Support easy option setting of fill function arguments on function insertion

[ghentschke]

if i do use auto complete for a function call, i still get the auto fill for parameters even though i tried to disable it in the content assist in c/c++

I am not sure if I understand you correctly. So you disabled the Enable auto activation on typing as shown in my screenshot above and you still get a completion proposal which you don't want or is the completion proposal content wrong?

the content is wrong, for example if i type pack.. and do content assist , when i choose packet_capture i expect to be complete packet_capture and not shoved with the entire method signature which just has me do a cleanup afterwords

this looks like the effects of this setting in play even though it's off.

Could be fixed by setting the clangd command line argument --function-arg-placeholders=true.

yes i know, but it's just a stop gap solution, no one really knows about this hidden thing, it needs to be the same checkbox setting.
TBH, i'm trying to write a simple plugin for eclipse, and in it's java's contnet assist is a clunky compared to intellij's

It would be more fair to compare investments as well .And you are welcome to contribute improvements to Eclipse JDT

meanwhile i can barely find out how to create a plugin that has a global field in a status bar, it started by me wanting to use a plugin that talks to a local chat LLM, but then i discovered the amount of tokens a file has is important, so i thought i ok, I'll make a plugin that just shows the amount of tokens in each file the same way eclipse shows amount of chars in a file, i already have a library for it, but wait, i can't use maven for this, i have to osgi package, . then it spiraled downwards because i discovered i can't use update site to download PDE but i actually get a whole new eclipse instead.

but wait, i can't use maven for this, i have to osgi package

you can, but with tycho

this repository is also a set of eclipse plug-ins and you may have a look how we produce installable units from it starting from root pom.xml

i know i looked at tycho in the beginning , but i wasn't sure how much of it is actually being used in the field, and how much of it is supported directly by eclipse , like if specify a dependency in maven would show up under the plugin.xml page? would i still be able to use the regular launch configuration for eclipse application, etc..
