Paste code snippet in Ceylon Explorer package should create a .ceylon file

[PhiLhoSoft]

A trick I appreciate in Eclipse Java is that I can copy a code snippet in a file, then select a package (eg. in the Project Explorer) and paste the snippet. Eclipse will create a .java file with the snippet in it.
If I copied a whole class, the new file will have the class name and a package declaration is added.
Otherwise, it names the file Snippet and creates a class of same name where it pastes the code.

I tried this in the Ceylon Explorer (out of habit), and I got... a Snippet.java file with a Java class declaration!

It would be nice if the Ceylon plugin could detect such action and just create a Snippet.ceylon file with the code pasted raw (or in a class?) in it. Or be a little smarter and detect if we paste a class or interface, to name the file after the (first) found item.

I guess what is needed for this one is a customized CCPActionGroup at CeylonNavigatorStandardActionsProvider.java:69. Probably not super-hard.

Yep: it's actually PasteAction.TextPaster that does this work for Java.

@PhiLhoSoft I have implemented this. WDYT?

[PhiLhoSoft]

Great! Thanks for this. (and for the autocompletion on camel case too).
As soon as it is available in an update (sorry, no time to build the IDE by myself), I will try it and report feedback (or just use it happily if working flawlessly... 😄).

Hi Gavin, i tried to copy 3 files (the file .ceylon, not the content) to another package and now it opens the popup for the snippet, maybe thats not a intended behavior.

@DiegoCoronel hopefully should be fixed now.

Closing. @PhiLhoSoft can reopen if there's something wrong with it.
