I don't know if the same solution is used in PDT, but the JDT has a setting in Preferences/Java/Editor/Content Assist/Advanced, where it is possible to change the proposal kinds. It might be worth checking whether something similar exists for PDT (I don't have one installed right now).

thanks, but in pdt there are a lot of options there, but non of them seem to turn off the flood of suggestions it gives.
