[SOLVED] Content/Code Assist Broken? [message #812788]

When editing the code in Eclipse IDE, and i enter a method from which another method can be returned from it, no list of methods pops up when i enter a period.

Example:

Integer.parseInt(String s);

if i were to type 'Integer' then the period, no list would pop up that contains the method 'parseInt(String s)'

Is there an actual JDK present (not merely a JRE)?

Yeah. It was working earlier, then it just stopped. I don't know why.

Is there a certain area in the preferences window that enables/disables it?

EDIT: It seems to be in Java > Editor > Content Assist. However 'Auto-Activation' is checked...

If the list still comes up when you manually hit Ctrl+Space, you can
check which characters will bring up the list automatically from the
Java Content Assist preference page, as "auto activation triggers for Java".

It seems to ONLY come up when i manually do ctrl + space. There is a period for the activation trigger. When the window does comes up it says there are no proposals (Java Proposals is checked in the top box on the "Advanced" page)
