Maybe a stupid question but I could not find it anywhere on the web:
Currently activating code assist in .jsp filed (and various others) requires me to press Ctrl-Space. Is there any way to turn ON code assist to help without the necessity to hit this key combination.

I’d rather like MyEclipse to pop up code assist whenever it recognizes a “.” and other key elements.

Any idea?

Right now, the editor doesn’t support auto-activation of code assist. I’ve added it as an enhancement request to our internal tracking system. Thanks for the suggestion.

wonder why it works then:

<%
String s = “”;
s.
%>

and completions shows up…

or do I misunderstand this?

NOP

[Ralf Rottmann]

You don’t.

It is working with my version of Eclipse now, too. But I am sure that it did not yesterday, when I’ve posted this request.

Scott, what is the “intended” behavior…?

[No Operation]

maybe this is the reason:

Code completion refuses often to work, if you have compiler errors above the completion location.

Scott, what is the “intended” behavior…?

The intended behavior is that code completion should work after typing a ‘.’, as it is doing for Java so the behavior you’re now experiencing is the correct one.
