I have a workspace full of Eclipse RCP plugins and a single feature. I'm running the shipped version of Eclipse 3.0 on WinXP on top of JDK 1.4.2_04. I've had zero problems until today. All of the sudden, I'm having odd behavior where content assist just stop working (get "No completions available") for everything. For instance, I have two classes in a package within the same project. Trying to prompt on the constructor from one class to the other fails this way. (Implying it is not build path related). Both classes and constructors in this case are public. A few things of interest: - Shutdown and restart of Eclipse doesn't fix it. - Closing and reopening projects doesn't fix it. - I've tried a fresh workspace and pointed back to the same project directories (not part of the workspace) to no avail. - I unzipped a fresh copy of the Eclipse code and pointed it to the workspace. That seemed to work for a while and then stopped working again. - It seems in both cases that the failure followed a class being deleted? That is a guess, but I think that was what happened. - At one point, I was getting content assist popups on objects that would only show the methods available in java.lang.Object no matter that it was an instance of a subtype with meny more methods. I don't know if it is at all related, but for the last few release candidates, I've also had cases where a newly created class wouldn't show up in the package explorer until I shutdown and restarted Eclipse. I love Eclipse and I basically can't survive without content assist anymore. If there are workarounds for this, I'd love to get them. I do have some of the old workspaces, although I'm not sure that they would be useful to you.
Please disregard this. I'm an idiot. I didn't realize I had added a type filter that was a bit too broad. The restart scenario was because I hadn't imported my preferences again. Once I did, it *appeared* to break again. Sorry for the false alarm.
