RE: [jdt-core-dev] RE: [dali-dev] Annotation editing in Eclipse
|
This is more of a UI observation but I've always thought that the annotation lines (@whatever) should be hidden in the Java editor. Colors, hover-help, folding, icons, outline, etc. could give the developer a clue that something special is there. But in a heavily annotated source file all the @ lines just make it look cluttered and get in the way of the plain old Java code. Core support would be a prerequisite for UI support.

I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to investigate an API for annotating members on an IJavaElement level. Right now Dali created a lot of code to cover the AST manipulation behind a model. It's definitly worthwhile to share this at a lower level.
