Updated version of the original javacomplete plugin for vim.

Generics demo

This is vim-javacomplete2, an omni-completion plugin for Java requiring vim 7.

It includes javacomplete.vim, java_parser.vim, javavi (reflecton and source parsing library), javavibridge.py, and the javaparser library.

I have kept java_parser.vim for local (live) continuous parsing, because the javaparser library can't parse unfinished files.

For now the main difference from the original plugin is the existence of a server-like java library, that allows communication over sockets. This speeds up reflection and parsing.

One more issue I had with the original javacomplete plugin is losing my classpath and as a result, completion not working. So now the javacomplete2 plugin detects the JRE library path, thus bringing standard java completion out of the box - no configuration required! The plugin will scan child directory tree for src directory and add it to the sources path (For this, it is nice to have vim-rooter plugin). By default the plugin will look for a pom.xml file, and add libraries you use in path.

For the first run the plugin will compile the Javavi library.

Features:

• Server side java reflection class loader and parsing library;
• Searches class files automatically, using pom.xml to append completion classpath;
• Generics;
• Lambdas;
• Annotations completion.

Features (originally existed):

• 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;
• JSP is supported, Builtin objects such as request, session can be recognized.

Features borrowed and ported to vimscript from vim-javacompleteex:

• Complete class name;
• Add import statement for a given class name.

• Vim version 7.4 or above with python support;
• JDK8.

Run:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2.git

Add to .vimrc:

Plugin 'artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2'

Add to .vimrc:

NeoBundle 'artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2'

Add to .vimrc:

Plug 'artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2'

Add this to your .vimrc file:

autocmd FileType java set omnifunc=javacomplete#Complete

To enable inserting class imports with F4, add:

nnoremap <F4> call javacomplete#AddImport()<cr>

g:JavaComplete_LibsPath - path to additional jar files. This path appends with you libraries specified in pom.xml. Here you can add, for example, your glassfish libs directory or your project libs. It will be automatically append your JRE home path.

g:JavaComplete_SourcesPath - path of additional sources. Don't try to add all sources you have, this will slow down the parsing process. Instead, add your project sources and necessary library sources. If you have compiled classes add them to the previous config (g:JavaComplete_LibsPath) instead. By default the plugin will search the src directory and add it automatically.

let g:JavaComplete_MavenRepositoryDisable = 1 - don't append classpath with libraries specified in pom.xml of your project. By default is 0.

let g:JavaComplete_UseFQN = 1 - use full qualified name in completions description. By default is 0.

let g:JavaComplete_PomPath = /path/to/pom.xml - set path to pom.xml explicitly. It will be set automatically, if pom.xml is in underlying path.

manually run server:

javacomplete#StartServer()

manually stop server:

javacomplete#TerminateServer()

insert class import:

javacomplete#AddImport()

show port used for javavi server:

javacomplete#ShowPort()

show javavi server process id:

javacomplete#ShowPID()

manually run server compilation:

javacomplete#CompileJavavi()

• First run can be slow;
• The embedded parser works a bit slower than expected;
• Sometimes you need to call completion twice, because server doesn't start immediatly.

• Add javadoc;
• Lambda support;
• Cross session cache;
• Most used (classes, methods, vars) at first place (smart suggestions);
• FXML support;
• Check for jsp support;
• Refactoring support?;
• Class creation helpers;
• Generics;
• etc...
