Re: Content Assist does not work for Javascript and HTML files

[Paul Beusterien]

Eclipse JSDT does not do JavaScript content assist.

However, there are at least two possible solutions:

The Aptana Studio Eclipse plugin is a closed source plugin does support content assist and I know that some people use it along with AppLaud, but I haven't tested the combination personally.

VJET is an open source Eclipse plugin that does content assist for jQuery. I'm not aware it has any mobile support, but it might be a framework that can easily be extended for PhoneGap and other mobile JavaScript APIs.

Hi, 

I have installed Eclipse, ADT, Web Editor and MDS AppLaud 1.2 plugins. 

I have created a template Android project but when I try to edit Javascript and HTML files being in Javascript perspective, the content assist does not work.

Can someone please help me how to get content assist to work for JS and HTML files? I have checked the JS preferences by going into Eclipse -> Preferences -> JavaScript -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced, they are all enabled still I do not get content assist to work.

Thanks

Standard eclipse web tools platform does do some js content assist.  It just doesn't read from other js files so can only help with vars in the same file.
