I gave it a new try this morning (on JavaEE M6, Java M6, Luna SR2). Here's my experience :
(java.util.)List<?> foo = new <Ctrl+Space> => Anonymous List. I expected ArrayList to be available among all List subtypes. I reckon that's a JDT issue, but I was expecting/hoping code recommenders would "fix" it OOTB. (java.util.)List<?> foo = new A<Ctrl+Space> => Now code recommenders adds 2 links during autocompletion : - enable subword completions - not the results I expected, discover new extensions (something like that) so I enabled subword completion. new A<Ctrl+Space> then gave me a huge list of useless choices. ArrayList showed up after typing ArrayL<Ctrl+Space>. Not really a time saver. So I wanted to go back to displaying the "not the results I expected, discover new plugins " link. I disabled subword completion in the prefs, but couldn't have that link to be displayed again. Eventually I figured out I had to go to Code Recommenders preferences and click the link to discover new extensions. After guessing the Codetrails crowdsource extension would be a good fit for me, I installed it, restarted eclipse and tried again. (java.util.)List<?> foo = new A<Ctrl+Space> => ArrayList first. Yeah! So I select that and ... doesn't use the diamond operator [1]. That one really bothers me. So, from my experience, *if* code recommenders were to be enabled by default, then it'd need to have : 1 - Codetrails crowdsource extension installed by default 2 - subword completion disabled 3 - [1] fixed before the Mars release Once all these criteria are met, then that'll make a really awesome feature. Just my 2 cents.
