How to tell Eclipse to show content assist automatically?

When I am typing Eclipse does not automatically shows content assist, but only after I press Ctrl + Space. I used to type class name and Eclipse gave good proposals automatically.
But now it is not working.

Solution

  • Go to, Window >> Preferences >> Java >> Editor >> Content Assist >> Auto activation triggers for Java, and enter .abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ , this will trigger the auto activation for class names, methods, etc.
