Better inferencing of Enums
What did I mean here???
...
Inferencing inside of closures
Type inferencing and content assist inside of closures now uses the type of calling method as the type of this. For example:
| Code Block |
|---|
new Foo().run {
this
}
|
Hovering over this in the editor and the bubble will show that this is of type Foo. See GRECLIPSE-916.
Quickfixes
We now have quickfixes in the Groovy editor, see GRECLIPSE-909. In this release, we introduce two quickfixes: convert to Groovy file (GRECLIPSE-910) and add import (GRECLIPSE-911).
Inferencing of statically imported fields and methods
Statically imported fields and methods are now available from content assist and in the inferencing engine. See GRECLIPSE-698 for more information.
Content assist for Constructors
Content assist now includes appropriate constructors when invoked in front of a new keyword. See GRECLIPSE-839.
Improved semantic highlighting
Semantic highlighting now highlights field references, static references, and deprecated references. See GRECLIPSE-869 and GRECLIPSE-708.
Organize imports improvements
Organize imports in Groovy scripts now respects the settings in Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Organize Imports. Imports are sorted appropriately and grouped according to preferences. Also, semi-colons are now automatically removed. See GRECLIPSE-498.
Create Groovy Script
The New Groovy Class wizard now has an option to create a Groovy script instead of a standard class. See GRECLIPSE-485.
Outline view for binary Groovy types
