## What's new in this drop

- Added a new API method on `SearchPattern` to provide matching regions between a pattern and a name when they are compared using a given match rule
  (see more details in bug 218605).

      /**
       * Answers all the regions in a given name matching a given pattern using
       * a specified match rule.
       *
       * Each of these regions is made of its starting index and its length in the given
       * name. They are all concatenated in a single array of int
       * which therefore always has an even length.
       *
       * All returned regions are disjointed from each other. That means that the end
       * of a region is always different than the start of the following one.
       * For example, if two regions are returned:
       * { start1, length1, start2, length2 }
       * then start1+length1 will always be smaller than
       * start2.
       *
       * The possible comparison rules between the name and the pattern are:
       *     . {@link #R_EXACT_MATCH exact matching}
       *     . {@link #R_PREFIX_MATCH prefix matching}
       *     . {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH pattern matching}
       *     . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH camel case matching}
       *     . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_SAME_PART_COUNT_MATCH camel case matching with same parts count}
       *
       * Each of these rules may be combined with the
       * {@link #R_CASE_SENSITIVE case sensitive flag} if the match comparison
       * should respect the case.
       *
       * Examples:
       *    .   pattern = "NPE"
       *        name = NullPointerException / NoPermissionException
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}
       *        result:  { 0, 1, 4, 1, 11, 1 } / { 0, 1, 2, 1, 12, 1 }
       *     .  pattern = "NuPoEx"
       *        name = NullPointerException
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}
       *        result:  { 0, 2, 4, 2, 11, 2 }
       *     .  pattern = "IPL3"
       *        name = "IPerspectiveListener3"
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}
       *        result:  { 0, 2, 12, 1, 20, 1 }
       *     .  pattern = "HashME"
       *        name = "HashMapEntry"
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}
       *        result:  { 0, 5, 7, 1 }
       *     .  pattern = "N???Po*Ex?eption"
       *        name = NullPointerException
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH} | {@link #R_CASE_SENSITIVE}
       *        result:  { 0, 1, 4, 2, 11, 2, 14, 6 }
       *     .  pattern = "Ha*M*ent*"
       *        name = "HashMapEntry"
       *        matchRule = {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH}
       *        result:  { 0, 2, 4, 1, 7, 3 }
       *
       * @see #camelCaseMatch(String, String, boolean) for more details on the
       * 	camel case behavior
       * @see CharOperation#match(char[], char[], boolean) for more details on the
       * 	pattern match behavior
       *
       * @param pattern the given pattern. If null,
       *     then an empty region (new int[0]) will be returned
       *     showing that the name matches the pattern but no common
       *     character has been found.
       * @param name the given name
       * @param matchRule the rule to apply for the comparison.
       *     The following values are accepted:
       *         . {@link #R_EXACT_MATCH}
       *         . {@link #R_PREFIX_MATCH}
       *         . {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH}
       *         . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}
       *         . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_SAME_PART_COUNT_MATCH}
       *
       *     Each of these valid values may be also combined with
       *     the {@link #R_CASE_SENSITIVE} flag.
       *
       *     Some examples:
       *         . {@link #R_EXACT_MATCH} | {@link #R_CASE_SENSITIVE}:
       *           if an exact case sensitive match is expected,
       *         . {@link #R_PREFIX_MATCH}:
       *           if a case insensitive prefix match is expected,
       *         . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_MATCH}:
       *           if a case insensitive camel case match is expected,
       *         . {@link #R_CAMELCASE_SAME_PART_COUNT_MATCH}
       *            | {@link #R_CASE_SENSITIVE}:
       *           if a case sensitive camel case with same parts count match
       *           is expected,
       *         . etc.
       *
       * @return an array of int having two slots per returned
       *     regions (the first one is the region starting index and the second one
       *     is the region length or null if the given name does not
       *     match the given pattern).
       *
       *     The returned regions may be empty (new int[0]) if the
       *     pattern is null (whatever the match rule is). The returned
       *     regions will also be empty if the pattern is only made of '?'
       *     and/or '*' character(s) (e.g. '*',
       *     '?*', '???', etc.) when using a pattern
       *     match rule.
       *
       * @since 3.5

## What's new in this drop

- Added new API to propose constructor completion
  When "new ArrayLis" is completed now constructors are proposed instead of type references. This new completion kind is `CONSTRUCTOR_INVOCATION` and this proposal has always a `TYPE_REF` required proposal to describe the type of the constructor. The `CONSTRUCTOR_INVOCATION` has "()" as completion string and `TYPE_REF` has "java.util.ArrayList" as completion string.
  There is also a similar new API to complete anonymous type constructor: `ANONYMOUS_CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR_INVOCATION`

      	/**
      	 * Completion is a reference to a constructor.

  These new proposals can require a long computation so they are proposed only if code assist was called with a progress monitor. To avoid that the code assist operation takes too much time a `IProgressMonitor` which automatically cancel the code assist operation when a specified amount of time is reached could be used.

      new IProgressMonitor() {
          private final static int TIMEOUT = 500; //ms
          private long endTime;

          }
          ...
       };

- Fix for bug 6930 required the index version to be incremented. Indexes will be automatically regenerated upon subsequent search queries (accounting for indexing notification in search progress dialogs) and the size of the new indexes will be bigger.

## What's new in this drop

- Added property to adjust the size of the openable cache: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.javamodelcache.ratio". For example, starting Eclipse as follows will increase the size of the openable cache by 50%:

      eclipse.exe -vmArgs -Dorg.eclipse.jdt.core.javamodelcache.ratio=1.5

- As users may want to have different behavior in comments, the new formatter preference to preserve line breaks is now controlled by two different options:
  - for the already wrapped code lines:
    `DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_JOIN_WRAPPED_LINES`

        /**
         * FORMATTER / Option to specify whether the formatter can join wrapped lines or not
         *
         * 		For example, the wrapped lines of method foo return statement in following test case:
         * 			class X {
         * 			String foo() {
         * 			return "select x "
         * 			       + "from y "
         * 			       + "where z=a";
         * 			}
         * 			}
         *
         * 		will be preserved by the formatter when the new preference is used
         * 		even if the maximum line width would give it enough space to join the lines.
         * 		Hence produces the following output:
         * 			class X {
         * 			    String foo() {
         * 			        return "select x "
         * 			                + "from y "
         * 			                + "where z=a";
         * 			    }
         * 			}
         *
         *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.join_wrapped_lines"
         *     - possible values:   { TRUE, FALSE }
         *     - default:           TRUE
         *
         * @since 3.5
         */

  - for the lines in comments:
    `DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_JOIN_LINES_IN_COMMENTS`

        /**
         * FORMATTER / Option to specify whether the formatter can join text lines in comments or not
         *
         * 		For example, the following comment:

         * 			 * foo is a substitute for bar.
         * 			 */
         * 			public class X {
         * 			}
         *
         * 		will be unchanged by the formatter when this new preference is used,
         * 		even if the maximum line width would give it enough space to join the lines.

# Eclipse Platform Build Notes
Java development tools core

Eclipse SDK 3.5M4 - December 7, 2008
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_928 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Added a new formatter preference to preserve existing breaks in already wrapped and comments lines.

  For example, the wrapped lines of method foo return statement in following test case:

      class X {
      String foo() {
      return "select x "
             + "from y "
             + "where z=a";
      }
      }

  will be preserved by the formatter when the new preference is used, hence produces now the following output:

      class X {
          String foo() {
              return "select x "
                      + "from y "
                      + "where z=a";
          }
      }

  Similarly, following comment:

      /**
       * The foo method.
       * foo is a substitute for bar.
       */
      public class X {
      }

  is now unchanged by the formatter when this new preference is used...

  This diagnosis is controlled by the option:
  `DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_PRESERVE_EXISTING_LINE_BREAKS`:

      /**
       * FORMATTER / Option to specify whether the formatter should preserve existing line breaks or not
       *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.preserve_existing_line_breaks"
       *     - possible values:   { TRUE, FALSE }

## What's new in this drop

- Improved dead code detection by having it (optionally) tolerate trivial IF statement, such as `if (DEBUG) ...`. This extra option is defined by `JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_DEAD_CODE_IN_TRIVIAL_IF_STATEMENT`.

      * Compiler option ID: Reporting Dead Code Inside Trivial If Statement.
      * When enabled, the compiler will signal presence of dead code inside trivial IF statement, e.g. if (DEBUG)...

      * Default:"warning"

- Dead code detection warning also got enabled by default.

      * Compiler option ID: Reporting Dead Code.
      * When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if some non fatal dead code is detected. For instance, if (false) foo();
      * is not reported as truly unreachable code by the Java Language Specification. If this diagnostic is enabled, then the invocation of foo() is
      * going to be signaled as being dead code.
      * Option id:"org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deadCode"

## What's new in this drop

- NamingConventions has now a more flexible API to suggest variable name: `NamingConventions.suggestVariableNames()`.
  The same method can be used to suggest local, instance field, static field and constant field name. This method use a new specific heuristic to generate constant name with upper case and underscore (e.g. `CONSTANT_FIELD_NAME`).

      public static String[] suggestVariableNames(
      			int variableKind,
      			int baseNameKind,
      			String baseName,
      			IJavaProject javaProject,

- NamingConventions has now an API to compute the name used to generate a variable name: `NamingConventions.getBaseName()`.

      public static String getBaseName(
      			int variableKind,
      			String variableName,
      			IJavaProject javaProject)

- New options are added to specify the prefixes and suffixes of a constant field: `JavaCore.CODEASSIST_STATIC_FIELD_PREFIXES` and `JavaCore.CODEASSIST_STATIC_FIELD_SUFFIXES`.

- Duplicate classpath entries are no longer reported if they are duplicate because of the classpath resolution (e.g. if two classpath containers add the same entry to the resolved classpath). Duplicate classpath entries at the raw classpath level are still reported. See bug 175226 for details.
- Added a new compiler warning to report a missing hashCode() method when overriding the equals() method from Object. This diagnosis is controlled by option: `JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_MISSING_HASHCODE_METHOD` and produces a problem marker which ID is `IProblem.MissingHashCodeMethod` problem ID.

        Compiler option ID: Reporting Missing HashCode Method.
        When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a type
        overrides Object.equals(Object) but does not override hashCode().
        Option id: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingHashCodeMethod"
        Possible values: { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
        Default: "ignore"

- The "Class-Path:" clause of a jar manifest is now honored in the Java model. Jars referenced by "Class-Path:" are now automatically added to the build path. See bug 198572 for details.
- Code Select search types outside the current project scope if no types are found in this scope

        Compiler option ID: Reporting Missing Synchronized Modifier On Inherited Method.
        When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a method
        overrides a synchronized method without having a synchronized modifier.
        Option id: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingSynchronizedOnInheritedMethod"
        Possible values: { "error", "warning", "ignore" }

## What's new in this drop

- Introduced a marker comment (`$FALL-THROUGH$`) for silencing compiler diagnosis for switch case falling through next case. This allows to document intended fall through situations in the code. Note: The marker comment can also be a block comment, i.e. `/* $FALL-THROUGH$ */`.
  e.g.

          switch(val) {
              case 0 :
                  doit(0);
                  // $FALL-THROUGH$ - also fall into next case
             case 1:
                  doit(1);
                  break;

# Eclipse Platform Build Notes
Java development tools core

Eclipse SDK 3.5M1 - June 24, 2008
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_900 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Incremented JDT/Core plug-in id to "3.5.0", since added new API/feature.
- Added a new compiler warning to detect comparisons between identical expressions. This diagnosis is controlled by option: `JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_COMPARING_IDENTICAL` and produces a problem marker which ID is `IProblem.ComparingIdentical` problem ID.

      Compiler option ID: Reporting Comparison of Identical Expressions.
      When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a comparison
      is involving identical operands (e.g 'x == x').
        - Option id:"org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.comparingIdentical"
        - Possible values: { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
        - Default: "warning"
