Improvement in autocompletion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is not possible to auto complete items with ","
For example, it's not possible to insert "add(a,b)" because the string will
be split.
I suggest to escape commas in the properties
"add(a\\,b)"

in Configuration.java:
public static final Pattern COMMA_SEPARATOR =
Pattern.compile("\\s*(?<!\\\\),\\s*");

and
public String[] getPrefixPropertyList(String prefix, String key)
{
    String v = getProperty(prefix + "." + key);
    if (v == null)
    {
        v = getProperty(key);
    }
    if (v == null)
    {
        return EMPTY_LIST;
    }
    String[] split = COMMA_SEPARATOR.split(v);
    for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++)
    {
        String string = split[i];
        split[i] = string.replaceAll("\\\\,", ",");
    }
    return split;
}

I actually do not like the current way of comma separated very long values in 
the
configuration, and that is one reason.  I mainly released completions to see if 
the
UI looks and behaves fine.
I will look for better configuration methods and hopefully this will be 
eliminated. 
But it will be in the next release.
If you still need current version, then i'll upgrade the 0.9.4 branch a bit 
later. 
I'm getting very busy now.

I'm working on this enhancement right now.  I need to know and get some ideas 
as to
what data you'll want to display in the completions dialog.

Right now I'd like to autocomplete c++ keywords and macros, with comma-separated
arguments. I'm using the above mentioned code right now.

How about key/value Property Type file with keys being the displayed text, and 
values
being what is to be inserted?  This will make it more user friendly for users 
to see
proper readable text in the combo.
Any ideas?

See latest code and binary for Abbreviations.  This should sort out this 
requirement.
