Description Mickael Istria CLA 2015-11-30 10:01:11 EST 
Assuming for example a piece of code "@Override public void comp", it would be nice to have the completion proposing to complete with the signature of method compareTo.

Why bother to type all that if you can have the proposal just by saying

   comp<ctrl-space>

?

Mainly because as a regular user, I do not really know when and how the completion works , I discover where it works "on the stream" while I'm writing some code where I expect completion to work. In most cases, I know that I do want the @Override and know the return type, and want the completion after I typed that, mainly to get the parameters. So despite this completion is actually useful, it seems also necessary to cover the case when the declaration is partially written.
