Code completion broken in Eclipse SDK? [message #329535]

For some reason, in the last couple RC builds and the 3.4 GA build of
the Eclipse SDK, I can't get code completion to work. It always says
there were no suggestions. What would cause this to break? This is on
Windows XP.

Thanks,
David

Here's an example... if I have the following method:

public void foo(String string) {
System.out.println(string);
}

And I start a new line after the first line and type "string." and press
Ctrl+space, it offers none of the methods from the String class.

I have tried running Eclipse both with the IBM 1.5 JRE and a 1.6 JRE,
but neither seems to cause the code completion to work. Has anyone seen
this before?

This is a knonw issue in some cases, reset your code completion options
to the default and that will fix it.

Thanks, Francis. This is a result of me reusing a workspace from an
earlier build. Something happened in that earlier build and Eclipse
reset my code completion options (the ones on the Advanced tab). I just
clicked Restore Defaults and everything is working now.

Thanks again,
David

Not really. The problem is that previously you had Mylyn installed which
modified the settings and now Mylyn is probably no longer installed.
