Improved Editor comments
Some changes are hard to get used to
To me, the performance is still lacking to the point where it is almost a show stopper. Copy/Paste is also not there yet. When you paste text it should AUTOMATICALLY space according to the text above/below it...not require key strokes to align properly. Eclipse does this well.
I think the error-badges are still a problem. One of my friends who is not in NetCAT but uses the RC1 finds this very annoying. I would say that there needs to be an obvious statement somewhere that this might occure and will be fixed in the next release.
Generally, the Editor works great and new features are rocking!! But #115796 is a showstopper for me, as its a clear in-the-face bug when JSP editing.
Javadoc editing (code completion) still not as good as competition. Class movement (refactoring) deleted the content of the file.
Mainly the new JSP scriptlet editor has weird bugs like #122200 and #122214
I've noticed a couple of small bugs in auto-completion where wrong code is inserted and the badges on the folders don't update correctly sometimes.
Sometimes I find the editor a little unresponsive, especially with the autocomplete feature.
Code completion is still way too slow.
A minor enhancement I would like is the ability to automatically place a semicolon at the end of a line, regardless of where the cursor/caret is when the user hits the semicolon key (note: this seems to work sometimes).
I hope the completion be faster as the eclipse code completion
Performance is still a major issue - I need immediate response while I type!
Although it's not a very serious issue, regressions like this should be taken care of before a new major release.
Slow for some types of files (JSF for example) and comsume 100% of ONE cpu (my pc is multicore, but, apparently, it does not use.
Fonts and Colors is still very buggy. Changes don't always show up until restart and imported settings from 5.5 makes things much much worse.
I still get NPEs when performing various types of refactoring. I also am still getting NPEs due to #121954. Further, I still get NPE scanning errors when moving between various source files.
Code completion doesn't work when using the following code: ${not empty pageContext.<---- code complete won't pop up. Remove the "not empty" part and it works fine.
There are almost 550 bugs remaining which means you eventually will come to some of these bugs, but most of them can be dealt with.
- sometimes a bit slow - sometimes wrong (or better not well-fitting) proposal for code completion
I is also a bit slower, but the improvements far outweigh the performance issues
I would like to see this one reevaluated before the next release. I do a lot of editing JSPs in a freeform project I support.
It could always be faster. I type fast, code-completion should move at the speed that I type - like eclipse.
Very slow
Common shortcuts don't work (Ctrl - R) for renaming, for example, or Go To Super (Ctrl-Shift-P) for another example. Other common tasks, like Surround with, to which I'd like to assign a shortcut aren't available (or at least I can't find them in the list)
Code completion is still badly broken.
I don't like the light bulbs.They are too small to click
Actually, I think the IDE is not yet ready for release, but I don't know the bug numbers.
The properties and methods in the projects tabs for classes have disapeared after a week of using RC1.
