Autocomplete in eclipse like in visual studio

Question

I know there is a Ctrl+Space dialog box that show the methods options that I have. But if i have a method that I not fully remember the name of it and I remember only a part of the name.

For example: There is a big static class which contains tons of methods starting with "add"

add1_Buffer, add2_Render, add7_Function and so on.. now I don't remember the fully name but i remember only "Buffer".

so I want to type "buffer" press Ctrl+Space and get the "add1_Buffer" method and all the names that contain the name "buffer" in it.

Edit: By the way, i need it on the OpenGL api where there are tons of functions and i am not familiar with all of them i know only keywords, I was searching for something like in visual studio that is really fast and easy.

Answer 1

If you start typing the a in add1_Buffer and then an upper B and then press Ctrl + Space you will find the correct method.

You can then continue writing the word Buffer if there are more methods starting with add and then having an upper B.

This means that you'll have to remember at least the first part of your method but hopefully you do.

Answer 2

Add the CodeRecommenders plugin to your installation. That has a subwords completion, which the normal JDT code completion does not have.
