Content assist does not work for me using [Cntl + Space]. This is rather annoying since using [cntl+space] has become almost second nature, and due to this i am forced to move to an manual install of eclipse without myeclipse plugins.

I have downloaded the latest myeclipse bundle and tried with the same result. I am using Windows Vista as OS.

Please let me know what additional information i need to post to help resolve this issue.

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

What editor were you working with and what piece of code were you trying to auto-complete?

[paramasivam]

Hi Nipun,

Please find the requested details below. I am using the Java editor and trying auto complete for variables and code snippets. I have tried reinstalling myeclipse and creating a new workspace and a new project but it does not seem to help.

public class testClass {
    public static void main(String args[]){
        String s = "String";
        s.

    }
}

Can you create a class named testClass.java and paste the above code in it. Now can you hit ctrl + space after “s.”. Does it show the dropdown list?

[paramasivam]

Hi Nipun,

Thanks for the reply.. Nothing happens when i hit ctrl + space after the “s.” , Please let me know if you need any other information

paramasivam,
Can you go to Windows > Prefs > Java > Editor > Content Assist >and hit “Restore Default”. I hope that works.

paramasivam, raelsinai.

Can you validate the following –

1. Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist
Check the Auto-Activation section if Enable auto activation is selected?
2. Also validate Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced
Check Basic Proposals is selected?

You should be all set with content-assist.

I tried the steps, and it still does not work. I have just upgraded Myeclipse to the latest version, and content assist has since stopped working. No settings were changed.

raelsinai,

Can you copy and paste your installation details here? You can get it from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Detail.

I just saw from your screenshot that Other Java Proposals was not selected. Selecting it has enabled Content Assist again.
Thanks for your help.

[support-joy]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that. My Bad. Good to hear that you have content assist working.
Thanks for posting the fix 🙂
