Most noobish question?

Hey,

I need alot of help. I have just started java. I know other languages thats why i have so many post.

I need to know how to open code completion box without using the Ctrl+space or esc key because that is not working.

These are the instructions im following to learn java

Press Ctrl-Space to open the code completion box. The IDE offers code completion for all classes and methods in the project's compilation classpath. Select LibClass (org.me.mylib) and press Enter. The IDE fills in the rest of the class name and also automatically creates an import statement for the class.
Note: The IDE also opens a box above the code completion box that displays Javadoc information for the selected class or package. Since there is no Javadoc information for most packages, the box displays a "Cannot find Javadoc message" until you reach a Java class.

Hopefully someone could help

Dont worry i figuered out the problem. I had msn messenger running. It has a built in function for when you press Ctrl+space to hide in the corner and change the icon to a computerish looking icon.

This Disturbed my Netbeans program makiing it so i couldn't press ctrl space.

If it doesnt let you press Ctrl- Space then check if you have msn running

Ty anyways

Erm, which IDE are you talking about? For Eclipse navigate to:

Project>Propert ies>Java Build Path>Libraries

and open up the rt.jar (which contains all the core classes). Edit its source
attachment. It is a src.zip file which can be found in the JDK. Strictly speaking
you don't need a JDK when you use Eclipse but that source file comes in handy.

For Netbeans I have no idea at all, sorry.

kind regards,

Jos

edit: never mind; you figured it out already.
