Source Action: Override/Implement Methods...

[testforstephen]

Although we have supported the quick fix Add unimplemented methods, it will be also helpful to support it on Source Action.

Currently most source actions return java.apply.workspaceEdit command, but for Override/Implement action, one idea is to return a customized command, such as java.action.overrideMethod to client. When the command is executed on client, client will send a request to server to get all possible methods from super class or interface first, then prompt to select the target methods, after that, send the selected methods info to server to compute the TextEdit change, and apply change.

@yaohaizh @fbricon Any more thoughts?

the interesting aspect of this approach is we wouldn't need to compute all textedits on each code action request.

• I'd call it java.action.overrideMethodsPrompt
• would only be sent to clients explicitely announcing they support it

yes, yes. it's kind of lazy load. be able to reduce the compute cost.
