| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input October 28th 2003 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |
| - Occurrences of the selected element can be highlighted in the Java editor |
| (Java > Work in Progress > Mark occurrences in file). These Search annotations |
| can be highlighted (see Annotation preference page) and also quickly removed |
| using the Remove Occurrence Annotations source command (default: Alt+Shift+U). |
| - The "Disable overwrite mode" preference has been promoted from the Work in Progress |
| preference page to the Java Editor's Typing preference page. |

| <pre> |
| - The Java editor now updates the editor status line with problem annotation |
| messages while typing. |
| </pre> |
| ========== Eclipse Build Input October 7th 2003 ==========<br> |
| <pre> |

| - Formatting has been extended to also format Javadoc if it is specified in the Java |
| preferences. The preferences can be found on the Java Code Formatting preference page. |
| - "Format Element" is a new formatting action which formats the element at the cursor position. This |
| is either a Javadoc comment, a method, a type, etc. |
| - "Correct Indent" bound to Ctrl+I in the default key binding corrects the line indentation |
| of the selected lines. |
| - The Java editors use docment providers which retrieve their documents from the file buffers manager. Thus |
| ther is how document updating between Java editors and Default text editors if they have been opened on the |
| same file. |

| through a new parameter. The current implementation doesn't consider ripple methods |
| nor does it recode the selected expression to fix accessibility problems. |
| </pre> |

| <pre> |
| - The JDT Editor and its preference page now use marker annotation preferences |
| declared in org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor plug-in. This enables the |
| editor to show new markers/annotations if they have a marker annotation |
| specification. |
| - The JDT extends now ExtendedJavaEditor, an additional layer combining features |
| used in rich editors, such as the annotation, line number and overview rulers, |
| the print margin, current text highlighting, and quick diff. |
