AutoComplete for HTML tags in Eclipse

Question

Coming from the VisualStudio world to Eclipse! I have a question:

I have created a File->New->Project->General Project and added a .htm file to it and went to its text editor mode. But it does not have intellisence for HTML tags when I type them. Then I installed Aptana plug-in and tought it will bring auto-complete for my tags, but it did not change anything. So we have to type everything? No Intellisense for HTML in Eclipse?

In Eclipse goto

Window->Preferences->HTML Files -> Editor ->Content Assist

and paste this whole line instead of <= in Promt when these characters are inserted... !

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ._<=

then apply and close & Enjoy Coding !

I have Eclipse for Java EE installed, how do I make autocomplete for div.classname or div#idname work?

Install the Web Tools Platform (WTP), that should give you auto completion.

Or get "Eclipse for Java EE" or "Eclipse for JavaScript" instead of "Eclipse for Java" or "Eclipse Classic" respectively.

I recently installed "Eclipse for JavaScript and Web Developers" but it does not have the feature of auto-completing the html tag. How to make it work?

If you are on mac on the top of your screen click the Eclipse button Preferences -> HTML Files -> Content Assist and then in the "Prompt when these characters are inserted" area enter: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ._<=

in latest eclipse (2023) it has been changed -> Windows>Preferences>Web>HTML files>editor>content Assistant.

Then you can change some settings here like promt when you insert something and speed.
