We have a set of API(customised) which we are using in our application.How can I manage to get the code assist for this API using MyEclipse.The JRE which Eclipse is using is already have the jar file associated with this API.

Is there anything else that I should configure in order to get the code assist working for this.

Thanks
Rakesh.

Rakesh,
Adding the JARs to your build path will provide autocomplete support for Java and JSP source code right off the bat. If you want to get Javadoc displayed, you need to attach the source to the JARs.

Riyad,

I already have the JAR files in the build path,but still I am unable to get the code assist feature to work.When I press the keys SHIFT + ENTER to get the code assist, I get the message “Content Assist not available at current location” at the bottom of the editor.

Is there anything wrong that I am doing.
Can you help me with this.

Rakesh.

Rakesh,
Please provide a snippet of the file you are trying to edit, and detail where you are pressing autocomplete (default: CTRL-SPACE)

This is happening with me too, I had MyEclipse 4.0GA and it didn’t have the content assist (code completion), now I installed 4.1GA and the same problem working with the JSPs, no code completion (content Assist) and I’m getting the same error message on the bottom of the IDE, “Content Assist not available at the current location”.

Are we missing an update/service pack to install, but I don’t see any like that on this site.

Please advice of a fix.

Thanks.

Ninos,
My question to you will be the same as it was for Rakesh, please provide a snippet of code from your page and indicate where you are trying to get autocomplete. Also please tell us what kind of project this is (Web or Java) and also follow the guidelines asking for MyEclipse > About > Configuration Details so we have all the information we need to help you out.

Riyad,

I fixed my issue by deleting the project and recreating it again, the project was a J2EE Web project but aparently when doing the upgrade to 4.1 the effects weren’t taken into considration?

But anyhow here’s my system info for your records, thanks.
