no auto completion on Eclipse after upgrade to ubuntu 14.04

Question

Eclipse (both Juno and Kepler) started crashing after the Ubuntu upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04. They're not crashing after adding:

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

to configuration/config.ini

(from https://askubuntu.com/questions/457506)

But now the auto-completion has gone. I updated to java 8, added org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/bin/xulrunner to configuration/config.ini, using both xulrunner 20 and 29. To no avail. (from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776 )

Even a re-install of Kepler doesn't fix the issue.

What can I do to make it work?

Answer 1

Solved it. It turns out that the content assist was there all along (it's working when selected from the context menu). But CTRL+space was highjacked by the input method (IBus). I've deleted the key in the input method and got the content assist back straight away.

Answer 2

I'm running Kepler and Aptana Studio in Ubuntu 14.04 64 without any issues. I'm using the Oracle 1.7 JDK/JRE, which I installed manually. That includes creating links to java, javaws in /usr/local/bin. Other than that, I haven't tweaked anything I can think of. I hope that helps; telling you it works for me isn't much help...
