Netbeans, autocomplete, fluent interface

Question

PHP

And how do you solve the problem with a fluid interface?

class Shape
    {
    /** @param type $color
     * @return \Shape */
    public function setPenColor($color)
        { return $this; }
    /** @param type $color
     * @return \Shape */
    public function setBrushColor($color)
        { return $this; }
    }

class Circle extends shape
    {
    /** @param type $x
     * @param type $y
     * @return \Circle */
    public function setCenter($x, $y)
        { return $this; }
    /** @param type $radius
     * @return \Circle */
    public function setRadius($radius)
        { return $this; }
    }

$circle = (new Circle())
    ->setBrushColor($color)
    ->|;

Accordingly, in NetBeans, in place of |, only the shape methods appear, and not circle and shape.

How do you deal with this problem in your IDE?

Answer 1

There is no such problem in phpStorm.

Answer 2

Yes, there is such a thing in NetBeans, so far I have found only 2 crutches:
1. List each class in return, if there are a lot of classes, you will be tormented.
return Shape|Circle
2. In Shape dock use method
method Circle setCenter($x, $y) Description
