I find myself wanting to auto-complete things that I import in the .java file I'm editing. So for example I'm working on Test.java, and inside I have import java.util.List;. Can I auto-complete (Ctrl+n) the methods inside the List interface so that when I do something like List l = new ArrayList(); l.<Ctrl+n> the methods show up?

  • Best of luck – you’ll probably not get any useful answer though. For reference, also have a look at the question [Autocompletion in Vim](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1115876/1968). – Konrad Rudolph Mar 25 '11 at 13:15

It may be possible to use Eclim to achieve this. I have no idea how usable this is, though.

  • Eclim is also the one I found but it requires the entire Eclipse stuff. I wish there was a more standalone vim "plugin" but I guess eclim is really the only thing there is. – Luca Matteis Mar 25 '11 at 13:46

The javacomplete omnicompletion script seems to provide an extensive feature list. I don't know if it works with what you're asking but it does not need eclim.

There's also the Vim JDE script but it needs vim built with ruby support.

    I've used the javacomplete script and it works very well. It comes with a Reflection class that it uses to get completions. However, I've since switched to using eclim. (I use eclipse to debug, so I might as well use it for completions too.) – idbrii Sep 09 '11 at 20:09
