That old XML golden hammer again...
Hi Jeremy.
So what do you propose be the default for Collection? I have a source file
here that has 4 different concrete declarations for different Collection
variables, so whichever I chose as the default, I would have been wrong in 3
out of 4 cases (possibly 4!).
A nicer solution would be for IDEA's smart completion to offer classes and
interfaces which implement or extend the interface, so that "ArrayList"
would appear in a drop-down along with "LinkedList" and "List {...}" (and
any Lists I had implemented myself).
The IntelliJ guys mentioned recently that they thought of this a while back
but it was too slow, but they have since found a way to do it much quicker
so it may well reappear.
Sorry to rant, but I really disagree with hard-coding implicit relationships
in config files, whatever their suffix.
Cheers,
Dan
