[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-1203) EL autocompletion prompts static members

[Max Andersen (JIRA)]

Max Andersen commented on JBIDE-1203:
-------------------------------------

googling a bit on it gives me:

"JSP 2.0 also added an important feature to the EL specification: EL functions, which allow page authors to invoke static methods in Java classes from EL expressions. Additionally, JSP 2.0 allows programmatic access and customization of the EL evaluator through a set of standard interfaces and abstract classes."

So I guess this is legal.

> Autocomplete pops up "instance" and "instance()" as options for actor, conversation, etc.
> I'm not sure exactly what the EL spec says about static members, but I  don't think we should offer them as an option in the UI.
