Re: Eclipse Plugin Project Plan

If the questioner meant when will the 2.8 plugin be usable, I think Miles had said about a week or two.

Sorry, the question was not aimed for me, but I'll chime in anyway:

Basic rename refactoring (including rename-in-file without opening a
dialog) and better code completion (one that always works and without
showing duplicates and non-accessible members) is essential before I
consider the plug-in really productive. Without this feature, the
supposed advantage of statical typing for IDE support is kind of missing.

But don't get me wrong, I love the plug-in and really appreciate the
work Miles has been doing and I don't expect just a few people to
produce the equivalent of JDT, considering the countless man-hours that
have been put into JDT. And Miles said these features will likely make
it into 2.8.0 so I will be pretty happy if they do :)
