hi,
i used eclipse for the first time, one and half years ago, and i remember
that when i wrote somethig like:
someObject.
it came out a box telling me what methods are available for that object,
than when i cicle the methods, a description of the method used to pop up in
another box.
Well, now the description doesnt appear.
Any idea on how to get those descriptions to appear again?

Hi,
The description appears only if you have sources attached to the jar which
defines the class. If you got no description for the core java classes you
probably use a jre not a jdk. Go to Preferences-->Java-->Installed JREs.
Edit the one you use and see whether there is source attached to the rt.jar.
If not, you have to attach src.zip to it.
HTH,

The feature is called Code Assist.
Check your Preferences under Java > Editor > Code Assist and make sure
the Enable Auto Activation box is checked. If it is not, you'll have to
use Ctrl-Space to bring up the help box in code.
Note: this is for Eclipse 2.1 - the preferences location might have
changed for 3.0
HTH,
Eric
