ANDROID: Eclipse J2EE Helios & Code Assist

Code assist is EXTREMELY slow for whatever reason on the HELIOS J2EE build. This wasn't happening before on Galileo. So I did some researching and found this nifty note on the interweb...

If you are using the JEE edition of HELIOS, the assists can be speeded up by turning off JAX-WS assist in the edit/advanced preference (Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist->Advanced. It also appears that the assists cycle through a list of suggestion sources, starting with a different one each time, which would explain why the assists are not always slow.

Sped things up, but still slow... so then I checked for more links and ended with this one: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=317979

It states the bug is fixed in newer release of the Eclipse SDK. Too bad this still doesn't work!

Finally I reverted to GALILEO, and the issue is no more. It must be an issue on Android end, and not eclipse.
