Eclipse auto suggesting and filling in variable names

Question

Okay, so my issue is when I am creating a variable, lets say for example "Object o" while I am typing "o" it'll suggest something like "object". Which is okay but when I press space it auto fills in the new name. Basically I don't want to turn off auto completion I just want to disable space auto filling the suggestion in. Even to disable variable naming suggestions would work.

I'm using Eclipse Juno Service Release 1.

Answer 1

I know it's an old question but since non of the answers here worked for me, and this problem was really annoying me too, I am adding solution that helped me.

In your Eclipse go to: Window/Preferences/Java/Editor/Content Assist

and enable:

Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter'

screen/shotted

Hopefully that will work for everyone!)

Answer 2

Go to Window/Preferences/Java/Editor/Content Assist and choose settings that works for you.

Answer 3

As there isn't any definitive solution for this yet, what I find works best is to disable the alphabetic characters from triggers:

Windows > Prefereces > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Auto activation triggers for Java

This will mean no class name / type completion, but method name completion will still be suggested when you pressed dot, however at least Eclipse stop messing with my variable name
