You mean like the same features that you get with IDE's like Eclipse, Netbeans etc? Auto suggestions? Like it would list all the methods available for JOptionpane?

I am not sure how it is implemented in Eclipse or others but for me it is a JPopupmenu with a scrollbar.

Here is a sample

That is the easy part though. You will need to use reflection to be able to get the class in question to reflect (tell you about itself ) on itself. I am not sure if this is a major feature in your app but if you are pretty new to Java then it could give you quite a headache.

Here is an example of Reflection:

Good luck.
