[jdt-ui-dev] Anonymous inner class creation...

["Scott Stanchfield" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed that if you use code completion in a call to super() in a
constructor, you're given in the option to create anonymous inner classes
that extend a supertype. This is very cool, and it would be really cool if
we could access this functionality in other places as well.

For example, I'd love to type

  ActionListener l = new ActionListener

followed by control-space and see

  ActionListener (anonymous inner class)

listed as an option. If selected, it should expand to

  ActionListener l = new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    }
  };

(In other words, stub abstract methods automatically.).

If I had time to work on this one, I'd tinker -- perhaps someone else knows
that functionality well?

TIA,
-- Scott
