JSDT editor in java project [message #553719]

So I'm editing a jsp file with embedded javascript. But the editor does not autocomplete the javascript portion, only the java portion. The only way I can get javascript autocomplete to work is if I create a javascript project with the ECMA libraries and make a JS file. Is there a way to make javascript code assist work in a jsp file? Thanks.

By "autocomplete" do you mean you expect content assist to automatically open as you type?

Or do you mean you trying to invoke content assist (default key-binding ctrl-space) and it is not doing anything?

Both, it doesn't open when I type and if I do ctr-space it says no default proposals.

What type of project are you in?

Check the Project facets of the project and make sure the "JavaScript" facet is enabled.

Ok, I made some progress, by enabling the facet i now can get code assist when using ctr space, How do I make it automatic (as in when I type dot, it comes up)?

AFAIK, automatic proposal is not the default behaviour in Eclipse, you
have to type Ctrl+Space to issue it.
Anyway, it seems to me there's something related to your need in Window
| Preferences | JavaScript | Editor | Content Assist.

This seems to be a bug that auto activation does not work in Javascript regions. Bug 305209 fixed this problem for Java regions in JSPs. Could you please report this to Bugzilla and report the bug number back here.
