  override dispatch createProposals(RuleCall ruleCall, ContentAssistContext context,
    IIdeContentProposalAcceptor acceptor)

How can I invoke a rule which is not triggered.

For example,
I know that a particular rule will not be invoked at an instance.
I wish to trigger it ,So that the above is executed with the particular rule

As I understand ,

The rules are called implictly.

Hello:
ID;

I know if I type "abc" ,Hello rule will be invoked .

I wish to invoke Hello rule ,by java or xtend code.So that I get the rule call here. Its like i want to tell, trigger this rule no matter what

sry i have no idea on that.
i am talking about the initial method that is called by content assist service which is createProposals(contexts, acceptor);
