'STS4 - No content assist in application.properties
Just watched the new Video Getting Super Productive with Spring Tools 4 and Spring Boot 2.
Wanted to test the content assist in application.properties under STS4 and it doesn't work.
When I press ctrl+space there is nothing.
Tags should be spring-tools-4. But I don't have enough reputation to create it.

This works for me:
- Right-click on
application*{-yourProfile}*.properties - Open With
- Other
- Generic Editor - Spring Properties
- Click Ok
- A "Spring-ish" leaf icon will appear besides the file-name and auto-complete/content-assist will now be available.
Solution 2:[2]
try to open this properties file as "Generic Editor - Spring properties"
right-click on file > open with> Generic Editor - Spring properties (or "other" if it not displayed in the list)

go to Window -> Preferences (for windows).
Java > Editor > Content Assist : Auto Activation - [checkbox] enable auto activation
Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced : select the proposal types - select the checkbox against "Java Proposals"
That's it.

I have the same problem with my properties/yaml files in STS4. After some researches, I found out, the STS4, uses a language server for code assist/completion which is broken or there is a communication issue with it.
The best solution is to stop using STS4 altogether. Use the more stable version which is STS3 instead.
Update: After I changed the STS's java runtime from 8 to 11 everything fixed.
