When I moved from microsoft development to java development I really missed one thing, visual assist.
For the ones not familiar with, visual assist is a add-in to visual studio that enhances content assist and syntax highlighting. The major plus of visual assist is that you don’t have to press ctrl+space all the time, instead it comes with suggestions as you type, so many times all you have to do is type two characters and press enter. No ctrl+space, no typing the whole word.
After a long search I found a feature request for this and a plugin called hyper assist that triggers content assist automatically as you type. Is not as smart as visual assist, but is a good help.
Just download it here and unpack in eclipse plugin folder. To activate press ctrl-alt-shif+Z.
