Eclipse implements the keyword auto-completion feature

By default, Eclipse, MyEclipse's Code hints feature is much worse than Microsoft Visual Studio, primarily Eclipse, myeclipse itself has many options that are turned off by default, to be manually configured by the developer himself. If the developer is not sure, Eclipse is not known, and the MyEclipse Code hints feature is as powerful as the code hinting features of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Let's start with a simple example of the problem, such as in Eclipse, MyEclipse code, playing a foreach,switch and so on, is not able to get the code hint (do not trust themselves to try), the others, not to mention, but in the Microsoft Visual Inside the Studio is a very friendly code hint. In fact, Eclipse, the code hint function in the MyEclipse code is usually the point ".", which is usually a point "." Before a code hint is available.

Principle: The "Auto Activation triggers for Java" option refers to the option to trigger the code hint and "." Change to ". ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (," means that it encounters 26 letters and.) (These symbols trigger the code hinting function.) (specifically, say, rest assured) enhanced Eclipse, MyEclipse code hints function, specifically how to configure? The following steps are started (note I use MyEclipse 6.0.1 to do the explanation):


1. Open MyEclipse 6.0.1, then "window" → "Preferences"


2. Select "Java", expand, "Editor", and select "Content Assist".

3. Select "Content Assist" and see the "Auto" under "auto-activation" on the right, right

Activation triggers for Java "this option. Actually, it means "." is the trigger code hint. This symbol.


4. "Auto Activation triggers for Java" option in "." After the addition of ABC letters, convenient to find the following changes. Then "Apply" and click "OK".


5. Then, "File" → "Export", in the pop-up window select "Perferences", click "Next".


6. Select the export file path, I export to the desktop, enter "test" as the file name, click "Save".


7. On the desktop, locate the file "TEST.EPF" that you just saved, and right-select "Open with Notepad."


8. You can see a lot of configuration MyEclipse 6.0.1 information


9. Press "CTRL + F" shortcut key, enter ". ABC" and click "Find Next".


10. Find the configuration information for ". ABC" as follows:


As follows:


11. Change ". abc" to ". ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (,", Save, Close "TEST.EPF").


12. Go back to the MyEclipse 6.0.1 interface, "file" → "Import", in the pop-up window select "Perferences", click "Next", select just in the modified "TEST.EPF" file, click "Open", click "Finish". This step is similar to the export step above.


13. Finally, of course, the code is tested. Just create a new project and create a new class. Test in code input Switch,foreach and so on. You will immediately find that the hint, and no matter which letter will have a lot of relevant hints, very smooth, very convenient.


Summarize:

The "Auto Activation triggers for Java" option refers to the option to trigger the code hint and "." Change into

". ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (," means that it encounters 26 letters and.) (These symbols trigger the code hinting function.)

Modify the class name, interface name, etc. in different colors highlighted, can be configured in the "Java" → "Enditor" → "Syntac", the right to expand "Java" → "classes", tick "Enable" this option, choose their favorite color.
