| ========== Eclipse Build Input Junit 10th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - in order to fix bug 63247, we have added a "Filters..." dialog to the view menu of |
| the Java search results page. Besides the filters we had previously, the number of |
| top level elements (or just elements when in the "flat" layout mode), can be limited |
| to a given value. The default is to filter with a threshold value of 1000 top level |
| elements. |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input May 25th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - Javadoc view now uses style sheet /JavadocStyleSheet.css |
| - bug fixing |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input May 17th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - added new Problem description hover. The Combined hover tries this one before |
| the Javadoc hover and tries the Annotation description hover at the end |
| - improved cursor feedback when hovering over annotations in vertical ruler |
| - bug fixing |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input May 11th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - reworked Java editor preference pages: |
| - Annotations and Quick Diff sub-pages are gone: they are now centralized under |
| Workbench > Editors |
| - Hover preference page has been improved |
| - several sub-pages are now separate pages under Java > Editor |
| - merged Spelling preference sub-pages onto one page |
| - added cursor feedback when hovering over annotations in vertical ruler |
| - removed Java editor related dependencies on compatibility plug-in |
| - externalized all strings |
| - bug fixing |
| - Semantic highlighting: |
| - Class file editor support |
| - Added highlightings: local/parameter variable reference, local variable declaration, |
| static method invocation, abstract method invocation, inherited method invocation |
| - Merged preference page with syntax highlighting page |
| - Italic text attribute support for syntax and semantic highlighting |
| - Case-insensitive task tag support in syntax highlighting |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input May 4th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - Added new Folding preference page (Java > Editor) which allows to enable and |
| configure folding for the Compilation Unit editor (support for the class file |
| editor will follow) |
| - JDT UI defines the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.foldingStructureProvider extension |
| point which allows arbitrary foldings to be contributed. The standard folding |
| allows to fold methods, javadoc, inner types, and imports. |
| - contributed structure providers must implement IJavaFoldingStructureProvider, |
| which is responsible for keeping the folding model up to date when the document |
| changes. Folding structure changes are reflected by updating the ProjectionAnnotationModel. |
| - additionally, contributors may specify an IJavaFoldingPreferenceBlock that |
| will be displayed on the Java Editor preference page. User preferences for folding |
| can be shown there. |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input April 27th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - Added new Occurrences preference page (Java > Editor) which allows to control |
| for which elements occurrences get marked (types, methods, constants, non-constant |
| fields local variables and constants). |
| - Added a new tool bar button which allows to quickly toggle occurrence highlighting. |
| - Initial release of semantic highlighting |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input April 20th 2004 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - Added experimental preference to enable browser widget in Javadoc view. This |
| is disabled per default and can be enabled on the Work in Progress preference page. |
| - Added syntax coloring option for the 'return' keyword (Java > Editor > Syntax). |
| </pre> |

| default override and implements icons will appear in the vertical ruler and allow |
| to jump to the super implementation. |

| ========== Eclipse Build Input March 23th 2004 (3.0 M8) ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - The Java editor's background reconciler now gets the AST from the Java Model |
| and offers a reconcile listener to inform internal clients about the new AST. |
| - An ASTProvider has been introduced which caches the active editor's AST. Clients |
| who use an AST should use ASTProvider.getAST(...) to get the AST. |
| - Rename and move refactorings also update references in javadoc tags. |
| - Simplified rename dialogs. |
| - Semantic change in RenameSupport (org.eclipse.jdt.ui.refactoring): |
| The flags UPDATE_JAVADOC_COMMENTS, UPDATE_REGULAR_COMMENTS, and |
| UPDATE_STRING_LITERALS are deprecated and replaced by UPDATE_TEXTUAL_MATCHES. |
| When renaming java elements, references in javadocs are now updated iff |
| UPDATE_REFERENCES is set. All textual matches are now updated iff |
| UPDATE_REGULAR_COMMENTS or UPDATE_STRING_LITERALS is set. |
| </pre> |
