Eclipse can't autocomplete html tag: I wrote div + space, and I can't get <div></div> .

I installed plugins Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development and Eclipse Web developer tools and even completely changed verison IDE to Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers - it doesn't work.

How to set up Eclipse so I can develop for the web?

In which editor are you opening the file? Which version of HTML does your file content say it's for?

I figured out that to auto-suggest html- tags, I need to type the '<' character.

I'm most interested in the features of the content assist: how to set attributes for tags is still not clear. For example, how to quickly type this construction:

<button class='buttonColor buttonShape', id='simpleButton'>Press me!</button>

The issue was fully resolved by installing the Emmet extension.

Now I can write abbreviated constructions (Emmet syntax), then press Tab key and get a detailed version. For example:
#page>div.login+ul#navigation>li*5>a{}

<div id="page">
	<div class="login"></div>
	<ul id="navigation">
		<li><a href=""></a></li>
		<li><a href=""></a></li>
		<li><a href=""></a></li>
		<li><a href=""></a></li>
		<li><a href=""></a></li>
	</ul>
</div>
