How do I create a WYSIWYG code editor with autocomplete to my web application?

Question

I'm developing a web application and I want the user to see autocomplete results like the autocomplete results shown by Eclipse.

Where should I start from?

Answer 1

I would suggest you consider using Java reflection and study the Java Class class implementation, specifically the getMethods() method which should supply the foundational functionality you are looking for, see java.lang.class

Answer 2

Hmmm... Seems interesting. Since you want to provide an online editor, so check out this jQueryUI page ( http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/ ). Along with this you will need knowledge of java reflection.
