[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Code Completion: include require

["Rik" <nomail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I said "low priority".
Whatever the case, is an error to have have the overall project in the code 
completion because it says: "Hey, you can use this and this" while is not 
true, is out of scope. In other words, "code completion" should be named 
"code I-Feel-Lucky"! :-)
When one try to use PDT to make big projects, the code completion showing 
the overall project, everywhere, make it useless to have.

Maybe include/require are not sufficient. Maybe can be decided by an option. 
Maybe there are other solution. In any case this is a big problem for big 
projects.

We are in year 2008, almost 2009. A good code completion is the basis of an 
editor of choice and today good editors make the difference from how many 
develop in one language and how many in another. Is not only a choice based 
on the mere language.
So, it is importat to take care, very much, of the code completion feature, 
sooner or later.
