digitalmars.D.announce - Eclipse D Development Tools (DDT) plug-in version 0.10.2 released

reply "eles" <eles215 gzk.dot> writes:
This release is really amazing. Among the main changes:

- Updated to CDT 8.4, thus fully compatible with Eclipse Luna 
release series and takes many advantages of it (for example, 
added Dynamic printf action to DDT editor ruler)
- Very much improved integration with DUB, allowing code 
navigation through all files of the DUB project
- Compatible with Arch Linux packages for DMD/GDC/LDC
- Mouse hovering over an auto keyword will show the resolved type
- Many bug fixes

Highly recommended for Eclipse IDE users as DDT comes on par with 
CDT. My honest impression: it was good until now, but from now on 
it just entered the excellence period.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but in the future let me post the release 
announcements myself.

In particular this was a minor release and likely not that worthy of 
D.announce . There wasn't that many improvements or bug fixes either, 
you are over-selling it.

Yes. Sorry. I was to happy that the Eclipse signalled "found new 
version" :)

I don't agree with you, It's worth it. For myself it is very 
interesing release, because I have Luna and I am on Arch linux :).

I would still have posted on D.ide (and the DDT Google Groups), that's 
what I do for minor releases.

You may underestimate importance of dub dependency support :)

Seems like there was a misunderstanding here, little has changed in 
terms of dependency support (there was already support for DUB 
dependencies before).

The difference is just what happens when semantic operations are invoked 
(code completion, etc.), depending on the *editor* file where they are 
invoked. Before, if you invoked such an operation on a file from a DUB 
package, but that DUB package was not an Eclipse DDT project, the 
semantic operation would just resolve the elements in that module file, 
and see nothing else. It would not see DUB dependencies, nor even other 
source files from the same DUB package. This is what changed.

It works the same as code completion. So if invoking code completion 
works in code such as:
   (<some_exp>).►
where ► is the cursor location, then the auto hover will also be able to 
figure out the type of <some_exp>. (It's pretty much the same mechanism 
underlying it)
