Package org.eclipse.jface.text.quickassist

This package provides the quick assist assistant add-on for an ISourceViewer. The quick assist assistant's purpose is to propose, display, and insert quick assists and quick fixes available at the current source viewer's quick assist invocation context.

A quick fix is a completion that can correct a problem reported and visible through an Annotation while a quick assist is not related to a problem or Annotation. Since quick assists can be proposed where appropriate they are normally not visible in the viewer. The quick assist assistant implementation in this package can show the quick assists that are available on the current line.
