The autocomplete of eclipse is not working now and I searched for hours but I couldn't find an answer to solve it. I haven't used it for long time then the first thing after opening it was to install SWT and windows builder even though I had swing installed. What I mean is, it is may possibly be because of some conflict caused by swt and swing(I read something about a conflict but I don't if this is possible).
Strange thing is it doesn't show anything when I press ctrl+space but when I go Edit-> Content Assist -> Default(it says Ctrl+Space nearby it), it shows things needed to be shown/works as desired.
public class Dsada {
String sssss;
public Dsada(){
sss //pressing ctrl+space is not working,Edit->ContentAssist->Default works fine
}
}
The solution is not to tick/untick some stuff under Windows->Preferences->...->Content Assist-> Advanced. I checked if "ctrl+space" is hijacked by some other thing which is not and checked keyboard language which is English (Those are suggested in mkyong).
I read something about a bug but I couldn't understand. I tried to delete eclipse and re-install again but I guess some settings just stayed in the machine so that it didn't work.
The hot key combination ctrl+space might be conflict with other settings in system if you are using windows.
Try modify this combination like alt+/, i always use this one since the first time i knew eclipse. It works well.
Hope it works for you.
