Lost autocompletion mode in editor [message #178747] Tue, 21 September 2004 12:44 Go to next message

Originally posted by: list.eclipse.newgenesys.com

I am running Eclipse 3.0 build 200406251208 on Linux Fedora core 1. Sometime
ago I lost the autocompletion feature in the Java Editor. Not sure if the
term is right, but this feature would pop up a window suggesting the most
appropriate method when starting typying away its name. Now I have to rely
on F3 to look at the declaration. I would love to have this feature back.

I have looked everywhere I could think of, but cannot find a flag to restore
it. Also strangely some menu labels have lost their value. It is now
replaced by its tags. For example, under Run I have now
%ToggleBreakpointAction.label and things like that.

I suspect I must be missing a resource file, but which one?

Thanks for your help

Pascal

The term is actually CodeAssist. Any ideas why I can only access CodeAssist
via CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE. It doesn't popup by default anymore after pressing
'.'

Check "Enable Auto Activation" on the Java>Editor>Content Assist
preference page.

It is checked. This is why I think I am having a problem. Any idea why it
would not work for me. Also why do I lost some menu items description and
only get the labels starting with %. Could those 2 problems related?

Thanks for your help

Have you installed any third party plugins (around the time you started
having the problems)?
We have seen things like this before: See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=65278 and
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71233

Darin,

Yes. You are right. I have MyEclipse installed. I will try to uninstall it
right now and see if the problem goes away.

Thanks for the info. I love that community. Always helpful and what a
product? Can't seem to work without it anymore?
