Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-1524:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for mentioning the Eclipse "feature/trick" for suggestion list for
static methods - I didn't know about that.
Here's a plain Java trick I learned recently, that let's you avoid the
Classname.some_static_method "Classname" prefix in Java 8. It has 2 steps:
* put the static method in an interface, as a static (default) method.
* in a class where you want to use these, have the class "implement" the
interface.
Then you can use the name without the prefix. Works also with static fields.
It's a nice way to include lots of static field names.
