As mentioned in Eclim's FAQ: http://eclim.org/faq.html#i-m-editing-a-java-python-php-etc-file-and-code-completion-doesn-t-work

This usually indicates that you don’t have file type plugins enabled in vim. To check you can run:

:EclimValidate

If it complains about filetype plugin support not being found, then follow its directions on adding the following to your vimrc:

filetype plugin indent on

From my personal experience, this error happens when you are trying to edit a file that is not a known part of any known project, or filetype of which isn't known.
