Description

When using Content assist when defining the parameters of a method ("println(var.|)"), content assist only shows generic entries (see attached screenshot).

After typing the first character after the dot (i.e. println(var.b|), content assist usually works as expected.

The code of the example class is also attached. I'll be happy to provide more information if needed

You are seeing this problem because of the problems with the underlying antlr parser. When you have something like print(var.) the parser does not know how to handle this and it throws an exception. We tend to fix these problems as they come up and so we will add this one to the list.

this scenario works now, at least on 1.8 - code assist is fine. We aren't retrofitting recovery to 1.7 now.
