is there Eclipse useful Add On for AutoComplete function like xCode?

Question

I've started up with developing Java.

However, These days I've started iPhone project and gave me lazy writing code;auto code generate functionality in xCode.

Are there any non-pay free edition add-on exist that does similar to xCode? I mean, I do know Eclipse already has partial auto method look up when you put '.' (dot) token after class name which shows the list of methods.

thank you all.

The functionality is called content assist in Eclipse. It comes as default.

To trigger content assist, normally you have to click Ctrl+Space (Windows/Linux). But as you said, on Java it will be auto-activated when user press ..

You can however change this behavior. Go to Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist and change the Auto activation triggers for Java.

For example to get the behavior of xCode, you could change it to ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
