I don't know what your current status is wrt this problem. But I
continue to have a very difficult time getting code completion for java
to work on both of my machines (latest OS, latest Xcode, latest Java
including SDK, etc). I tried all the "tricks" and HAVE seen it working
at times, but it breaks pretty quickly.
It's very strange. It will (sometimes) work in some files when I first
create a project, depending on how I create it. But it soon reverts to
the "words-in-file" style of completion. I filed a bug and was even in
contact with one of the Xcode engineers and sent him a couple example
projects and screenshots. I don't know if he's made any progress on the
problem or if this is just something they've decided to table until
Xcode 2.0 and Tiger.
I haven't seen many people complain about this on this list. But I
suspect that is true for a couple reasons:
1. Many Java developers don't use Xcode because it doesn't offer stuff
like code completion, refactoring, etc. Preferring instead to use other
Java-specific IDE's like IDEA, Eclipse, etc. I've stayed with Xcode
hoping that their Java support will continue to improve. And I'm
willing to wait, but I'm afraid there may not be many other people out
there like me.
2. Java developers who have stuck with Xcode don't care about code
completion or simply prefer the "words-in-file" style of completion
anyway.
Apple uses bug reports to help prioritize the work they do. And if not
many people are reporting bugs about Java Code Completion, then it may
not be on their radar (no pun intended) as much as other work. So if
anyone reading this doesn't have perfectly working Java Code
Completion, file a bug, because Apple needs to know. Then again, maybe
Brent has it working fine, and I'm back to being the only person who
can't get it to work reliably.

I can't get code completion operating in Xcode.
There was a recent thread on the subject which was a bit confusing,
but offered no help.
Facts:
- words-in-file completion works
- neither java.* nor my classes autocomplete
- nothing appears in the class browser
- I am running: X 10.3.5, XCode 1.5, Java 1.4.2 + developer 1 update
(August 10/04)
I found an entry in someone's blog describing a way to get it working,
but stall where I'm supposed to unarchive the java docs -- the script
is not there, nor is the folder it is meant to be in
(/Developer/Docs/Java). Then again, the docs are already resident on
my system in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/docs
(1.4.2).
The release notes for Xcode 1.5 suggest code completion for Java just
works.
Re-building my index does nothing.
I'm not sure what to do next. Help appreciated.
Thanks,
