Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-23705:
---------------------------------------

I cannot really say anything, because my knowledge of freemarker is really not that deep. What I see in PR it drops java bean introspection and re-implements reflection based introspection. I'd rather like to see PR using the introspection utils from freemarker itself or apache commons beanutils BeanUtilBean with custom Introspector registered to tackle InterfaceBased beans introspection problems.

> If your beans in freemarker templates are described by an interface, the code completion (content assist) will not work. 
> There two mechanism implemented to provide content suggestion: 
> # Bean-Introspection: this doesn't work for interfaces
> # Java Reflections: there are bugs which prevent any suggestions
> My suggestion: use only reflections - it will work for both and isn't that harder to implement.
> I'm working on a pull request for fixing this issue.
