Hi Fredick, You can look at CEDET's Semantic "intelissense" feature, described at http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml
This implementation works only for files you have previously loaded in an Emacs buffer (so it would not be useful for the JDK classes, unless you manually visit all the source files) but it provides "true" code completion like jde-complete - without requiring compiled classes. There are also "poor man" alternatives, that don't provide true code completion but make up for that in speed. I use dabbrev-expand a lot, and once you get used to it it can be quite useful. I also played a little with predictive mode (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PredictiveMode) using a dictionary made of Java keywords and JDK class names. The latest version has support for regular-expression based dictionary switching, which perhaps could be expanded with some info from Semantic to create a more useful tool. The way predictive works (offering alternatives as you type) is very interesting, but it definetely needs to be better tied up to the Java syntax to be more useful.
