a few hours ago I managed to crash my complete Eclipse in such a way that I needed to reinstall it from scratch.
After a while I noticed that one cool feature is missing: It was a quick fix options for unit tests, like this:
Besides these 4 options, I had a fifth: "Create local mock" or similar. That option would've created in the images example the line
CatalogueArticle cataArticle = mock(CatalogueArticle.class);
I really miss this and I am not able to google this little feature ... came it with MoreUnit? (doesn't seem so as I use it already), did I write it myself (don't even know how, so I doubt that), can I check some preferences to enable it, ...)
I hope someone knows this feature and can tell me how to enable it again :)
You are looking for the plugin "Mockito Quick Fix Tools". You find it on the Marketplace.

There is a new autocomplete in Xcode. Probably might be useful because it checks not only beginning of names etc. But I found that very often it doesn't find a class name or a const name at all etc. I need to type in entire name by myself. Over all I found it makes my life harder and coding more time consuming. Is there a way to switch to the old way it used to work?
Xcode 7.3.1
In Xcode > Preferences > Text Editing
uncheck Enable type-over completions
restart Xcode
It seems that clearing the checkbox "Enable type-over completions" in XCode -> Preferences -> Text Editing does the trick. At least in my case autocompletion fell back to a sort of old way, so it could autocomplete the class name that I had to type in manually before that.
This is by no means an adequate solution, BUT it has allowed me to (barely) maintain my sanity the past few days:
After every build, you need to trash your Derived Data folder. You can find this folder in Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Derived Data. Just trash the whole thing and it'll kick off a re-indexing step that should restore proper autocomplete functionality.
Unfortunately, I've found that once I build, the autocomplete behavior reverts to its broken state.
just open Xcode derived data folder and delete the folder
/Users/yourUserName/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
then restart Xcode, now autocompletion works like a charm
I have the impression that some 'parts' of autocompletion simply fail after a while. I use to restart the Mac to get it back working. But sometimes it fails quite soon again.
Maybe the answer of #Alex Bykov combined with a restart will do the trick.
Anyway: auto-completion of Xcode always was crap. AppCode used to get it much better. Unfortunately not yet with swift.
Closed Xcode, opened Xcode, let it index, it worked.
it doesn't find a class name
As a work-around, you can try to press
Command + Shift + K and Command + B
Several times，it works temporarily.
Xcode 7.3.1
I will share another posible reason, that after couple of days we found out. We have multiple schemes, and in one of them, the bridging header was importing a file that didn't exist anymore. So, it didn't break while compiling and running (the header belongs to another scheme) but it caused the autocompletion to break (couldn't find any objective-c class).
Hope it would help someone!
After having tried different methods:
Delete Derived Data
Switching Module Enabled off in Build Settings
Full Clean
Relaunch
Only this worked:
Find any commented out (/* abc */) code after #end in your files and delete.

In my case, other projects were auto-completing correctly. If all your projects fail to correctly predict code, then it might be a different issue, and the other answers might work.
I ran into this issue while trying to make an OS X app and I was able to fix this issue by making sure that the Xcode 7.3 documentation and the OS X 10.11.4 documentation was actually downloaded. Doing this fully restored my autocomplete functionality. My full instructions are below as well as in my answer to a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39420664/3444925
I had this problem myself and after looking through all the other similar questions & answers about this, I couldn't find a solution. However, I finally found what worked for me.
Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Components. There you will probably find a screen that looks like the following:
This shows that the documentation has not has not been downloaded and therefore, any attempts to re-index or re-build the application without downloading the documentation would prevent you from being able to use the autocompletion functionality.
Once I downloaded the Xcode 7.3 Documentation and the OSX 10.11.4 Documentation, this was enough for me to get the autocomplete functionality back (I was trying to build an OS X app, so feel free to download as much documentation as is relevant for you).
I didn't run into this until I created a couple of new class files. Other classes worked fine, but autocomplete would NOT work for anything in the new files...
FIX (for me) - I had to add those files to ALL of my targets, including the unit test targets even though I wasn't using them yet.
I have this for every categories, it's all blank except the one i select, the only thing i think may have caused problems is the fact that i've used this plugin before. How can i fix this ?
Changing back to "Metal" Preferred look and feel seems to have fixed the problem
The Praxis LIVE look and feel - plugin detail itself states :
...
Because of the way this plugin is used in Praxis LIVE it overrides all
look and feel settings when installed - you'll need to uninstall it to
switch back to another look and feel. Treat this as beta, or even
alpha! Some things might not show correctly yet, and certain icons
still need fixing.
(emphasis mine).
As this is still in it's beta/alpha testing stage, I'd suggest you to uninstall this plugin, and switch back to the other look and feel.
I'm currently looking for ways to automate some tasks in Eclipse.
For instance, let's say I have a couple of ant files that I'll want to run a couple of times per hour. Being able to assign a hot key to each one of them, so that I could easily run them without having to click, bring the context menu up and click again would bring joy into my life.
Other example would be build/run configurations. I have a couple of them on my project and I'd love to have a way of running each one of them with a different hot key configuration.
Moreover, the very nature of a project I'm currently working on involves a lot of experimentation and trying, so having to click and use my mouse a lot is definitely driving me insane. There are other similar things that I would like to get automated as well (for example, each time I do a commit I'd like to also run some command over my project's folder, etc).
Is there some tool for Eclipse(or outside it) that'll somehow allow me to automate these kinds of tasks? Would Vim for Eclipse help me anyhow?
After some years coding I feel like I have hit a stone wall. I came to the conclusion that I am losing way too much time with my mouse. Yes, I know that a lot of Eclipse actions have correspondent hot keys, but a lot of others don't. I want the ultimate solution !
There are several solutions:
Use a console. Consoles allow to remember the last commands (on Unix, you can even search). So instead of mouse-fu, it's Alt-TabUpReturn
There was Eclipse Monkey to script Eclipse. Not sure if it still works but it might.
On Sourceforge is Practical Macro. No documentation that I could find, though.
EclipseShell might also work, not sure.
Update (Year 2022). Aaron has provided many options in his answer. It seems any of those are working. I am going to try the old ant builder.

im just wondering as I couldn't find an answer on google (well, maybe Ive been trying the wrong keywords here >.< )...
A thing I've always dreamt about was a stack/pile cut feature which remembers the - uhm, lets say - 10 last things I've cut out or copied for pasting... Is there such a feature and if so, what is it called?
furthermore - is there a possibility to include your own suggestions for autocompletion? I'm not asking for much, just e.g. a while(true) suggestion instead of or extending the default ones...
Probably this should be migrated to superuser, but Im quite uncertain as this is somehow more programming related...
Thanks ever so much :-)
OK, the first part of the question I could answer myself:
there are templates (Prefs -> Java (or whatever) -> Editor -> Templates) where you can add your custom tags :-) quite fancy this one! (always wanted to type "forever" and get a for(;;) loop)...
so, I did some digging and found that some people refer to that kind of feature as a paste stack...
for windows users clipX will do the trick for general use (as well as in an IDE). for the use in eclipse only the best I could come up with is ViPlugIn which enables a Vim-styled cut, copy & paste feature which gives you some registers where you can store your "pastries" :-)
unfortunately this doesn't come for free (it's 20USD) - will work (AFAIK) without a license but you will be prompted a "missing license" each time you start up eclipse...
The first feature you've meantioned is often called "Multiple Clipboards." I've found two plugins that do the job, but didn't like either. (IIRC neither could interact both ways with the system clipboard.)
I know some (crazy) people want to move from IntelliJ to Eclipse. On my side, I am moving the "normal way", i.e. from Eclipse 3.3 to IntelliJ 8.0.1
I really like it, but I am a little lost sometimes.
Do you know any specific IntelliJ guide or tutorial created specifically for Eclipse users?
For example, after some tests, I missed some options usefull on Eclipse (I don't say they don't exist in IntelliJ, I just say that I didn't find them !):
Automatic insert at the correct position of the ';' character
Actions made on save (format, reorganize and clean imports)...
Check this FAQ in the Jetbrains home page: link. It is not a guide or tutorial, but it goes through some basic concepts that Eclipse users should accustom themselves with when they move.
For automatically inserting ';' at the correct position (as well as braces) the last time I've looked (probably Idea 6, maybe 7) it didn't exist. My colleagues always wonder why I insert ';' in stupid places when I'm pairing with them. I told them to notify me when this feature becomes available in Idea, but until now they didn't.
There's the two topmost related questions (see right column) covering "Things possible in A that aren't possible in B" for both directions - you might find ideas there as well as in the comments to the answers where people tell you what to alternatively do.
Edit (maybe this is better here than in the comments);
...it seems to be somewhat possible. See the comment to my answer to the related question: . One could argue that CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER is less intuitive than ';', but in Idea you get used to type a lot more of such shortcuts than in eclipse... This comes closest to the functionality you asked for. Hope it helps...
