I just installed MyEclipse 6.5 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 32-bit system.
.
Code completion is not working. I can successfully compile and run classes/applications, however I do not get any code completion options popping up…. ie I can type “Integer.” and nothing happens.

I have a MyEclipse 6.0 installation also, and it does not have the same issue.

Both of them are setup to use the same JDK installation for projects (JDK1.6.0_02). I’ve tried switching the JDK for 6.5, and the issue still occurs. I tried installing it on another development machine I have with the same JDK, and the same issue still occurs.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

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

What file are you trying code completion in?

Can you paste a sample file here for me and point out the line where the code completion is not working for you.

Code completion does not work at all, anywhere. It does not matter if it is a class in the jdk, a class in the source code, or a class in a jar on the build path for the project. I can build in eclipse and run classes. No compilation errors occur. Just nothing happens after hitting the “.”. Here’s a very simple example:

/**
* A simple test class
*
*/
public class Test {

public String stringNumber = “1”;
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test = new Test();
test.stringNumber.toString(); //code completion does not work here

Integer.parseInt(test.stringNumber); // code completion does not work here

}

}

Can you go to http://www.poweredbypulse.com and grab the pulse launcher. After launching pulse, add the MyEclipse profile to it. Create a new project and test if auto complete works. Let me know if the issue persists.

I also saw a similar thing to what was mentioned here in two cases:

1. When the JRE class library was not added to the libraries, but then you wouldn’t be able to compile.

2. When for some reason an autocompletion-set was inactive somehow, but in this case it asked which set of autocompletion I wanted to use.

BR,

Robert

And I did try the suggested Pulse thing and it didn’t help.

The symptom is the same: no code completion for any project, any class.

[Loyal Water]

Are you guys working with projects that have been checked out from a version control system ?

Can all of you grab the JSFLogin example from the Examples on Demand page and try auto complete in the UserBean.javafile. Does it work?

[black_bird921]

Hey I solved this issue by using a brand new workspace other than my legacy one that was used by myeclipse 6.0 too.

Thanks for the help.
