If it s not working even when you already have Code Assist enabled  Eclipse s configuration files are probably corrupt  A solution that worked for me  on Eclipse 3 5 2  was to    Close Eclipse  Rename the workspace directory  Start Eclipse   This creates a new workspace directory   Import  with copy  the Java projects from the old workspace

I once had the same problem  and then I searched and found this and it worked for me   I had got some of the boxes unchecked  so I checked them again  then it worked  Just go to      Windows   Preferences   Java   Editor   Content Assist   Advanced   and check the boxes which you want

d3dave s answer is cool  However theGreenGarbage mentioned an issue about it which I too find rather annoying  So here s one that doesn t immediately suggest something after     sign and when typing blank space   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz    -            amp    What I did was simply remove the space and     chars from the array     Alternatively if you want suggestions when typing blank space  but not after     sign   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz     -            amp

Tony is a pure genius  However to achieve even better auto-completion try setting the triggers to this   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz      -            amp     specifically aranged in order of usage for faster performance

You don t have to press CTRL   space but maybe the delay is too big or you don t like the trigger  default is       Go to     Window -  Preferences -    Java Editor Content Assist   And change the settings under Auto Activation to your likings   If this does not work for windows users then see this answer

I ve get closer to VisualStudio-like behaviour by setting the  Autocomplete Trigger for Java  to     abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ   and setting delay to 0   Now I d like to realize how to make it autocomplete method name when I press   as VS s Intellisense does
