Description Dan Lee CLA 2007-07-30 18:47:08 EDT 
Build ID:  I20070601-1539

Steps To Reproduce:
I am trying to implement content-assist functionality similar to that of the "Superclass" and "Package" text fields in the New Java Class Wizard. I assume that someday this will be implemented using the new(3.2) IContentProposalAdapter? (Right now, it appears that it is done by wrapping the internal JavaTypeCompletionProcessor).

When/If this code is moved to the IContentProposalAdapter mechanism , I would request that the proposal adapter itself be made public. Anybody who wants to create a "Choose Type" text-field will want this cool content-assist capability.

Dan, do you need this for 3.4?
Comment 2 Dan Lee CLA 2008-02-11 11:25:31 EST 
This is definitely a 'nice-to-have' as opposed to a 'need'. So, no, I don't need it for 3.4.

I would request that this bug stay open though. If you ever move to the IContentProposalAdapter, I would most certainly take advantage of it.

Thanks for the info.
