Anil,

In which editor is this failing? I have been running 2.1 since
it was released, and I haven't seen this. I'm thinking that
maybe you have a third party editor that was designed for 2.0 and
it doesn't work with 2.1. Could that be the case?

Anil,

Are there any conflicts showing in Window>Preferences>Keys>Edit>Content
Assist

What third party plugins have you installed?
Have you tried removing these? Some third party plugins have caused command
conflicts

This problem is caused by the X-Men XML plug-in. If you look in your
Windows>Preferences>Workbench>Keys menu, you'll see two null entries near
the bottom. One of these null entries is bound to CTRL+space, causing the
key conflict. There are two ways to fix this. Delete the X-Men XML
plug-in, or remove the key accelerator from X-Men's plugin.xml file. I
suggest just blowing it away and getting XML Buddy instead.

You have to hit ctrl+space without entering space after the word.
e.g. for(ctrl+space) not for (ctrl+space).

That worked for me. May be you have a different problem.

It works in general for me, but occasionally I find that it doesn't work for
me. I know that sometimes it can get screwed up if there are too many errors
in the source file, but when I see it the only error is the incomplete name
I am trying to complete. I haven't found a reproducible test case. Wondering
if anyone else has seen that.

And FYI, the only plug-ins I have added are checkstyle and Jalopy.

Dale, in your case the content assist isn't working because of the errors
in your files. If the content assist cannot find a logical path through
your code, it can't suggest any completions. For example, if you have
accidentally misprinted an import statement, content assist will not be
able to see any classes or methods from the mispelt package.

I believe Anil was describing the problem where content assist never
works. Which I am certain is because of X-Men XML or another plug-in that
declares CTRL+Space as a key accelerator.

Anyways, I hope this helps to clarify your content assist probs. :)
