Eclipse doesn’t autocomplete and find references anymore

A few days ago I was using autocomplete features and Ctrl-click without any problem.

But now those features don’t work anymore: the autocomplete shows up but is always empty, and Ctrl-click doesn’t work because Eclipse doesn’t recognize the classes anymore.

This doesn’t even work for a class or function or variable in the same file, so I guess this is not a configuration problem, but maybe a cache that is corrupted?

Answer

Try this:

  • Go to Preferences » Java » Editor » Content Assist » Advanced.
  • Make sure Other Java Proposals is ticked/checked

If that does not work simply “close” the project and reopen it.
