Java completion and resolve

Create object

Completion and resolving on second argument is working if first argument if "java".

Java methods completion

Expressions types

Binary/unary/etc. expression types are calculated if operands are appropriate java classes or literal expressions. The result parameters are always java classes (in case of literal operands - boxed types).

If resolve crashes

Sometimes you may get wrong result of the resolve - for example in long complex expressions. Yet it not work for standard functions - except createObject.

Then you may specify variable type in comments for completion to work for its methods. The pattern is (if you are familiar with regular expressions)
<!---[^@]*@cfmlvariable name=\"([^\"]+)\" type=\"([^\"]*)\"([^-]*|-[^-]|--[^-]|---[^>])*--->>
Well... it is easier to give an example =) Here is it: <!--- @cfmlvariable name="yourVariableName" type="javaClassName" --->

And your completion would be working from this comment down to next such comment for this variable. Of course resolve works on "type" parameter.
Enjoy! =)

Preview

If you have coldfusion local server installed on your machine you may in a few steps configure idea to put cfml pages to the web root directory and open browser on specefied page to view the result. (As it is the first version, I suppose it will be modified a lot).

Here they are:

1 Step: Add ColdFusion Facet

2 Step: Specify ColdFusion web root directory on your file system

By default on windows it is C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot

3 Step: Specify relative folder

You may use nested directories. If it does not exists it will be created under web root and all files under project will be copied there on compilation stage.

4 Step: Manage run configurations

Add ColdFusion Run Configuration

5 Step: Specify any page from your project as a start one

You may change server URL also (by default it is localhost:8500)

And you are done!

Attributes completion

If attribute has some predefined values, you'll have them in completion list.
For example cfqueryparam has cfsqltype which is always one of a set of possible values.

Working with variables

All functionality, which helps you to work with functions now available for variables inside the file. Auto completion, go to definition, usage highlighting

Go to definition on Ctrl+B

Usage highlighting Ctrl + Shift + F7

Auto completion Ctrl + Space

Live templates

Live template invoked after typing appropriate char sequence and pressing Tab button. They are used for faster writing mostly typical code fragments. For example if you type cfo and press Tab, then you'll have such code instead of cfo: <cfoutput>component</cfoutput>. Your cursor will be staying at the begining of component word. Typing anything will replace the word. Press enter and cursor will jump at the end of the construction.

You may see available templates in Settings/Live templates/cfml

Improving structure view

New feature will be available with a new version. Under the root of structure view there are two subtrees. One of them presents the cfml structure of the file and another - html. I suppose it should be useful.

Version 1.20

Structure view

Structure view on Alt + 7 for cfml file is shown. Functions definitions have special icons.
