I would like to disable the autocompletion of putting the variable type after a variable name when declaring new variables. Although this may seem like a viable option for most, the naming conventions where I work do not allow this. I am sure this is a simple option to deselect, but I just can not seem to locate it.

Thank you in advance.

  1. Menu Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist

  2. Uncheck Insert single proposals automatically enter image description here

  3. Click apply.

    I got exactly the same problem than E-Z, I see that the answer is validated, But in the "Advanced" screen is just a screen with many things to check or uncheck. What to be cheked or unchecked to stop the behaviour ? – taharqa Oct 24 '13 at 16:30
  • what version of eclipse are u using? – fmucar Oct 26 '13 at 17:12
  • I'm using Eclipse Kepler on Windows7 64 bit and Ubuntu 64 Bits. The behaviour I have is that I canno't remove the type suffix stuff without removing ALL java completions proposal. – taharqa Oct 28 '13 at 17:55
  • The behaviour seems to have changed over the years. Above is for eclipse v3.8 series. – fmucar Oct 30 '13 at 00:04
