Sometimes a little bulb icon appears in the current edit field in Eclipse. Hint says "Content Assist Available".
What does this bulb mean?
(P.S. I would not ask if Ctrl-Space invoked some content assistance)
It is supposed to mean that content assist is available. However as you have found it does not seem to function on this field in the extension point editor.

I am just getting started with Visual Studio Code. I am really liking it better than the full Visual Studio, but I was wondering how to show the object browser?
Along the left icon bar where I would expect it to be, all I see is Explorer, Search, Source Control, Run, and Extensions. Then at the bottom are Accounts and Settings.
How do I show the object browser? Is there a setting somewhere, or do I need to install an extension, or what?
I found it.
Just in case anyone is as blind as I am and stumbles across this question:
Under the "Explorer" button on the left. Way down at the bottom there is an "OUTLINE" section. Twirl that open and there it is!
Because I could not find it using the explanation above, I found the Object Browser under the View menu, somewhere at the middle of the list.
Or...you can press CTRL+ALT+J

This may seem very small thing but it annoys me much since I'm used to code in Eclipse. When I double click a java source file in Eclipse it shows classes inside the file (expanding contents of java file) as marked by red circle in the image below. I wanna disable this behavior, I have used Eclipse for a long time and it has never been like this.
You can go to Prefences --> Content Assist and Enable/Disable the contents of Java file

This is a bug in Eclipse, and several people have reported it, e.g., here.
One workaround is to change the "open mode" in the General preferences to single click", which does not have this annoying behaviour.
Maybe I've broke some stuff in settings or something like this but Eclipse starts to show in editor ONLY the function/method that chosen in outline pane. No other code showing in editor. Unchecking "Link with editor" was not helpful. Once thing is helping is reopening of file. But once clicking something in Outline pane all code except chosen function disappearing again so Outline becomes quite useless pane.
Does somebody knows where I could turn off such behavior to make it acting as it was - just jumping to selected function but not hide other code.
Thanks in advance! And sorry for my english.
Sorry everybody for posting so silly question. However, maybe it would be helpful for somebody to know - just found why Eclipse was acting like I've described.
Settings->Javascript->Editor->Only show the selected element. Uncheck this.
Don't even know why it needs such strange settings option...
Thanks again!
I am in making of an analog Clock in Eclipse. After very hard struggle I am unable to create it. The reason is Error/Problems in Eclipse I want to know how to clear all Error one by one or all in once ?
The main documentation for the latest Eclipse Luna 4.4 is: "Quick Fix "
Left click on the light bulb or invoking Ctrl+1 (Edit > Quick Fix) brings up the proposals for the problem at the cursor position.
Each quick fix shows a preview when selected in the proposal window.
Some quick fixes offer to fix all problems of the same kind in the current file at once.
The information text in the proposal window contains this information for all applicable proposals. To fix all problems of the same kind, press Ctrl+Enter.
Remember: this won't apply to all types of errors, only to certain errors.
I am using a plugin for Eclipse (The Eclipse plugin of SDCC).
This works fine (so far) but the problem is the inline assembly..
it is pretty annoying that the parser marks this code as syntax error
and furthermore that it marks symbols which are defined in a header file.
Therefore I want to extend the plugin a little bit such that the parser(s)
ignore the inline assembly part since the SDCC compiler will complain about it
anyway if it finds an error.
I've seen that there is an error parse since CDT 7.0 but I am not sure if this is
the right place to look at.
Can anyone help?
Place mouse pointer over highlighted code, then press F2 to have focus in popup suggestion window. At left corner of this window exists icon, click on such icon opens problematic item.
By setting/removing checkbox 'Text As', editor with highlighted code will be change view as well.
Usually they are all accessible through Window->Preferences->General->Editors->-Text Editors-> Annotations.
I used it on kepler CDT.
