Implementing Code Completion in BlueJ

[b***@hotmail.com]

Hi All,
I have Win2K and have j2sdk1.4.2_08.
I have downloaded BlueJ and am looking for directions to invoke the
code completion feature that is claimed to be in BlueJ.

public void showFrame() {
JFrame myFrame = new JFrame(title);
myFrame.getContentPane().add(this, BorderLayout.CENTER);
myFrame.pack();
myFrame.setSize(new Dimension(width, height));
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}
The code completion that I am familiar with shows
if I placed my cursor after "myFrame" , enter a "." it will show me in
a drop down, the options of what would be possible to be entered next.

You help is appreciated.

Bob

Where does it say about this feature? It is not in any version of BlueJ I
have ever used. If you want something with auto complete try netbeans.

Hi Richard,

I didn't see it happen with the latest download either.
I was looking at other posts here on the topic "blueJ code completion"
and as I discovered there was such a thing.

But this is just asking, since there are plug in's avaiable is there
one for
code completion?

Actually, I had GEL a while back and it had the feature as I described
above, But GEL seems to have gone away.

There may well be a plugin to do that. I have been taught by two of the guys
who wrote BlueJ and they never mentioned an auto complete feature. I don't
think it is a feature they would include by default as BlueJ is designed as
a teaching tool ahead of a development tool. Auto complete might be seen as
cheating. One of the guys who wrote BlueJ sometimes appears on this group so
he may be able to provide a better answer.
