Description Whitney Sorenson CLA 2009-09-21 10:54:14 EDT 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.43 Safari/530.5

When trying to invoke content assist after typing a few characters, like "Pro" [ctrl+space] there is a lag, then the error dialog warns that content assist took too long.

"Code assist took too long and is incomplete...."

This doesn't happen if content assist is launched at the end of an existing variable, like so:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.[ctrl+space]

Also, if content assist is launched in the editor with no current text, it also returns.

I currently am using the defaults and have tried turning off various types of proposals with no help. I was having the same problem on vista x64 and now I am using Windows 7 x64 with a 64b sun jvm (1.6.0_16).

Reproducible: Always

We need more info on your project. Do you have huge jar files in it ?
Do you have jar files that contains thousand types ?

Reducing severity to normal as this doesn't seem to be a common settings. Might reconsider once we get additional information.

I should mention that the same projects have absolutely no problem on other machines and on Eclipse 3.4

Satyam, could you engage this bug's submitter also
in evaluating the candidate fix for bug# 289057 ? Thanks.

We have made some performance improvements of content assist in 3.6 M6. Could you try that out and see if it helps?
Comment 5 Satyam Kandula CLA 2010-07-13 04:07:09 EDT 
Whitney, There have been some performance improvements done in this area. Please use the new build and see if the problem has gone. If not, feel free to reopen this bug with additional information.
