I am using Eclipse Indigo, and programming a method that starts this way:
public void display()
{
JLabel label1 = new JLabel("one");
JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(label1);
JLabel txtMessages = new JLabel("These are the times that fry men's soles.");
JPanel bigCourtInfoPanel = new JPanel();
bigCourtInfoPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(bigCourtInfoPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
Right under the "JLabel txtMessages" line, I can type "txtMessages.", and I would expect an content assist with the methods available for the txtMessages variable. None appear. I would also expect content assist if I enter control-space, but none appear then either.
What I do get, intermittently, is a yellow background and red foreground highlight on the rest of the method. I don't know what that means.
1. What is the yellow/red highlighting?
2. How do I get my list of content-assist methods?

Have you added an import for JLabel? If not, then JLabel won't be able
to be resolved so it won't be possible to provide content assist.

This normally appears to the right and means that that this text will be
replaced when inserting the proposal.

You should get it if you place the caret after the "textMessages." and
invoke Ctrl+Space. If that is not the case then please file a bug
against JDT Text
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=JDT;component=Text).
