No completions available, strange Eclipse behavior

Question

I think I tried every suggested solution, but this Eclipse auto-complete problem is quite particular:

1. I launch Eclipse, content assist works fine;
2. I want to create a LineBorder in my Swing project;
3. I type LineBorder panelBorder = new Li and hit Ctrl+Space;
4. No popup appears and in the status bar it writes in red "No completion available";
5. I try Ctrl+Space on the elements where content assist worked fine 2 secs earlier, it doesn't work anymore.
6. I try the same thing on other project, on the same project after closing and reopening it, after cleaning it and content assist works just fine before I try using LineBorder constructor, then it crashes.

What I tried:

1. Reset to defaults in 'Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist->Advanced';
2. Check every single checkbox in the same menu;
3. Create a new workspace and try it there;
4. Delete .index files and 'savedIndexNames.txt' in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core;
5. Check for the duplicate libraries.

What I didn't try is reinstalling Eclipse. The version I use is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Juno).

Nothing seems to work.

UPDATE:

Checked the logs as iGili suggested. There are some exceptions raised at the time of failure:

org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: While executing the action, an exception occurred Caused by: org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: While executing the action, an exception occurred Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1     at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.InternalCompletionProposal.findConstructorParameterNames(InternalCompletionProposal.java:257)     at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.InternalCompletionProposal.findParameterNames(InternalCompletionProposal.java:1456)     at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.CompletionProposalLabelProvider.appendUnboundedParameterList(CompletionProposalLabelProvider.java:113)     at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.CompletionProposalLabelProvider.createMethodProposalLabel(CompletionProposalLabelProvider.java:272)     at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.CompletionProposalLabelProvider.createStyledLabel(CompletionProposalLabelProvider.java:570)     at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.LazyJavaCompletionProposal.computeDisplayString(LazyJavaCompletionProposal.java:262)     at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.LazyJavaCompletionProposal.getStyledDisplayString(LazyJavaCompletionProposal.java:238)     at org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.CompletionProposalPopup.handleSetData(CompletionProposalPopup.java:841)     at org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.CompletionProposalPopup.access$24(CompletionProposalPopup.java:831)     at org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.CompletionProposalPopup$3.handleEvent(CompletionProposalPopup.java:593)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1053)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1077)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1062)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table.checkData(Table.java:1166)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table.wmNotifyChild(Table.java:6749)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.wmNotify(Control.java:5534)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite.wmNotify(Composite.java:1896)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.WM_NOTIFY(Control.java:5086)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.windowProc(Control.java:4584)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas.windowProc(Canvas.java:341)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Decorations.windowProc(Decorations.java:1627)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.windowProc(Shell.java:2069)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.windowProc(Display.java:4989)     at org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.CallWindowProcW(Native Method)     at org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.CallWindowProc(OS.java:2440)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table.callWindowProc(Table.java:564)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table.callWindowProc(Table.java:430)     at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.windowProc(Control.java:4623) 

and it goes on, I don't know what is the convention for posting long stack traces

Answer 1

I had the same. Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced. Make sure "Java Proposals" checkbox is ticked at default content assist list (1st panel of the pop up).

By clicking "Restore Defaults" button at the bottom "Java Proposals" could be checked automatically.

Answer 2

Go back to the Advanced Content Assist preference page and Restore Defaults. Close the dialog using the OK button.
