Override method

[Vliro]

Hi! I am really enjoying working on Java using nvim-jdtls. However, one functionality I cannot seem to find is the simple override method, that is list all methods of the superclasses/interfaces and generate an empty body. Is this possible in nvim-jdtls? Thanks :)

For methods that must be implemented you can use a code action on the class level. For optional methods you can use completion with snippet support. (So you need a plugin like nvim-cmp or nvim-lsp-compl)

Here is both in action:

Thank you @mfussenegger . I know about the mandatory one for e.g. interfaces but not the autocomplete, that looks great. Is it somehow possible to get a list of methods, and select one? For instance, via telescope to mimic other editors. Thanks!

If you trigger the completion within the class body without having typed anything it should list all methods, but it will also include keywords and so on.

I guess you could use the lower-level API to filter these out. I have something like that in my dotfiles but instead of filtering for methods it filters for dedicated snippets triggering:

So you'd use either vim.lsp.buf_request_sync or vim.lsp.buf_request on the textDocument/completion LSP-method and filter the results to fit your use-case and pass the result to telescope
