Highly Responsive Code CompletionANTLRWorks 2 is the first development enviroment to incorporate Tunnel Vision Labs' recent advances in highly responsive code completion -- code completion features respond instantly as you type in a grammar. In the past, languages with dynamic typing and/or type inference posed significant limitations on IDEs to produce usable code completion behavior. ANTLRWorks 2 highlights the ability of our algorithms to overcome these limitations.Navigation FeaturesANTLRWorks 2 provides several standard navigation features in NetBeans. In addition to the Navigator window, ANTLRWorks 2 highlights references to the element under the caret (the "Mark Occurrences" feature) and allows the user to Ctrl+Click elements to jump to a declaration.Unique FeaturesThe performance and consistency of Tunnel Vision Labs' source analysis algorithms allows us to provide several additional features to help users understand large amounts of code with less effort. ANTLRWorks 2 allows users to hover over an element in a grammar to see a tooltip with information about the referenced rule.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just got started playing with StringTemplate and here is a Mac native ANTLR dev environment. I will get a chance to check this out as well!
Thanks!
