Description Tim Lebedkov 2005-11-28 19:16:20 UTC
e.g. ${a instanceof="javax.swing.Test"} is described nowhere
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2005-12-11 10:52:28 UTC
The most up-to-date description is in editor/codetemplates Architecture document
http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-editor-codetemplates/architecture-summary.html
but I had to update it as well - there were three hint descriptions missing
(array, type and editable). I would like to ask pkeegan to update docs. Thanks a
lot.

Checking in codetemplates/arch/arch-editor-codetemplates.xml;

Help has been written for the code template feature (after this issue was filed,
I think). We have passed doc freeze, so I don't anticipate further updating the
existing help, unless others agree that it is a showstopper. We might be able to
put something in an article. 
Comment 3 Tim Lebedkov 2006-09-20 08:57:29 UTC
don't see any improvements in 5.5
Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2007-08-10 16:18:38 UTC
Switching to Geertjan, since he is re-doing editor docs
Comment 5 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-08-16 15:25:18 UTC
Will do for 6.0 final release, in a web document that will cover Java editor functionality.
Comment 6 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-09-11 22:02:58 UTC
See this table, which has had the requested info since 5.5, which I have also added to the helpset, in Java Applications

Comment 7 Tim Lebedkov 2007-09-19 17:44:18 UTC
Help still missing in 6.0 beta1.
It should be available on F1 from the "Expanded Text" tab
Comment 8 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-09-19 17:57:54 UTC
Not in Beta 1. It is in trunk. You'll see it in daily builds or in Beta 2.
Comment 9 Tim Lebedkov 2008-03-12 13:06:28 UTC
ok
