Thank you all for the feedback!

I just uploaded a new release (0.5.3.20081230) which adds support for user libraries:

http://dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/Configuring

Next I'll try to work on making the cool things work inside templates (and not stop working on big files) and maybe dsss integration or a simple builder.

You can remove it in Windows -> Preferences -> D -> Editor -> Content Assist, in "Auto activation triggers for D" (just remove the dot).

I'll do it, that seems a reasonable solution.

Done!

It seems that the new build is missing some stuff. Tried both the daily build zip and the update site. There are no descent features and only descent.launching, descent.debug.core and descent.ui.metrics plugins show up in the plugins list.

(Unrelated note, both descent.launching and descent.debug.core have the same name; Descent Launching Plug-in)

O.

Sounds good

I'm not sure if you understand what I mean but the biggest problem is not the activation of the content assist, it's the insertion of the selected element in the list when the content assist is active, when you press dot the second time. I still want to use dot as the activation of content assist when accessing class members and similar.

Thanks, I think that this will also solve the above problem. This is also a better solution than the above.

Now I see what you meen. I'll add an option for it. :-)

Ok, I promise this is the last one in this year.

I just uploaded another release (0.5.3.20081231) which adds some kind of support for autocompletion, go-to-definition and semantic highlighting inside templates. It is far from perfect, but comparing this to nothing I think it's ok. This release also has an option to not insert completion proposals when a dot is typed (as was suggested by Jacob Carlborg).

I also changed the Eclipse Update site to this one:

http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/descent/update-site

So beware that you won't be able to update this time from the update manager, but you can uninstall the previous one and add this as a new update site.

Happy new year!
Ary

Almost there. When pressing dot the second time the cursor is moved back one letter and ends up between the two dots instead of after the second dot.

Can you check this happens all the time? It happened to me in some cases, but I corrected them. I probably missed some others.
