My understanding of tab-completion in IDEs for Java, etc. is that it just displayed every single possible class method for a particular object value, and then did some kind of matching based upon what you typed to narrow down the list, not that it was type-based.
With Eclipse, try something like (within some method) String s = "foo"; s. (stop after the dot) and you see only methods of String (and Object). To me, that seems very much "type-based".
Well, yes, it is every single possible class method for a String object. However, if you tried to do "s.equalsIgnoreCase(", does it offer to insert every single String available and every function that could result in a String? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
