Eclipse autocomplete broken

Question

Eclipse autocomplete is not working and is always telling me merely "No Default Proposals".

This is true whether I try to autocomplete for code under java.util or in my own project.

I'm running Eclipse 3.5.2 on Lucid Lynx using java-6-openjdk.

Any ideas?

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced

All the Java options were turned off. Don't know how this happened or why it's not always on :o/

I just updated the Android Support Library within the SDK and the auto-complete stopped working. It turns out all the Java options got turned off. Thanks for the tip! – Aaron C Oct 28 '12 at 05:33

Open eclipse and go to the following:

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced

Select all checkboxes and click Ok.

Not sure why you would post the exact same answer, more than a year later? – Sander Verhagen Jan 29 '14 at 07:37
@SanderVerhagen I'd call it like i see it. (e.g. reputation farming XD) – Lorenzo Jul 01 '21 at 07:38
