Hello,

I am a college student working at an internship over the summer. I am developing a plugin for Eclipse 3.4 that should improve the functionality of the content assist feature, and error correction. I have found which packages are relevant to content assist, namely the jface.text.contentassist package, ui.fieldassist, and the jdt.core package, and now I'm looking for ways to extend them. However, there is no defined extension point for any of these packages in the list of extension points given with the program. I tried creating my own extension points, but I cannot figure out how to get them to be useful. There are many tutorials out there to help make editors, which often involve content assist, but they all go about it the same way. I worked with the editors, and made my own, but when I got to the ContentAssistProcessor, no tutorial anywhere seemed to adequately explain it. Preferably, I'd like to use the ContentAssistProcessor that the Java editor uses, but I don't know how to access it.

If you could assist me in either finding a way to change the way the standard java editor's content assist feature works, or how to make a custom java editor with my own content assist, I would be endlessly grateful. If there's anything else you need to know to better understand my issue, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Hi, mmootygam

There is a SourceViewerConfiguration in Editor, if you need to implement any function, just implement the interface inside. For example, u want implement the content assist, got to write the IContentAssistant getContentAssistant（）, that will be alright!
