Hi Steff,
Maybe what I wanted to do makes sense, I don't know.
I thought it would be useful to have hippie-expand first try to use
jde-complete-at-point to complete java methods and fields. To do this,
you have to add jde-complete-at-point to the list of completion
functions that hippie-expands tries. You cannot just add
jde-complete-at-point because hippie-expand expects all of its try
functions to obey some pre-defined semantics. More detailed explanation
and examples of this can be found in hippie-exp.el in the FSF Emacs
lisp directory.
Thanks!
Chuck
