Hi,
Does anybody know how to activate intellisense functionality in eclipse,
like there is in Visual Studio?
To be more precise, when you type the name of a declared object followed
by a period, then a window appears with a list of available methods and
properties?

In Eclipse, the feature is called Content Assist.
Ctrl+Space will invoke it anywhere. It should automatically appear at
certain times, like after you type "someObject."
You can configure its behavior in the preferences, under Java > Editor >
Content Assist.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks for the replies folks, however I still can't get this to work.
E.g. I type the line:
System.out.printf( "Sum is %d\n", sum );
Now if I position the cursor just instead of the period, delete it and
type it in again, i should get a window with all the available methods of
the System.out object yes? When I press ctrl + Space. I get a window,
where it says "No default proposals"
I have all the seting correctly set in the Java - Editor section of the
Preferences. Maybe I don't have my build/include directories set properly?
any ideas?
TIA
Eamonn
