[TYPO3-mvc] netbeans and factory object type hints / code completion

[Stephan Petzl]

hi there,

this is not exactly relating to extbase, but since extbase without code 
completion is not an option for me, i just decided to post this issue here:

i have a repository which is stored as a property in my controller.
since typo3 uses the makeInstance factory to instantiate objects the 
type of the instance is not clear to netbeans initially.

thats why i always used a type hint, like that:

----------------------
/**
  *
  * @var Tx_AjadoProfiles_Domain_Repository_FrontendUserRepository
  */
private $frontendUserRepository;
----------------------

this worked very well, but not any more. i think netbeans got even more 
clever and now (version 6.9) it recognises, that the property gets 
overridden in the initializeAction:

----------------------
/**
  * List action for this controller.
  *
  * @param Tx_AjadoArticles_Domain_Model_Article $article
  * @return string
  * @return void
  */
public function initializeAction() {
     $this->frontendUserRepository = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_AjadoProfiles_Domain_Repository_FrontendUserRepository');
}
----------------------
the last line in the action overrides the original type hint, i guess, 
so the code competion on $this->frontendUserRepository-> doesnt bring 
any results...

any ideas what i could do?
