By default, Eclipse's code hinting feature is much worse than Microsoftvisualstudio, primarily because eclipse itself has many options that are turned off by default, and are manually configured by the developer themselves. If the developer is not sure, it is not known that the Code hints feature of Eclipse is as powerful as the Microsoftvisualstudio code hints.

Let's start with a simple example to illustrate the problem, such as in Eclipse, code, Foreach,switch and so on, is unable to get the code hint, the other is not to mention, and in Microsoftvisualstudio is very friendly code hints. In fact, the code hinting feature in the Eclipse code is usually the point ".", which is usually a point "." Code hints will be available.
