Currently, the engine which is used to performed word completion is
completed. I just lacked of a gui component.

Thank you.

What you want is a JComboBox.

Nope. I do not watnt a combo box. I do not want to have the arrow at
the right side.

Well then write your own component.

You either write your own componet from scratch or extend one that
already exist. You could, like Knute Johnson said, use the JComboBox
componet and extend it so that it does not show the arrow. Just remove
what you don't want and keep what you need.

Can you give me some hints on how to remove the arrow?

Use a JComboBox with a customized renderer and/or
editor, as described in the "Java Tutorial."
