Summary: Need to find a better solution for bower dependencies content assistant [EBZ#492191]
Key: ERT-172
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-172
Project: Eclipse Release Train
Issue Type: Task
Components: WTP Source Editing
Reporter: Friendly Jira Robot
In order to show content assist proposals for bower dependencies a 2rd party web service was used. It was a really problematic due to its unstable work, slowness and a tendency to change an URL for requests and formats of response.
I do believe, we should not provide any content assist for dependencies in case no search pattern is provided (typed in) by a user because of really huge memory requirements and network overload in such case:
- Native "bower search" command also takes a couple of minutes to complete and returns ~3.2MB of data (which means even more amount of network transfers).
Given this, IMHO, we have not to show *all* available packages in content assistant, but show package list only if at least first letter (or a couple of beginning letters) of package name is typed in by a user.
Also the way to get the proposals itself is also a question: we cannot rely on 3rd party services as they are not enough stable and fast.
