Description anton CLA 2004-12-07 17:43:44 EST 
Build Id: 200409161125

Type the following code: (line number provided)

01. String foo = "foobar";
02. 
03. for( ;; )
04. {
05.  foo.
----
at this point the Code Assist box will appear giving you a list of String
functions.  Continue typing:
----
05.       charAt( foo.
----
here, no Code Assist box pops up for some reason.  That's a problem.

Now, here's the kicker.
If we replace line 1 with 
01. while( true )
or
01. for( int i = 0; i < 10; )
or
01. for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )

then the code assist on the parameter call works.
but when for( ;; ) is  used which is perfectly valid 
Java code, then the code assist fails to appear.
