Vararg ellipsis (...) triggers CodeAssist Auto-Activation. E.g. when writing:

    public static void main(String...

CodeAssist automatically opens the proposals list when Auto-Activation is
enabled. Interestingly, the popup is only opened after the third dot.

I might flag this as at least severity normal.  It gets in the way of normal typing:

public static void main(String...

If I now just hit space, I get 

public static void main(String...strings
                                        ^ extra space

If strings wasn't the parameter name I wanted, or if I wanted to format the
signature as main(String... strings), I now have to back up and edit.  I think
that preventing normal typing is a fairly big annoyance factor.

Except for being partition type aware triggering is currently based on the
auto-activation keys.

Are we going to target this for RC2?  It's still in RC1, and it feels very
unpolished.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2005-05-30 11:22:10 EDT 
Time permitting for RC2.
Comment 6 Dani Megert CLA 2005-06-08 04:23:57 EDT 
Deferred.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
