Hello all,
I'm trying to get the zsh code completion to expand out java directories and
application modules so that I have directory completion set up with the dot
instead of the slash.
As an example, I'd like to be able to do with java and a directory
/com/foo/bar containing a file Main.class
java -classpath . com.foo.bar.Main
using the dot prefix to expand on com.f<tab>, if that makes any sense.
I also use ATG Dynamo heavily, so which uses application modules in the same
style. I have a script for this, but it still expands things out with the /
tag. It's almost what I want, but not quite; I'd also like it so that only
directories which contain a META-INF directory are considered.
So given a directory structure
$DYNAMO_ROOT/
DAS/
META-INF/
LDAP/
META-INF/
iPlanetDirectory/
META-INF/
DPS/
META-INF/
home/
no meta inf dir here/
Then
startDynamo -m DAS.LDAP.iPlanetDirectory
would be expanded out, but home wouldn't be on the possible list, and DPS
wouldn't have any child completions.
I've created a file called _modules with the following text
#autoload
# Because of the way that the files options are processed, need to pass in
# DYNAMO_ROOT and not $DYNAMO_HOME/..
# We also want to find files which contain a META-INF directory.
# We also want to be able to expand out sub-modules.
DYNAMO_ROOT=$DYNAMO_HOME/..
_files -/ -W DYNAMO_ROOT
but that's as far as I've gotten for now.
What should I change to get the code working like I want?
Will.

And of course, two seconds I send that I find that there's already a java
completion. Duh.
I'll look at that and see if I can scavange some code.

I solved this in a non-zsh fashion by writing a program called classfind that
parsed my classpath and built a cache of classes vs. package/directory.
So I can identify which jar I pick up a particular class from.
I then built a zsh completion around it, such that this program was invoked for
'java com.oopsconsultancy.<TAB>'. So it doesn't complete on directories, but
from your classpath.
More details if you're interested.

That sounds like a great idea; parse out the classpath and then do
completion on it. Woo.

I don't parse out the classpath. Rather I perform the completion function, and
generate the possible package names (and cache them for later use). So I can
complete on a classpath setting (including .zips and .jars) rather than on a
directory basis. Which is what you really want.
Don't know yet if the zsh 4.x completions handle this. Unfortunately my current
client is stuck on 3.x at the moment :-( Hopefully I can check this out next
week.

Yeah, that was what I meant.
Do you do completion in place, so you can define a classpath and expand out
the package in the same line? Something along the lines of
java -cp jedit.jar org.gjt.jedit.JEdit
would be supercool.
Will.
