  • Method Details

    • apply

      void apply(IDocument document, char trigger, int offset)
      Applies the proposed completion to the given document. The insertion has been triggered by entering the given character at the given offset. This method assumes that isValidFor(IDocument, int) returns true if called for offset.
      Parameters:
      document - the document into which to insert the proposed completion
      trigger - the trigger to apply the completion
      offset - the offset at which the trigger has been activated
    • isValidFor

      boolean isValidFor(IDocument document, int offset)
      Returns whether this completion proposal is valid for the given position in the given document.
      Parameters:
      document - the document for which the proposal is tested
      offset - the offset for which the proposal is tested
      Returns:
      true iff valid
    • getTriggerCharacters

      char[] getTriggerCharacters()
      Returns the characters which trigger the application of this completion proposal.
      Returns:
      the completion characters for this completion proposal or null if no completion other than the new line character is possible
    • getContextInformationPosition

      int getContextInformationPosition()
      Returns the position to which the computed context information refers to or -1 if no context information can be provided by this completion proposal.
      Returns:
      the position to which the context information refers to or -1 for no information
