==============================================================================
1. Overview *javacomplete-overview*
This is javacomplete, an omni-completion script of JAVA language for vim 7 and
above. It includes javacomplete.vim, java_parser.vim, Reflection.java, and
javacomplete.txt.
1.1 Features *javacomplete-features*
- List members of a class, including (static) fields, (static) methods and ctors.
- List classes or subpackages of a package.
- Provide parameters information of a method, list all overload methods.
- Complete an incomplete word.
- Provide a complete JAVA parser written in Vim script language.
- Use the JVM to obtain most information.
- Use the embedded parser to obtain the class information from source files.
- Tags generated by ctags can also be used.
- JSP is supported, Builtin objects such as request, session can be recognized.
The classes and jar files in the WEB-INF will be appended automatically to the classpath.
1.2 Requirements *javacomplete-requirements*
It works on all the platforms wherever
- Vim version 7.0 and above,
- JDK version 1.1 and above,
exists.
1.3 Download *javacomplete-download*
You can download the lastest version from this url:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1785
1.4 Install *javacomplete-install*
1. Unzip javacomplete.zip to a directory of 'runtimepath', e.g.
$HOME/.vim (unix/linux), $VIM/vimfiles (windows). >
> unzip javacomplete.zip -d ~/.vim
< To update Vim help tags, run vim and run command: >
:helptags $HOME/.vim/doc
< or >
:helptags $VIM/vimfiles/doc
NOTE: javacomplete.vim, java_parser.vim and Reflection.java should be in one
autoload directory of 'runtimepath'.
javacomplete.txt should be in one doc directory of 'runtimepath'.
2. Set 'omnifunc' option. e.g. >
:setlocal omnifunc=javacomplete#Complete
< Or, use autocmd: >
:" Only do this part when compiled with support for autocommands.
:if has("autocmd")
: autocmd Filetype java setlocal omnifunc=javacomplete#Complete
:endif
You can add this command to your .vimrc or _vimrc.
3. Set 'completefunc' option to show parameters information IF YOU LIKE. e.g. >
:setlocal completefunc=javacomplete#CompleteParamsInfo
You can map as follows for better display: >
:inoremap <buffer> <C-X><C-U> <C-X><C-U><C-P>
:inoremap <buffer> <C-S-Space> <C-X><C-U><C-P>
4. Reflection.java will be automatcally compiled and placed to $HOME when you
use first time. Assure that Reflection.java is in the same directory with
javacomplete.vim to be searched in autoload subdirectory of &rtp.
If no Reflection.class is generated, check that you have the write permission
in $HOME directory.
If a previous Reflection.java is not compatible with the new version
javacomplete.vim, please compile Reflection.java manually.
==============================================================================
2. Usage *javacomplete-usage*
You can use it like other omni-completion script. Many samples of input context
are gived in the following section.
Make sure a JVM launcher (default 'java') can be searched in the PATH enviroment
variable, otherwise Use javacomplete#SetJVMLauncher() to specify one. See option
`javacomplete-launcher`.
See FAQ in time if some problem occurs. When meeting other problems not
described in FAQ, you can contact with the auther by the following e-mail:
fangread@yahoo.com.cn
2.1 Input contexts |javacomplete-contexts|
It recognize nearly all kinds of Primary Expressions (see langspec-3.0)
except for "Primary.new Indentifier". Casting conversion is also supported.
Samples of input contexts are as following: (Note that '|' indicates cursor)
(1). after '.', list members of a class or a package
- package.| subpackages and classes of a package
- Type.| static members of the 'Type' class and "class"
- var.| or field.| members of a variable or a field
- method().| members of result of method()
- this.| members of the current class
- ClassName.this.| members of the qualified class
- super.| members of the super class
- array.| members of an array object
- array[i].| array access, return members of the element of array
- "String".| String literal, return members of java.lang.String
- int.| or void.| primitive type or pseudo-type, return "class"
- int[].| array type, return members of a array type and "class"
- java.lang.String[].|
- new int[].| members of the new array instance
- new java.lang.String[i=1][].|
- new Type().| members of the new class instance
- Type.class.| class literal, return members of java.lang.Class
- void.class.| or int.class.|
- ((Type)var).| cast var as Type, return members of Type.
- (var.method()).| same with "var.|"
- (new Class()).| same with "new Class().|"
(2). after '(', list matching methods with parameters information.
- method(|) methods matched
- var.method(|) methods matched
- new ClassName(|) constructors matched
- this(|) constructors of current class matched
- super(|) constructors of super class matched
Any place between '(' and ')' will be supported soon.
Help information of javadoc is not supported yet.
(3). after an incomplete word, list all the matched beginning with it.
- var.ab| subset of members of var beginning with `ab`
- ab| list of all maybes
(4). import statement
- " import java.util.|"
- " import java.ut|"
- " import ja|"
- " import java.lang.Character.|" e.g. "Subset"
- " import static java.lang.Math.|" e.g. "PI, abs"
(5). package declaration
- " package com.|"
The above are in simple expression.
(6). after compound expression:
- PrimaryExpr.var.|
- PrimaryExpr.method().|
- PrimaryExpr.method(|)
- PrimaryExpr.var.ab|
e.g.
- "java.lang . System.in .|"
- "java.lang.System.getenv().|"
- "int.class.toString().|"
- "list.toArray().|"
- "new ZipFile(path).|"
- "new ZipFile(path).entries().|"
(7). Nested expression:
- "System.out.println( str.| )"
- "System.out.println(str.charAt(| )"
- "for (int i = 0; i < str.|; i++)"
- "for ( Object o : a.getCollect| )"
2.2 Kind letter *javacomplete-kindletter*
A single letter indicates the kind of compeltion item. These kinds are:
+ ctor
v local variable or parameter
f nonstatic field
F static field
m nonstatic method
M static method
P package
C class type
I interface type
2.3 Options *javacomplete-options*
1. Set java compiler (default 'javac') using the following function:
javacomplete#SetCompiler('javac') *javacomplete-compiler*
2. Set java launcher (default 'java') using the following function:
javacomplete#SetJVMLauncher('java') *javacomplete-launcher*
3. Set classpath using the following function: >
javacomplete#AddClassPath('jarfile_or_classes_path')
javacomplete#DelClassPath('jarfile_or_classes_path')
javacomplete#SetClassPath('semicolon_separated_string')
<
Another two variables will be used if they are existing:
|g:java_classpath| global classpath
|b:classpath| associated with current buffer
In one sense, s:classpath is like a classpath option for a PROJECT.
If some of them are body set, the priority of these variables is:
first, b:classpath first,
second, s:classpath
third, g:java_classpath
last, $CLASSPATH
4. Set sourcepath using the following function: >
javacomplete#AddSourcePath('sources_file_path')
javacomplete#DelSourcePath('sources_file_path')
javacomplete#SetSourcePath('sources_file_path')
5. Set option for using JDK1.1 if you meet the problem described in FAQ 3: >
javacomplete#UseJDK11()
6. Set methods to search declaration: >
" 1 - by builtin searchdecl(), quickest but inaccurate in many cases.
" 2 - by special Searchdecl(), work NOT WELL YET.
" 4 - by java_parser, slowest but accurate in most cases. Not for JSP.
javacomplete#SetSearchdeclMethod()
2.4 Commands *javacomplete-commands*
==============================================================================
3. Java parser in Vim *javacomplete-parser*
3.1 Abstract Syntax Tree *javacomplete-ast*
3.2 Global Constants *javacomplete-constants*
3.3 Parsing Functions *javacomplete-functions*
3.4 Sample Codes *javacomplete-sample*
This parser can be a good candidate for anyone who needs a java parser to get
a abstract syntax tree for many use. The following are sample codes: >
" NOTE: The script contains a single parser instance. You cannot create
" another parser! The only way to parse another JAVA code is reset the
" parser by calling java_parser#InitParser().
" 1. Initialize the parser
" for a code snippet,
call java_parser#InitParser(['for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {', '', '}'])
" or for the current buffer,
call java_parser#InitParser(getline('^', '$'))
" or for a whole source file
call java_parser#InitParser(readfile('java/util/Arrays.java'))
" 2. Get the result tree
call java_parser#compilationUnit()
" or others according to the input code
call java_parser#expression()
call java_parser#block()
call java_parser#statement()
" 3. Use the tree as you like
" 4. The default scan strategy is scanning only sklenton.
" You can change it by set the option 'scanStrategy'.
" The values for 'scanStrategy' option are:
" 0 - only class members when parse full file;
" 1 - keep statement as a whole string;
" 2 - all
call java_parser#InitParser(getline('^', '$'), {'scanStrategy': 2})
" 5. I recommend that keeping scanStrategy as default.
" If you want to parse a code snippet such as a method body of the whole
" file, you can call java_parser#GotoPosition() to go to what you are going
" to start parsing.
" Then, call java_parser#block(), java_parser#statement() or
" java_parser#expression() to parse the smaller snippet.
" NOTE: This way will keep the result tree reserved.
call java_parser#GotoPosition(def.body.pos)
call java_parser#block()
==============================================================================
4. FAQ *javacomplete-faq*
(1). When you meets the following problem: >
omni-completion error: Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Reflection
It is Reflection.class not found in autoload directory or $HOME that cause
this problem.
There are several reasons causing this problem:
o No compiler. Use javacomplete#SetCompiler() to specify one.
o No write permission for $HOME directory.
(2). Reflection.java should be searched in autoload subdirectory of &rtp.
Reflection.class should be searched in $HOME or autoload subdirectory of &rtp.
If not found, javacomplete try to compile it and place the generated class
file in $HOME.
(3). A error when using JDK1.1:
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
When I tested JDK1.1.8 on Windows XP, I found -classpath options cause it.
There are two way to avoid it is:
o Add the runtime classes to classpath, like
"${JDK118}\classes;${JDK118}\lib\classes.zip;${JDK118}\lib\classes.jar;"
o Add Reflection.class and others to the CLASSPATH enviroment variable.
And call javacomplete#UseJDK11() to set option.
==============================================================================
5. Limitations *javacomplete-limitations*
The embedded parser works a bit slower than expected.
