I use the eclipse javascript neon version. When I type do and press Ctrl + Space there appears the suggestion for do while but none for document. If I used document once it appears in future uses but I want that it suggests all the possible reasonable continuations. In a JS Project -> JavaScript Resources are two libraries. ECMAScript Built-In Library and ECMA 3 Browser Support Library. In the second are all the methods I'm interested but they don't show up in the auto-completion before I use the explicitly.

Things that I read on stackoverflow that did not work:

  • Window → Preferences → JavaScript → Editor → Content Assist → Restore Defaults. For some it resolved the problem but for me it did not work.
  • Make new Project and copy files
  • Window → Preferences → JavaScript → Editor → Content Assist → Advanced → Other JavaScript Proposals are already checked.

Unfortunately autocompletion of javascript code does not work in Eclipse Neon for this moment. The reason is desribed in this bug's answer: Eclipse bug description. This problem can be solved by installing Tern plugin in Eclipse. Detailed instruction can be found here: Tern installation guide.

You can also downgrade eclipse to Mars version, where autocompletion works out of the box, however it supports only older versions of javascript.
