Hi,
I'm using jEdit for 3 or 4 year by now. And usually don't mind at all to lookup the javadoc or the source when I need to know the method name or signature. But yesterday, I decided to give it a try and installed CodeAid/Jane. The only thing that worked out of the box was variable name completion, which I already had and love via a short cut to Complete Word command (great feature! thanks!). After I studied help of both plugins, I wasn't any more enlightened. Would you help? Here are the questions I tried to invent for you, but if you use Jane/CodeAid, please let me know in 3-4 sentences what I have to do for a new project to configure it for CodeAid/Jane. Questions:
* In order to see member and suignature hints for Java API, do I need to tell Jane where this library is located?
* Once I add a library to Jane's list of libraries, does it parse them immediately, or do I have to do some special magic?
* What about project support? Do I have to add/remove from Jane's list of libraries every time I switch to a different project? Any integraton with Project Viewer?
* Is the DotComplete plugin still available? I don't see it from the plugin manager. Would it be helpful/useful with CodeAid/Jane?
I'll appreciate help, but can offer to extend the doco for these plugins with the info you share with me.
