I can’t seem to get code assist working properly with annotations. I’m using MyEclipse 5.5 with the all-in-one installer that also installs Eclipse 3.2.
If I type the @ symbol and then ctrl+space I get the message ‘no default proposals’. However, if I type @S and the ctrl+space it then picks up the @SupressWarings annotation that i’m looking for. With other annotations such as @WebService I cannot get insight for the various attributes of that annotation such as name or serviceName.
What did I do wrong – or is this a know bug?

This is the default behavior with the editor with most autocomplete. For example, type “public MyClass extends |” and hit autocomplete where the pipe is, it’s not going to show you list of every single class visible. You have to type atleast the first char.

I believe the same applies here because so many possible things can be valid inside of an annotation body… I haven’t implemented any annotations myself yet, so I can’t give you a very indepth explanation of why this behavior makes sense, I just know it is by-design.
