source code editor for Linux with dropdown list hinting

[bobblebob]

Hello

Is there a java source code editor for Linux that offers a drop-down
menes as you type of classes and methods, like eclipse does but that
isn't a big heavy framework like eclipse.

What I'm after is somthing like gvim or gedit but with dropdown list as
you type.

Do you want auto-completion? The new vim 7 should have it.

I use NetBeans 5.0 on Fedora Core 5 and it has that feature. It comes
highly recommended by me.

Auto-completion, that's the term I was looking for. I'll go and get a
new version of vim. Saying that since my last post I have been playing
around with eclipse and finding I quite like it.
Thanks for your help.

I was looking for such a feature that wasn't tied in to such a big
program such as eclipse or netbeans. Though, I may look into using
netbeans for the sole reason that in its autocomplete function it gives
the user lots of info on the class or method. I find that really useful
as I'm still learning and the fact that I have a bad memory. Thanks for
your help.
