AJDT Example: Autocompletion Doesn't Work [message #26004]

I was going through the online ``Getting Started with AJDT'' document (URL
below), and I came across a part of the example that doesn't work for me. I'd
like to determine if the example is out of date, or if I've installed AJDT
incorrectly.

First, my stats: Eclipse 2.1.1, AJDT 1.1.3, Sun JDK 1.4.2_01, Windows XP.

Going through the user guide, on the ``Adding a New Aspect to Your Project''
page:
< http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/org. eclipse.ajdt/plugins/org.eclipse.ajdt/doc/AJDTug/ajdt-addasp ect.html>

It says:
Start typing inside the body of the aspect: "pointcut greeting() : exe"
and then hit "Ctrl+Space" (code completion). The editor will suggest
auto-completions for the execution pointcut: [...]

When I do this, I simply get a message in the Eclipse status bar:
``No completions available.''

I believe that I am using the proper editor and so on; AspectJ keywords are
highlighted in the editor, and I can compile and run AspectJ programs.

So, is the online example wrong, or have I missed some configuration bit?

Thanks ---

Eric.

Hi Eric,

You are doing everything right. What's wrong is that the "Getting Started
with AJDT" user guide is actually for AJDT 1.1.4 which has not been
released yet. Auto-completion is one of the new features in 1.1.4.

We are *very* close to releasing 1.1.4 but, because of one or two
unforeseen things that have fallen out of the QA phase on it and AspectJ
1.1.1 on which it depends, things have slipped a little. We will sort this
now.

Best regards,
--
George

Ah, thanks! Now that I look, I see that 1.1.4 is specified several times in
the guide --- it's even in the in subtitle! Still, somehow I missed it.

I will also mention that in following the guide with 1.1.3, I couldn't seem to
make the Aspect Visualizer do anything for the (trivial) example program; the
visualizer window was always blank. When 1.1.4 is available, I'll try again,
and submit a more detailed report if necessary.

Thanks again ---

Eric.
