I just upgraded (really installed) MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench Version: 8.6.

The autocomplete menus for plain java code does not come up.
Previously I was using 7.5.

Any ideas if there is some default setting turning it off?

Mike

Mike,
Can you give some more information on this?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2. Can you clarify if "Basic proposals" is checked under Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced?
3. Are there any errors logged in the log file located at workspace dir > .metadata > .log when CA is invoked? Please clear your log file, save it and then ivoke CA to get the relevant errors.
Also, can you switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists?

Shalini,
Thanks for helping.

Mike,
Can you switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists?
Can you send us some screen shots showing Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced and some sample lines of code that you are testing? You can use the PM button at the end of the post to send the screen shots.

Shalini,
I switched to a new workspace and imported my projects. That fixed it. Thanks I have no more questions/issues.

Mike

Mike,
Good to know that you are all set.
Do let us know if you have any issues.
