Auto-Activation of Content Assist

+1 on this issue.  I never filed a ticket because I assumed that it was something funky with my environment and/or that current build.  We should probably enter this in Trac.

To clarify the problem:

val test = List(1, 2, 3)
test.

After entering this code, I would expect a popup showing List's methods and fields, but nothing appears.  (no errors either, so I suppose that's good)

Hi,

the auto-activation of content assist doesn't work (for me) in the latest
nightlies (OS X, eclipse 3.4.2, plugin b20090331) - should I file a ticket,
or might I be doing anything wrong? Activating it using the keyboard
shortcut works fine.

Otherwise, the eclipse plugin is working a lot better now, after the fixes
to #1669 / #1763 / #1776 - thanks!!

I have created a ticket for this issue it's #1855:
http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/1855

Attached to the ticket is a patch that should fix the issue. The fix is hard
coded to use a '.' and the delay before displaying the content assist is
fixed at 200ms

Tickets with patches attached would normally get especially prompt
attention, but I'm on holiday until the middle of next week right at
the mo' ... will deal with this one as soon as I get back ...

Many thanks!

Thanks, but why not use the preferences in "Java" - "Editor" - "Content Assist",instead of hard-coding?

Good idea, I wanted to do that as well, however I just started learning eclipse/plugin development and haven't learned how to do that yet. I wanted to try to patch up other bugs that are causing problems first. Eventually, when I have the time to do it right, I was hoping to come back and implement the functionality you suggest.
