How do you implement this? :[

It's a setting on the AutoComplete instance you've already created.

Code: Select all: AutoCompletion ac = ...; ac.setShowDescWindow(true);

You can browse the Javadoc for the entire library here.

okay, now how do I create descriptions? I can't seem to find it in the javadocs.

If you use BasicCompletions, then you can call setSummary() on each one. This is the easiest possible way. Note that the text you pass to setSummary() should be HTML.

Note also that the Completion interface only defines getSummary(), not setSummary(), so you can create custom Completion implementations that actually compute the summary at runtime, and save a little memory. See the Java support in RSTALanguageSupport (currently only available in SVN).

What am I doing wrong here? Netbeans says "void type not allowed here".

Code: Select all: provider.addCompletion(new BasicCompletion(provider, "background", "some short description").setSummary("<html></html>"));

The setSummary() method doesn't return anything, so you cannot do it the way you are. There is, however, a constructor that also takes the summary text as a fourth argument. Try this instead:

Code: Select all: provider.addCompletion(new BasicCompletion(provider, "background", "some short description", "<html>This is the summary text"));

Alternatively, you can do this:

Code: Select all: Basiccompletion bc = new BasicCompletion(provider, "background", "some short description"); bc.setSummary("<html>This is the summary text"); provider.addCompletion(bc);

Note also that Swing is nice, and you don't have to type the closing "</html>" tag. It won't hurt anything if you do, but if you don't, it'll still render the same.

Thank you, this fixed everything!
