Three Wise Men

Do you use Eclipse ? Do you use Code Assist? You don’t ? You should :)

You will write your code much faster, and since you will be using CTRL + SPACE combination you will be heard in the office

I use Eclipse daily and I must say that I am pleased with it. Until the content assist functionality hangs up. Then I am not as pleased as I could have been if it worked. I have to kill the Eclipse process and restart Eclipse or wait a minute or ten for the hang-up to end.

Now until today I couldn’t find the problem for that. As it happened some time ago I installed some plugins for Mylyn which in the process not knowingly changed some of the default setting in my Eclipse preferences. I don’t use Mylyn for task management. Changing the preferences to default values solved my problem.

So if Eclipse starts to hang up during usage of content assist check the:

Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist->Advanced section of Eclipse properties.

Enable Other Java Properties and Type Properties. If you are using templates in your code then enable Template Properties.

This should solve the problem with content assist hang-ups.
