Well, eclipse does keep a syntax tree of the source code.  Eclim doesn't
necessarily make it available in a raw form, but it has (at least) a
command to print the class prototypes (java_class_prototype).

Looking at the source code it wouldn't be too hard to return methods,
arguments, etc. in CSV form.  Somebody just would have to convince the
vim folks to accept patches helping an Emacs project. ;)


Either way, it's a very neat project.  Thanks to whoever mentioned it
first. ;) The completion seems to work well with company[1], too, so
I'll include a back-end in the next version.
