A few days ago I was using autocomplete features and Ctrl-click without any problem.
But now those features don't work anymore: the autocomplete shows up but is always empty, and Ctrl-click doesn't work because Eclipse doesn't recognize the classes anymore.
This doesn't even work for a class or function or variable in the same file, so I guess this is not a configuration problem, but maybe a cache that is corrupted?

Try this:
- Go to Preferences » Java » Editor » Content Assist » Advanced.
- Make sure Other Java Proposals is ticked/checked
If that does not work simply "close" the project and reopen it.
9This was a tough one for me to solve (running Juno Version: 4.2.1 Build id: M20120914-1800 on Mac OSX 10.6.8).
The steps I had to take were:
- Run Help » Check for updates and then restart to get to the most recent version
- As noted above, Go to Preferences » Java » Editor » Content Assist » Advanced
- Click everything Java related in both sections
- Restart again
On ubuntu studio the ctrl-space was assigned at the operating system level to change the keyboard input method. I had to change the Next Input Method in Settings Manager–>Keyboard Input Methods–>Next Input Method field.
I changed it from ctrl-space to ctrl-alt-shift-space.
