I have noticed in Eclipse that content assist kicks in after inserting -> or . or ::
I really like this feature, but I was hoping that it would be a little more flexible and auto activate after every 2-3 character typed. An example of this is in Code::Blocks. It allows you to auto activate content assist after a certain number of chars typed. Another example of this is in Visual Studio while using Visual Assist X, "Whole Tomato".
Is it possible to somehow enable this for Eclipse?

To enable the Content Assist window to open automatically, go to the Content Assist Preferences page, accessed from Window | Preferences | PHP | Editor | Content Assist and mark the 'Enable auto-activation' checkbox.
Step 1: Open your Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite, then go to the Window > Preferences as shown in the below image. Step 2: In the next screen go to the Java > Editor > Content Assist > Auto activation triggers for Java as shown in the below image.
I havn't seen a setting to auto-activate the content assist, for other than . :: and -> However, Hit CTRL+Space to autocomplete or bring up the content assist , e.g. after you typed 2-3 chars.
