Description Tom Hofmann CLA 2005-12-14 11:03:49 EST 
I20051214-0010

Consider the CU below and invoke code assist behind the opening parentheses of the method and the constructor call, respectively:

======== Try.java ========
package pr120542;

public class Try {
    void m() {
    	wait(
        new String(
    }
}
==========================

- The completion proposals received for the 'wait' method all have an empty completion, while the proposals for the 'String' ctor all have a completion consisting of a single closing parenthesis: ")".

This seems inconsistent to me and causes bug 120542.

What's the ETA for this? Is this planned for 3.2?
Comment 2 David Audel CLA 2006-03-22 08:58:10 EST 
I prepare a fix to always propose an empty completion string.
Comment 3 David Audel CLA 2006-03-22 09:47:32 EST 
Fixed.

Single parenthesis aren't proposed anymore, an empty completion is proposed instead.
