After the installation of these plug-ins, you will find additional 
configuration pages for auto completion and call tips. On these pages you have 
to enable the modules you want to want to get support from. You should look at 
"Mouse Click Handlers" as well. With that you can configure a navigation 
feature (e.g. Ctrl+Click on a method usage jumps to the method definition).
