Client package restrictions

[ashouric]

Dear All,

It seems that GWT Designer forces .client package to use only GWT emulation packages, that's really nice.

Just wanted to provide some feedback, as there seems to be more steps, mainly:

1 - Type "new java.util.<Ctrl+Space>", the TreeSet for instance is available in code assist.

2 - Java 1.5 features are not prevented, e.g. parametrized classes in "new ArrayList<Ctrl+Space>". I am not sure if you should do this at the moment, but if it is simple enough, it is fine till being allowed in GWT.

Many thanks.

I've tried to implement this feature, but Eclipse does not allow content assist filtering, at least on separate package level, so GWT Designer can not show different classes in content assist in client and server packages.

I see, that's fine.

Another thing, methods outside Emulation library are not prevented, e.g.

Code: Select all

new ArrayList().toArray( null );

It would be good to block this as well.

Many thanks.

Unfortunately, the same issue applies. Eclipse does not allow code assists from other plugins (in this case the JDT) to be filtered out.

Dear Eric,

I am not commenting about code assist, but about complidation instead.

For instace typing "new TreeSet()" give compilation error, what would be nice to have is compilation error for "myArrayList.toArray( new Object[0] );"
