Thread: Fully automatic Content Assis in Eclipse. Is it possible?

Hi all,

I've found how to make content assist appear automatically when, e.g. I type the name of some class instance. It will show all public methods it contains and so on. But I want it to show up automatically every time it's possible, for example: I write something like this:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class Test extends JFrame
{
	private JTextField tf;
 
	public Test() 
	{
		super("Title of the window");
		this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
 
		tf = new JTextField("TextField Content", 15);
		tf.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 12));
 
		this.add(tf);
 
 
	}
}

See, I have a tf variable. When I type "add" I want content assist to show the names of all objects I have in my class and that I can add to the screen.
Or if I start to write the name of the declared variable, I want Eclipse to show the auto completion prompt for it and if I press enter to complete it.
Right now it all works only if I press CTRL + SPACE.


p.s. I know it's not very important but I got used to such IDE behavior working in FlashDevelop for a long time and I'd like to have the same in Eclipse
