Re: [jdt-dev] Missing "local" proposals in content assist in 2021-06
|
Gunnar,
see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=574913 for current (4.21) state of Java content assist, and if you see other regressions not linked there, feel free to add to the list.
As you may know, there are no maintenance releases anymore, so bugs that aren't found during pre-release testing have to wait till next release.
As usually, different bugs have different priorities for different users, so creating an advisory for every possible regression is not possible (or nothing I personally would see as useful).
The only possible way to avoid that in the future is to increase test coverage (in any way you like), because bugs will be always there with software.
So for example, we (Advantest) run our product tests with the latest nightly SDK build every week and I personally try to use every nightly build as my main IDE I'm working with.
I'm not saying that you should do exact that, but if every company interested in Eclipse IDE quality would run such tests, that would help to increase overall SDK test coverage.
Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

Given how critical Content Assist is for a Java IDE, shouldn't there be some announcement/advisory to recommend upgrading to a later build? I'm concerned that people will download this version and/or upgrade and (rightfully) complain about such an essential feature being broken.
