How to enable full autocomplete description with own JAR ?

Question

Hi there,
To put my problem simply: I've created a JAR file and wish to utilize it within another Java project. Therefor I've imported the JAR file in my project path (I've done this in Eclipse and IntelliJ) and in both IDEs the JAR file works just fine.
But... I wish to use the autocompletion (yes, I'm a bit lame) in both IDEs. Now, whenever I import and call a function of a standard class (like java.util.Vector i.e.), the autocomplete pops up when writing the call to that specific function (i.e. add(Object o)). The autocomplete shows:
- the parameter names & types;
- the return type.
Now that's what I like to see also when calling a function of a self written class included in my own JAR. The only thing the autocomplete shows is the parameter types, not their names.
How on earth do I enable my autocompletion to show also the names of the parameters ?
I thought the blame could be the IDEs, but it's rather unlikely when two different IDEs behave similar in this matter. And it's not a bug in JAR itself. Perhaps I'm missing a specific argument when I jar up *.class files (I even tried to jar up the *.java files along, but without any results). Or perhaps it is something totally not possible (but I doubt that).
So, who's got the answer to this matter? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

But I did import the class I'd like the
autocompletion on.With an "import" statement, or do you mean you added its JAR to the build path? I mean the former. That sometimes helps, and usually works for me.
An example of how the a.c. looks like with a standard
Java class/import:
public object get(int index, String objectName)
And this is how the a.c. looks like when used on my
own class:
public object get(int, String)Aaaaaah. That's what you mean. I thought you meant it doesn't work at all.
Well... may I safely assume that you neither included the Javadocs nor the source code in that JAR? How would the IDE know what you call your parameters like? The binary code doesn't tell.
I've posted this already in a forum for the Java
IDEs, but instead of providing a proper solution,
they turned the topic into a flaming war about that
Eclipse would be far superiour than IntelliJ and
otherwise. So I tried it over here, hoping for more
civilisation ;).Forget it.
