I have configured Java Content Assist Autoactivation for all alphabets,numbers,underscore,dot. It helps to get all suggestions as and when i type.

But when i press space, the first selection in suggestions is automatically selected. This changes the word i was typing. This is not what i wanted.

Is there any way to disable selecting auto completion suggestion when pressing space. I want to select it by Enter-Key only.

thanks

Yes , you can change that.
Preferences -> Editor -> Content Assist ->[check it] Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter'

Now the suggestion will only be added with Enter.
