I can't get code completion to work at the dot operator
已完成
Windows 11
IntelliJ 2025.1.3 Ultimate Edition
This is all I get when typing a dot after a Java class:
I opened my project form a git repo on my hard drive.
In IJ I went File > Project From Existing Sources > path the pom.xml of the project
I am using JAVAC 1.8 ( not in the windows registry, but in my PATH and pointed to by JAVA_HOME sys envir var ).
IJ gave me a list of JDKs to choose from, I found mine in the list, and chose it

My code completion setting dialog:
My Inline Completion settings dialog
Any clues appreciated!
Thank you.

It looks like the JDK wasn't properly added, or the source root is not resolved.
- Try to click on Reload All Maven Projects in the Maven tool window:
- Ensure that a JDK is selected under File | Project Structure | Project
- Check if you have Java source root configured under File | Project Structure | Modules | module_name | Sources . Example below:

I don't have a Maven Tool Window despite having Maven on my system:
File > Project Structure > Project
I had the wrong language level in
File > Project Structure > Modules > Lanuage Level
I have code completion now.
How can I get a Maven Tool Window?
Hello, does your project contain a pom.xml file? The Maven tool windows could be opened via the menu View | Tool Windows | Maven.
My project does have a pom.xml.
I have a screen shot of View > Tool Windows about 4 comments up. There is no choice for the Maven Tool Window in that menu.
I fixed the Maven issue too.
This issue can be considered closed.
Thanks for all of the help!
