Auto Complete Woes

Does content assist work if you force it using Ctrl+Space?  For example:

Console.<ctrl+space>

In other words, is the problem with the content assist or the auto-activation?  At least for me, the former is working while the latter is not.

Hi,
Can someone tell me if there are outstanding issues with the auto complete
in the scala eclipse plugin?  I have tried anything and everything to get it
working but to no avail.  The JavaDoc highlights work but never code
completion.  I'll be happy to share more specific details of my setup if
that helps but in general, I have tried this on OS X and on Windows.  I have
used the latest stable plugin, I have used the nightly plugin.  I have ran
eclipse under 1.5 and 1.6.  I have wiped my workspace completely and
restarted from scratch using the standard tutorial as a
guide(http://www.scala-lang.org/node/94).  I have removed all plugins from
eclipse and restarted with just the scala plugin.  I'm really frustrated and
just hoping that someone can shed some light.  I found one person on irc
that said they had it working on their linux machine but they couldn't
really help us with our situation.
Thanks,
Larry

Yes that works on both the Mac and the Windows machine. I didn't understand
the diff between auto activation and content assist. This will work for
now. I saw the patch entered for getting auto activation working. I guess
it has not made it into the nightly build yet. Thanks for your help.

Out of curiosity,

When I type:

val c: Com<ctrl+space>

It shows me "classes" in scala root packages only (Comparable and Compiler) or someone else in packages already imported.

For example:
import scala.swing._
...
val c: Com<ctrl+space>

It shows me ComboBox, Comparable, Compiler, Component.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks.

P.S.:
Eclipse IDE 3.4.1
Scala Plugin 2.7.4.final
Java 1.6.0_10
openSUSE 11.0 32bit Linux 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae

Not yet, but don't worry, it's not been forgotten about.
