Hi
We support KW assistance from external libs although there might be cases where list of KW will not be available (we discovered one flaw today with jython and external libs, next version v.0.6.2 will have this patch). Still, it is possible to get content assist for KW by manually generating libdocs and including libdoc xml file into red.xml (this is also a way to work with RED when not all of the required external libraries are installed on your pc but you are able to get list of KW into xml).
For libdoc generation have a look into official docs:
http://robot-framework.readthedocs.org/en/2.9.1/_modules/robot/libdoc.html
for jython, simplified command:
jython -m robot.libdoc <lib_name_jar> <output_libdoc_file_xml>
from red.
Ok. Just to be clear: it should do it automatically, but in case it fails, one can always do the generating libdocs? Because this is a big deal in the development flow, for developers: write or update your keyword, and have it refactored inside your robot file (or at least told that this keyword does not exist anymore).

Hi
From RED and RF point of view, whenever external lib is included in testcase and in red.xml, RED is executing libdoc generation in background (command as above depending of python interpreter used in project) to get list of KW&docs - if libdoc command fails, libname is in red. Also when lib is changed, you can manually force RED to regenerate KW from changed files by right clicking on lib name under Robot Referenced Libraries in Project Explorer ( in v.0.6.2 there will be mechanism to detect and regenerate KW list when files where changed configurable in red.xml).
So when KW name is changed in external libs, error for unknown KW in robot tests will be rised on file or on whole project if validated (you can also use headless validation in CI to get the same but in automatic way as for instance post-commit action).
I hope this is clear for you.

Yep, thanks a lot! I will give it a spin, then, and maybe I will finally manage to convince my team to use RF, in order to keep our sanity. Cheers
