foo
2) press ctrl+space
3) choose one of the proposed foo methods (All should be proposed)
4) you get the hover like in the screenshot I posted before.

No?

What windowing system do you use? which eclipse version?
Please file a bugzilla.

Yes, this works right :) 

My Bug is only when coming back, but you've already created the bug at bugzilla.
