There may well be a plugin to do that. I have been taught by two of the guys
who wrote BlueJ and they never mentioned an auto complete feature. I don't
think it is a feature they would include by default as BlueJ is designed as
a teaching tool ahead of a development tool. Auto complete might be seen as
cheating. One of the guys who wrote BlueJ sometimes appears on this group so
he may be able to provide a better answer.
