Hi everyone,
I've seen someone à the Paris JUG whose eclipse's content assist was
pretty large. Since I also use a wide screen, I started searching where
this configuration was in Eclipse. Whitout success.
Does someone know how to increase the size (precisely, the width) of the
popup window that appears for content assist (CTRL + SPACE), and also
how to increase the size of the javadoc popup window that appears
normally on the right of the first one.
Bonus question : the guy i saw with this configuration also managed to
place the javadoc popup window under the content assist popup window
(normally it's on the right). Does anyone know how to do this too ?
PS: some previous research on google pointed out some folks saying that
rezising these window popups causes eclipse to remember the new size
forever, but as many others, it doesn't work at all for me.
regards,

I just tested this feature on Mac OS X and it worked just fine. You are
right, I am working on a Linux platform and i don't have any resize handle.
It's too bad for Linux (which is the best development platform by the
way :-p)
Thanks anyway, I am going to open a bug about this.

I just want to give a workarround for this bug. I resized the content
assist popup window on a Mac OS X and then get the piece of XML written
by eclipse in order to save the new size.
By setting this piece of XML into an Linux installation of Eclipse, you
get the same result.
The XML to change is :
${myWorkspaceDir}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/dial og_settings.xml
Add this section (be carefull, it might already exist but it's then
sould be empty) :
<section name="completion_proposal_size">
<item value="800" key="size.x"/>
<item value="300" key="size.y"/>
</section>
You can of course change the values.
