Daniel Dekany commented on JBIDE-23705:
---------------------------------------

In case someone finds this issue... FreeMarker templates won't see anything that {{java.beans.Inspector}} doesn't, except that FreeMarker has an configuration option to see things defined via Java 8 default methods (yes, {{java.beans.Inspector}} doesn't see them for some reason). But, the code that deals with non-property-reader methods is totally broken anyway. As this plugin was deprecated, I fixed this in my fork (https://github.com/ddekany/jbosstools-freemarker), if anyone will need this to be fixed.

> 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.
