I recently downloaded Eclipse, and when I press Ctrl+Space, it does not show any proposal.

For example, if I have a variable named TotalElements and in another place in the code, when I type Tota and then press ctrl-space it should propose TotalElements. However, it does not do this.

I have gone to windows -> preferences > java -> editor -> advance. I have everything checked, and it still does not work.

Am I missing some plugins?

thanks in advance!

  • I have a similar problem, but it happens only when I open the Android Plugin and run an Android app. After that, the "Show Proposal" is not shown anymore and I have to restart my computer. Do you have the Android Plugin installed too? – Italo Borssatto Jan 25 '13 at 18:41
  • No i dont have the android plugin install. I search the web a lot to solve that issue, since it allows me to program much faster. But so far no luck – Alessandroempire Jan 25 '13 at 18:43

One workaround for this is to change the key binding.

In Preferences, select the General>Keys page. Search for the "Content Assist" command. In the Binding field, delete the existing binding, and press control-Tab. You should see "Ctrl+Tab". Press the Apply button.

Kindly make sure that your using correct explorer. Below is the reference image for you. If 'J' icon is hollow than no proposal will display. enter image description here
