Hi,

Is there anything I need to do besides:

Window, Preferences, Java, Editor, Content Assist
Enable auto activation (bottom of page)
Delay 200, Trigger should be a dot.


to make code assist work? If I type System.out. I would expect Eclipse
to pop up a list of options, but nothing happens. Even when I hit
CTRL+Space nothing. I'm using Eclipse 3.2 on a Windows XP Home PC on
a desktop and laptop. I also use the BEA Workshop version on my
Desktop... none of them have the expected behavior.

Are there any errors in the Error Log View (Windows -> ShowView -> PDE
Runtime ->Error Log). Or is there a strange output in the console?

Make sure the file you're editing is
- in a Java project
- the file is on the build path
- you are editing the file with the Java editor

Hi,

Yes it is a Java project. I use the Java Perspective. The reason I am
curious is that when I was using 3.1, I had the code completion without
doing anything and now it's still there but I can't make it happen.

You confirm that it is a Java project, but did not confirm the other two
points that Dani asked: is the file your editing included on the source
path, and is it opening in the Java editor.

If you don't understand those questions, just ask.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Isn't is safe to assume that if I am using the Java Perspective then I
am using "the Java editor". If not, then since my code errors are
marked I would say that I am using the Java editor. Furthermore, I
just checked and the entire package is on the build path.

No. If a plug-in has been installed that sets itself as default for
*.java files or Java content type then that editor will be taken no
matter which perspective you're in.

Might be - another editor could do this as well.

Is there anything in .log? Could you strip down your workspace and
attach it to a bug report?

Is there a way to find this out by reading the Eclipse help? I'd rather
figure out how to strip my work space down without bothering anyone here.
