Answer 2

To be precise this steps i usually take when such kind of bug come in my eclipse kepler,juno,gallileo(Tested)

1. New WorkSpace

   Create a totally new workspace and import your existing project using import option general "import exisiting one".

2. Content Assist setup

   Go to Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced. Make sure “Other Java Proposals” is checked. Saying configure the behavious of program.

3. No Overriding of ctrl+space

   Make sure (Ctrl + Space) combination key is not overridden by other application. Like a snapshot taker at my side did it.
