Using Eclipse + PDT, I know that you can specify the return type of a method or the type of a variable within a method via type hints.
How about class fields? Can I declare the type of a field in order to enable autocompletion for that variable?
I tried something on the lines of:
class MyClass {
  protected $Field; /* @var $Field MyType */
  ...
but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to achieve autocompletion of class fields with Eclipse and PDT?
thanks,
Silvio
