Eclipse 3.3 content assist misbehaving

[framebuffer]

Hello!,

I just installed and tested Eclipse 3.3 with CDT 4. Here are the precise info:

CDT
Version: 4.0.1.200709241202
Build id: 200709241202

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.3.0.v20070607-7M7J-BIolz-OcxWxvWAPSfLPqevO
Build id: I20070625-1500

I successfully compiled a "hello world!" program.

Content assist is not working though. I tried restarting the IDE but it didn't solve the problem. I can get it to work from the right click menu, but it does not work otherwise.

I am using Ubuntu 7.04, updated.

Other shortcuts are working though, for example, ctrl+shift+f for formatting and ctrl+/ for commenting. The only thing that is not working is ctrl+space.

Ironically, when i type std::{ctrl+space} it works!

Also, If I declare a class and access its members, it works.

If on the other hand I declare a variable and try to complete its name it does not work.

For example:

class Test
{
public:

int Number;
};

If I type Te{It wont work}
but

Test foo;
foo.{works}

Please help.

Are you using sun java sdk package or gcj instead? Just type
java -version in a terminal to know. If it is the second case you will find a lot of problems, so I recommend you to install sun java sdk package:

sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk for java5

I am using sun java 6 package and i have also set linux to use this. Also, if it helps, I have not installed eclipse in the 'bin' directory. Its in my home.
