<br>Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_846
(<a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jdt.core/?only_with_tag=v_846">cvs</a>).
<h2>What's new in this drop</h2>
<ul>
<li>The batch compiler now uses the <code>Class-Path</code> clause of jar files 
    manifests to complete the classpath. For jar files that are specified on a
    <code>-classpath</code> option, the compiler follows <code>Class-Path</code>
    clauses recursively and appends each referenced jar file to the end of the 
    classpath, provided it is not on the classpath yet. See bug
    <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=97332">97332</a> for
    further details.</li>
<li>Added APIs to call the batch compiler from a stand-alone application:
	 <code>BatchCompiler#compiler(String, PrintWriter, PrintWriter, CompilationProgress)</code> and
	 <code>BatchCompiler#compiler(String[], PrintWriter, PrintWriter, CompilationProgress)</code>.
	 See <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217233">217233</a> for more details.</li>
<li>All search reference matches may now have a local element. Clients can access
this local element using the <code>getLocalElement()</code> method on the new
<code>ReferenceMatch</code> API class:<pre>

/**
 * An abstract Java search match that represents a reference.
 *
 * This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
 *
 * @since 3.4
 */
public abstract class ReferenceMatch extends SearchMatch {
...
/**
 * Returns the local element of this search match, or <code>null</code> if none.
 * A local element is the inner most element that contains the reference and that is not
 * reachable by navigating from the root of the {@link IJavaModel} using 
 * {@link IParent#getChildren()}.
 *
 * Known element types for local elements are {@link IJavaElement#ANNOTATION}, 
 * {@link IJavaElement#LOCAL_VARIABLE} and {@link IJavaElement#TYPE_PARAMETER}.
 * However clients should not assume that this set of element types is closed as
 * other types of elements may be returned in the future, e.g. if new types
 * of elements are added in the Java model. Clients can only assume that the
 * {@link IJavaElement#getParent() parent} chain of this local element eventually leads 
 * to the element from {@link #getElement()}.
 *
 * The local element being an {@link IAnnotation} is the most usal case. For example,
 *
 *    . searching for the references to the method <code>Annot.clazz()</code> in
 * 
 *             public class Test {
 *                 void method() {
 *                     &#0064;Annot(clazz=Test.class) int x;
 *                 }
 *             }
 * 
 *      will return one {@link MethodReferenceMatch} match whose local element
 *      is the {@link IAnnotation} '<code>Annot</code>'.
 *
 *    . searching for the references to the type <code>Deprecated</code> in
 * 
 *             public class Test {
 *                &#0064;Deprecated void method() {}
 *             }
 * 
 *      will return one {@link TypeReferenceMatch} match whose local element
 *      is the {@link IAnnotation} '<code>Deprecated</code>'.
 *
 *    . searching for the references to the field <code>CONST</code> in
 * 
 *              &#0064;Num(number= Num.CONST)
 *              &#0064;interface Num {
 *                  public static final int CONST= 42;
 *                  int number();
 *              }
 * 
 *      will return one {@link FieldReferenceMatch} match whose local element
 *      is the {@link IAnnotation} '<code>Num</code>'.
 *
 * A local element may also be a {@link ILocalVariable} whose type is the referenced type. For example,
 *
 *    . searching for the references to the type <code>Test</code> in
 * 
 *         public class Test {
 *             void foo() {
 *                Test local;
 *             }
 *         }
 * 
 *      will return one {@link TypeReferenceMatch} match whose local element
 *      is the {@link ILocalVariable} '<code>local</code>'.
 *
 * Or a local element may be an {@link ITypeParameter} that extends the referenced type. For example,
 *
 *    . searching for the references to the type <code>Test</code> in 
 * 
 *         public class X< T extends Test> {
 *         }
 * 
 *      will return one {@link TypeReferenceMatch} match whose local element
 *      is the {@link ITypeParameter} '<code>T</code>'.
 * 
 * @return the local element of this search match, or <code>null</code> if none.
 * 
 * @since 3.4

<ul>
<li>New API added on ICompilationUnit to apply text edits to its buffer. 
<pre>
public interface ICompilationUnit {
	...
	
   /**
    * Applies a text edit to the compilation unit's buffer. 
    * 
    * @param edit the edit to apply
    * @param monitor the progress monitor to use or <code>null</code> if
    *                no progress should be reported
    * @return the undo edit 
    * @throws JavaModelException if this edit can not be applied to the
    *                            compilation unit's buffer. Reasons include:
    * This compilation unit does not exist
    * ({@link IJavaModelStatusConstants#ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST}).
    * The provided edit can not be applied as there is a problem with the
    * text edit locations ({@link IJavaModelStatusConstants#BAD_TEXT_EDIT_LOCATION}).
    * 
    * @since 3.4
    */
    public UndoEdit applyTextEdit(TextEdit edit, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws JavaModelException;

</pre>
Implementors of IBuffer can now additionally implement <code>IBuffer.ITextEditCapability</code>
and provide the implementation for <code>applyTextEdit</code>. Calls to <code>ICompilationUnit.applyTextEdit</code>
will then be forwarded to this API.
</li>
<li>Compiler is now also able to recover missing parameterized types (e.g. <code>Zork&lt;String&gt;</code>).</li>

and all JDT stack manipulating DOM AST and bindings. Annotation processors are also now able to see such missing types
(also see bug <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196200">196200</a>). Note that with current support,

<li>Tuned the compiler diagnosis for unused <code>@SuppressWarnings</code> to only complain if the relevant warnings were effectively

<li>Added API <code>IMemberValuePair#K_SIMPLE_NAME</code> to indicate that the value kind of the value is a simple name reference.</li>

to get rid of <code>@SupressWarnings(...)</code> annotations which were necessary a while ago, but are no longer useful.

as it is the master switch to silence ALL warnings.
Also added option: <code>JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_UNUSED_WARNING_TOKEN</code> and problem ID
<code>IProblem.UnusedWarningToken</code>.

<li>Code Assist: Added API <code>CompletionRequestor#CompletionRequestor(boolean ignoreAll)</code> to be able to ignore all completion kinds by default instead of propose all completion kinds by default.
</li>
<li>Code Assist: Improved code assist inside an <code>if</code> statement with an <code>instanceof</code> expression as condition.<br>
When a member access is completed in this case then the members of the <code>instanceof</code> type are proposed and the receiver is casted to this type.
<pre>
Object x = ... ;
if (x instanceof IType) {
   x.get|code assist
</pre>
The method <code>IType#getFullyQualifiedName()</code> will be proposed and the receiver will be casted to <code>IType</code>.
The completion string will be '((IType)x).getFullyQualifiedName()'.<br>
<br>
These proposals will be proposed with the new proposal kinds <code>CompletionProposal#METHOD_REF_WITH_CASTED_RECEIVER</code> and
<code>CompletionProposal#FIELD_REF_WITH_CASTED_RECEIVER</code>.<br>
These new proposals require new API on CompletionProposal to be usable by client.

<h2>What's new in this drop</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added new compiler optional warning for diagnosing generic invocations of non-generic methods. Basically, from Java7 compliance on, a non-generic method
may be invoked with explicit type arguments syntax, which though unused are to be silently ignored. With this warning, the compiler will still flag such situations.
The warning is on by default, and is suppressable with <code>@SuppressWarnings("unused")</code>.
Also added option: <code>JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_UNUSED_TYPE_ARGUMENTS_FOR_METHOD_INVOCATION</code> and problem ID
<code>IProblem.UnusedTypeArgumentsForMethodInvocation</code>.
<pre>
* COMPILER / Reporting Presence of Type Arguments for a Non-Generic Method Invocation
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever type arguments are encountered for a
*    non-generic method invocation. Note that prior to compliance level is "1.7", this situation would automatically result
*    in an error. From Java7 on, unused type arguments are being tolerated, and optionally warned against.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedTypeArgumentsForMethodInvocation"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }

<li>Added an option that allows @throws javadoc entries to defuse the unused
    declared thrown exception check. 
<pre>
COMPILER / Consider Reference in Doc Comment for Unused Declared Thrown Exception Check
   When enabled, the compiler will consider doc comment references to exceptions 
   (i.e. @throws clauses) for the unused declared thrown exception check. Thus, 
   documented exceptions will be considered as mandated as per doc contract.
   The severity of the unused declared thrown exception problem is controlled 
   with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedDeclaredThrownException".
   Note: this option has no effect until the doc comment support is enabled 
   according to the option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.doc.comment.support".
    - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedDeclaredThrownExceptionIncludeDocReference"

<li>Prefix matching can be disabled while using Camel Case API methods. (see 
<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124624">bug 124624</a>).<br>
Following API methods have been added on <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.CharOperation</code>:
<pre>
/**
 * Answers true if the pattern matches the given name using CamelCase rules, or
 * false otherwise. char[] CamelCase matching does NOT accept explicit wild-cards
 * '*' and '?' and is inherently case sensitive.
 *
 * CamelCase denotes the convention of writing compound names without spaces,
 * and capitalizing every term. This function recognizes both upper and lower
 * CamelCase, depending whether the leading character is capitalized or not.
 * The leading part of an upper CamelCase pattern is assumed to contain a
 * sequence of capitals which are appearing in the matching name; e.g. 'NPE' will
 * match 'NullPointerException', but not 'NewPerfData'. A lower CamelCase pattern
 * uses a lowercase first character. In Java, type names follow the upper
 * CamelCase convention, whereas method or field names follow the lower
 * CamelCase convention.
 *
 * The pattern may contain lowercase characters, which will be match in a case
 * sensitive way. These characters must appear in sequence in the name.
 * For instance, 'NPExcep' will match 'NullPointerException', but not
 * 'NullPointerExCEPTION' or 'NuPoEx' will match 'NullPointerException', but not
 * 'NoPointerException'.
 *
 * Digit characters are treated in a special way. They can be used in the pattern
 * but are not always considered as leading character. For instance, both
 * 'UTF16DSS' and 'UTFDSS' patterns will match 'UTF16DocumentScannerSupport'.
 *
 * CamelCase may or may not match prefixes depending on the given parameter.
 * When the prefix match parameter is <code>true</code>, the given pattern can
 * match only a prefix of the given name. For instance, 'HM' , 'HaMa' and  'HMap'
 * patterns will all match 'HashMap', 'HatMapper' <b>and</b> 'HashMapEntry'.
 * Reversely, if the prefix match parameter is <code>false</code>, then pattern
 * and name must have <b>exactly</b> the same number of parts, and their last
 * parts must be identical if they contain lowercase characters.
 * For instance, 'HMap' and 'HaMap' patterns will match 'HashMap' but neither
 * 'HashMapEntry' nor 'HatMapper'. Note that when the last part does not contain
 * lowercase characters, then the name may end with lowercase characters.
 * So, 'HM' pattern will match both 'HashMap' <b>and</b> 'HatMapper' but will not
 * match 'HashMapEntry'.
 *
 * Examples:
 *  1.	pattern = { 'N', 'P', 'E' }
 *  	name = { 'N', 'u','l', 'l', 'P', 'o', 'i', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r', 'E', 'x', 'c', 'e', 'p', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n' }
 *  	result => true
 *  2.	pattern = { 'N', 'P', 'E' }
 *  	name = { 'N', 'o', 'P', 'e', 'r', 'm', 'i', 's', 's', 'i', 'o', 'n', 'E', 'x', 'c', 'e', 'p', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n' }
 *  	result => true
 *  3.	pattern = { 'N', 'u', 'P', 'o', 'E', 'x' }
 *  	name = { 'N', 'u','l', 'l', 'P', 'o', 'i', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r', 'E', 'x', 'c', 'e', 'p', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n' }
 *  	result => true
 *  4.	pattern = { 'N', 'u', 'P', 'o', 'E', 'x' }

 *  	result => false
 *  5.	pattern = { 'n', p', 'e' }
 *  	name = { 'N', 'u','l', 'l', 'P', 'o', 'i', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r', 'E', 'x', 'c', 'e', 'p', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n' }
 *  	result => false
 *  6.	pattern = { 'I', 'P', 'L', '3' }
 *  	name = { 'I', 'P', 'e', 'r', 's', 'p', 'e', 'c', 't', 'i', 'v', 'e', 'L', 'i', 's', 't', 'e', 'n', 'e', 'r', '3' }
 *  	result => true
 *  7.	pattern = { 'H', M' }
 *  	name = { 'H', 'a', 's', 'h', 'M', 'a', 'p', 'E', 'n', 't', 'r', 'y' }
 *  	result => (prefixMatch == true)

 * CamelCase may or may not match prefixes depending on the given parameter.
 * When the prefix match parameter is <code>true</code>, the given pattern can
 * match only a prefix of the given name. For instance, 'HM' , 'HaMa' and  'HMap'
 * patterns will all match 'HashMap', 'HatMapper' <b>and</b> 'HashMapEntry'.
 * Reversely, if the prefix match parameter is <code>false</code>, then pattern
 * and name must have <b>exactly</b> the same number of parts, and their last
 * parts must be identical if they contain lowercase characters.
 * For instance, 'HMap' and 'HaMap' patterns will match 'HashMap' but neither
 * 'HashMapEntry' nor 'HatMapper'. Note that when the last part does not contain
 * lowercase characters, then the name may end with lowercase characters.
 * So, 'HM' pattern will match both 'HashMap' <b>and</b> 'HatMapper' but will not
 * match 'HashMapEntry'.

</pre>
Note that same methods have been added on <code>SearchPattern</code> but with
<code>String</code> parameters instead of <code>char[]</code> ones (javadoc comments
are identical):
<pre>
public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(String pattern, String name, boolean prefixMatch) {
...
}
public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(String pattern, int patternStart, int patternEnd, String name, int nameStart, int nameEnd, boolean prefixMatch) {
...
}
</pre>
Note also that methods <code>camelCaseMatch(String, int, int, String, int, int)</code>
of <code>CharOperation</code> and <code>SearchPattern</code> classes have been
deprecated to avoid too many 'camelCaseMatch*' methods on these classes.
</li>
<li>Search Engine has been modified to better handle additional <code>SearchPattern</code>
constants while using Camel Case one (see <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200400">bug 200400</a>).<br>
Existing <code>SearchPattern#R_CAMELCASE_MATCH</code> constant has been deprecated and<br>
is <b>now replaced by <code>SearchPattern#R_CAMEL_CASE_MATCH</code></b>:<pre>
	/**
	 * Match rule: The search pattern contains a Camel Case expression with
	 * a strict number of parts and preventing automatic prefix matching for the last
	 * part (if it consists of multiple letters).
	 * 
	 * Examples:
	 * 	. 'HM' type string pattern will match 'HashMap' and 'HtmlMapper' types,
	 * 		but not 'HashMapEntry'
	 * 	. 'HMap' type string pattern will match 'HashMap' type but not 'HtmlMapper'.
	 *
	 * This Camel Case match rule does not allow prefix match but accept insensitive
	 * case. For instance, 'HashMap' or 'HASHMAP' patterns using this Camel Case
	 * rule will match both 'HashMap' but not 'HashMapEntry'.
	 *
	 * This rule still can be combined to prefix match to accept prefix matches
	 * ('HashMap' pattern matching 'HashMapEntry' name). It can also be combined
	 * to case sensitive match to reject case insensitive matches ('HAMA' pattern
	 * will not match 'HashMap' name).
	 *
	 * If {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH} rule is also combined, then the real used
	 * match rule will depend on whether string pattern contains specific pattern
	 * characters (e.g. '*' or '?') or not. If it does, then only Pattern match rule will
	 * be used, otherwise only Camel Case match will be used.
	 * For example, with 'NPE' string pattern, search will only use
	 * Camel Case match rule, but with 'N*P*E*' string pattern, it will 
	 * use only Pattern match rule.
	 *
	 * @see CharOperation#camelCaseMatch(char[], char[], boolean) for a detailed
	 * explanation of Camel Case matching.
	 *
	 * @since 3.4
	 */
	public static final int R_CAMEL_CASE_MATCH = 0x0100;
</pre>
This change was necessary has the obsolete <code>R_CAMELCASE_MATCH</code> could
not support correctly additional constants as <code>R_PREFIX_MATCH</code> or 
<code>R_CASE_SENSITIVE</code>.<br>
However, this deprecated constant is still accepted for backward compatibility
but user is advised to replace it with <code>R_CAMEL_CASE_MATCH | R_PREFIX_MATCH</code>
