you mean when content assist pops up, the first proposal would be „Wanna enable/configure code recommenders?“ Would be a nice popup-in-a-popup - Doug probably could not complain much about it ;-) I’d be fine with this.
Marcel
Can you offer "Enable Code Recommenders" code assist as default
behaviour? and possibly provide a way to remove this default code assist
to be extra nice to people who don't want code recommenders.

I’ve mixed feelings on enabling recommenders by default.
There are many discussions about performance these days and I know that
Code Recommenders can cause a recognizable delay when loading a model
the first time ( <100ms but recognizable). With our latest approaches we
may be able to further reduce this but it will certainly not get much
faster than 40ms avg. So whenever you trigger code completion the first
time on, say, java.lang.String, it will take 40ms to load the model into
the cache. I’ve the feeling that this should be a decision a developer
explicitly makes.
Regarding integrating Mylyn:
Should be simple. We could get together for an afternoon and should be
done. I’d offer to maintain the small extension.

I had the same thought. If you want users to benefit make it the
default. We should chat if it makes sense to add task-focus to the
code recommenders content assist. It just another way to proposals so
an integration API could be fairly simple and users wouldn't have to
make a choice but get the best of both worlds (if that scenario makes
sense).

Yeah, no popups. We should be banning pop-ups across the board.
They¹re
super annoying. It would be hard to find a UX expert who would
disagree
except for the most critical of messages (like workspace out of
memory).
Personally, I¹d like to see a better Welcome page that becomes
part of the
users workflow. It would be a great place to bring things like
that to the
attention of users.
I guess the other side of that question, why not turn code
recommenders on
all the time?
Doug.
