Eclipse/Java code completion not working

Asked 2009-05-26T00:43:45.363

I've downloaded, unzipped and setup Eclipse 3.4.2 with some plugins (noteable, EPIC, Clearcase, QuantumDB, MisterQ).

Now I find when I'm editing Java projects the code completion is not working. If I type String. and press ctrl+space a popup shows "No Default Proposals" and the status bar at the bottom shows "No completions available".

Any ideas?

I'm adding an answer here in case someone else finds this on Google. Same symptoms; different problem. For me, the type caches had become corrupt.

  • Quit Eclipse
  • Go to workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core
  • Remove *.index and savedIndexNames.txt
  • Restart Eclipse and search Ctrl+T for the offending type. The indexes will be rebuilt.
