Thanks, it is enough for my purposes. But in some cases is more useful to

The bug was reported before 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=263165) and still was not

I have more details about this behavior. It occurs only if the project PHP

In this case the Code Assist reports 'No completions available' error.
