如何为Web开发人员配置My Eclipse Java EE IDE以列出Intelligence中的所有可能的构造方法

Question

I'm surprised by the default behavior of my Eclipse Java IDE Intelligence.

If you check the String class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html , you will see that there are many constructors. But when I type String s = new String( , it does NOT give me any constructor candidates/prototypes from the Intelligence, which is really disappointing me... (But if I type String. , it will list all possible candidates)

Do you guys know how to configure my IDE?

Also it's pretty bad that nothing is displayed in Intelligence when I type String s = new . It should give me the String constructor candidates.

BTW, I'm from C#, Microsoft Visual C# IDE is much better than Eclipse Java IDE in terms of the Intelligence.

Please help me find out where I could find the configure options so that my Eclipse IDE Intelligence works better.

You have to go to:

Window > Preferences > Java/Editor/Content Assist

and change the settings, or you can use ctrl + space .
