ErlyBird Screenshot: Including Args in Completion Suggestion

阅读更多

As a newbie to Erlang, I'm not familiar with those OTP module/functions, I have to go back to see the docs again and again. At least, now ErlyBird will suggest me the arguments of each function now.

Other progress:

• If erl/erl.exe is under the environment path, ErlyBird will try to set Erlang Installation path automatically.
• Indexing engine is now based on Lucene, and is integrated with NetBeans' Generic Scripting Framework 100%.
• As I'm now using ErlyBird for my daily works, and have written more Erlang code, I fixed some bugs that cause ErlyBird unstable.

To do list in the near future:

• Integrate with Erlware to provide better project manager.
• Go to declaration of macro
• Completion for fields of record
• Highlighting unbound variables and unused variables
• Basic re-factor features: rename local variable name, un-exported function name etc.
• Manage Erlyweb project
• Support syntax of Erlyweb template: *.et files
• Stabilize, Stabilize

And I hope language engine of NetBeans will be optimized soon, since it eats too much memory and needs performance improvement.
