I dug in and figured things out by trial and error recently, and I think I ended up exactly where Alex described in regards to the completion engine.
createInvisibleCompilationUnit() is defined on FlexProject (or maybe a superclass). This will create a compilation unit for a specific file (and any files that depend on it). A compilation unit contains definitions for classes/interfaces/functions/etc. Pass in the main class for an application project, and that should pull in everything. getCompilationUnits() is also defined on the project. This returns a collection of all compilation units used by the project after you call createInvisibleCompilationUnit() for the main class. The following call will give you all of the public definitions that are in a package block in a compilation unit: Collection<IDefinition> definitions = compilationUnit.getFileScopeRequest().get().getExternallyVisibleDefinitions() You could use that to build a list of classes and interfaces. Loop through all of the compilation units and grab anything that's instanceof ITypeDefinition. For member access completion, you need to get the scope from a type definition: TypeScope typeScope = (TypeScope) typeDefinition.getContainedScope(); Then call this function: typeScope.getAllPropertiesForMemberAccess(); I'm about to open source an ActionScript plugin for a text editor. You'll be able to look at my real code at that point, but hopefully these tips can give you a headstart. - Josh On Thu, Sep 8, 2016 at 10:25 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > > On 9/8/16, 9:56 PM, "santanu4ver" <santanu4...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >Hi Alex, > > > >I was looking into the Falcon description page here: > >https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Falcon+Overview which > >confirms your opinion/suggestion on Falcon's code to use for > >code-completion > >to an IDE: > > > > > >cwiki.apache.org wrote > >> It should be useful as a code-intelligence engine and incremental > >>compiler > >> for an integrated development environment, and not just as a > >>command-line > >> compiler. > > > >As a complete beginner to understand Falcon, can you give us or point us > >to > >some more details on this?
