Description Markus Keller CLA 2005-03-30 12:20:58 EST 
I20050330-0500

public class Try {
    @Tag(/*ContentAssist*/)
    void n() {}
}

@interface Tag {
    String name() default "name";
    String value();
}

- execute content assist where indicated above
-> expected: proposal 'value' inserts 'value='
-> was: inserts just 'value'

BTW: content assist after 'value=' does currently not work (bug 89602).

Comment 4 Tom Hofmann CLA 2005-05-31 07:18:03 EDT 
We don't get any proposals for an empty prefix, currently (consistent with code
assist behavior in other situations). However, '=' should be included in the
trigger chars for the annotation element reference, which would be an easy fix.

Low priority for 3.1.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2005-05-31 07:31:08 EDT 
not for 3.1
Comment 6 Victor Homyakov CLA 2012-03-05 06:25:48 EST 
Bump. Still present in 3.7 - will anybody finally fix it? In my everyday work after most of annotation properties I should manually type ="" (equal sign and double quotes for string value).

We won't work on this bug but accept a high quality patch.
