[SwingCarlos]

So my ContentAssist-CodeAssist is not turned on. I can’t
Use Ctrl-Click, F3, Ctrl-space, Ctrl-Shift-G, the whole shebang.
It seems to me that I have to add the src folders to the
Java Build Path. Unfortunately, the Properties->JavaBuildPath
option is not available for the project!

I have several projects in my workspace. All but one has these set of
options on the left hand side:

Info
Builders
CVS
FreeMarker Content
Hibernate Settings
Java Build Path
Java Code Style
<snip>
XDoclet Configurations

The project that i’m trying to configure properly has
the following Properties options on the left panel:
Info
Builders
CVS
FreeMarker Content
+MyEclipse
Packaging Configurations
<snip>
XDoclet Configurations

Someone please tell me how to add my src folder to
the build path so I can get ContentAssist-CodeAssist back.

MyEclipse 5.0 GA
jdk 1.4
And these are regular Java projects not WeProjects.
And just for kicks, i’ve included my build.xml below.

Thanks,
Carlos

Carlos,
If you don’t see a “Java Build Path” preference panel under your project properties, then your project is most likely a Simple Project. There is no direct migration path from Simple to Java project. What might have happened is if you checked this project into source control then checked it back out, it’s possible you forgot to check the .project file in, so when you pulled it back out, it got a default simple project project file and not the Java .project file.

[SwingCarlos]

So, I used XP Windows restore to get my .classpath and .project files back. And I still am not getting the “Java Build Path”
options under Properties. Is there any other tricks to getting the Properties->Java Build Path options back?

Carlos,
Try opening your .project file, you should see a Java nature added to the project, if you don’t, then it looks like this project may have never been a Java project on this particular computer.

Experimental, Please Backup Your Project
What I might try doing (if I were you) is creating a new Java project, then comparing the two .project and .classpath files and see if you can manually doctor the broken one until it works.

The fastest way to success is simply creating a new Java project then dragging and dropping your source files from the broken project into the new project, but I don’t know if that will work in your environment.
