Enhance the code auto-Prompt function of eclipse and myeclipse

This article reposted csdn elifefly. Thank you!

By default, the code prompt function of eclipse and myeclipse is much worse than that of Microsoft Visual Studio, mainly eclipse. myeclipse has many options which are disabled by default, you need to manually configure the configuration by the developer. If you are not clear about eclipse, the code prompt function of myeclipse is as powerful as that of Microsoft Visual Studio.
First, let's give a simple example to illustrate the problem. For example, in eclipse and myeclipse code, you cannot get code prompts by playing foreach or switch ), let alone others, and get very friendly code prompts in Microsoft Visual Studio. In fact, in eclipse, the code prompt function in the myeclipse code is usually clicked "." by default, and the code prompt is usually clicked.
Principle: The "Auto activation triggers for Java" option refers to the option that triggers the code prompt. "to". abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (, "refers to 26 letters and ., (These symbols trigger the code display function. (You can rest assured later.) How can I configure the code prompting function of eclipse and myeclipse? The following describes the procedure (note that myeclipse 6.0.1 is used for my explanation ):
1. Open myeclipse 6.0.1, and then "window" → "Preferences"
2. Select "Java", expand, "Editor", and select "content assist ".
3. Select "content assist" and then see the "auto activation triggers for Java" option under "auto-activation" on the right. In fact, it refers to the "." symbol that triggers the code prompt. 4. The "Auto activation triggers for Java" option should be followed by an ABC letter after "." To facilitate later search and modification. Then, "Apply" and click "OK ".
5. Then, select "file"> "Export", select "perferences" in the pop-up window, and click "Next ".
6. Select the export file path, export it to the desktop, enter "test" as the file name, and click "save ".
7. Find the file "test. EPF" you just saved on the desktop, right-click and choose "open with Notepad ".
8. You can see a lot of information about configuring myeclipse 6.0.1.
9. Press the "Ctrl + F" shortcut key, enter ". ABC", and click "find next ".
10. Find the configuration information of ". ABC.
11. Change ". ABC" to ". abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (,". Save and disable "test. EPF ".
12. return to the myeclipse 6.0.1 interface, "file" → "import", select "perferences" in the pop-up window, click "Next", and select the modified "test. open the EPF file and click Finish ". This step is similar to the preceding export step.
13. Finally, of course, the code is tested. Create a project and a class. Enter switch and foreach in the Code for testing. You will immediately find that there are prompts, and there will be a lot of related prompts no matter which letter you typed, It is smooth and convenient.
Conclusion: The "auto activation triggers for Java" option refers to the option that triggers the code prompt. "to". abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (, "refers to 26 letters and ., (These symbols trigger code prompts. By the way, you can modify the class name and interface name highlighted in different colors. You can configure it in "Java"> "enditor"> "syntac ", expand "Java"> "classes" on the right side, check the "enable" option, and select your preferred color. Of course there are other related color configurations. Not to mention it. In fact, there are many items that can be configured in the "Preferences" to optimize myeclipse. Specifically, You need to configure them according to your personal preferences.
