Code assist (ctrl+space) doesn't work on Eclipse Kepler. This happened to me this morning.

    Surely the Eclipse mailing list/bug tracking system would be a better place for an Eclipse bug report...? – SimonC Jun 28 '13 at 06:19

    Eclipse does not qualify as " tools used primarily for programming"? Mind Blown. (abou the off-topic shutdown). – Mindwin Remember Monica Dec 09 '13 at 14:20

    It is mind boggling what you people will close as off topic... just reading the blurb it gives you about off topic questions should tell you it's NOT OFF TOPIC. good job people. +1 for good question and good answer to a PERTINENT PROGRAMMING RELATED QUESTION. – Kynian Dec 19 '13 at 02:30

This happend to me too.

For some reason Kepler changes the settings for Content Assist on Juno workspaces. Checking the Java Proposals checkbox in Preferences -> Java\Editor\Content Assist\Advanced should resolve this problem.

My workaround to this problem: it seems that some component of Eclipse Kepler doesn't like workspace from older Eclipse version. Starting Eclipse with new workspace and reimporting projects solved the problem.
