Direct Known Subclasses:

FunctionCompletion

public class VariableCompletion
extends BasicCompletion

A completion for a variable (or constant) in a programming language.

This completion type uses its shortDescription property as part of its summary returned by getSummary(); for this reason, it may be a little longer (even much longer), if desired, than what is recommended for BasicCompletions (where the shortDescription is used in toString() for ListCellRenderers).

Version:

1.0
