I agree, I just believe in tools that work the way *I* want, not the way somebody else wants. If I wanted a tool that treated me like an idiot and prevented my doing things I would use Microsoft tools :)
Only kidding, I *love* Intellij and think the support network (i.e. you guys) is amazing. It's almost like open source :) Cheers -----Original Message----- From: Peter Mularien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 January 2002 16:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Eap-list] #541 Code completion ignores static public membersfor this. There isn't anything wrong with using "this". I believe I remember reading that the convention for static final members was that you were supposed to refer to them explicitly with the class name, e.g.: i = MyClass.STATIC_MEMBER vs. i = this.STATIC_MEMBER (or) i = STATIC_MEMBER IIRC, the reason for this was that you want to have the code reader know that member is associated with the Class (with a capital C) and not the object instance, since you could in theory move the constants out of your class, and everywhere you've referred to them with this. or no prefix might break. I agree that you should be able to enable it showing up in auto-complete, but I think that the way it works makes sense. Maybe instead it could show up with some notation in the auto-complete, so that you know it's a constant value (I believe this was on the Ariadna feature list).
