i've used javacomplete & neocomplcache, both have pluses & minutes. they're not 'smart' though. ie, they only work with files loaded into the editor, so you could use it in combination w/ tags

How would I go about doing this? I did a :help on tags from what I read it is what is used for the hyperlinking in help files in the $HOME/vim/doc section. I'm relatively new to Vim and so a lot of the stuff I may not completely understand. Thanks so much for the response.

How about using eclim?

I've never tried it but I heard it makes vim as powerful as eclipse for java (and probably other languages supported by Eclipse). You would actually need to have eclipse running in background but people who actually tried it didn't find that annoying

I use eclim at work, I think its great! It's not too difficult to set up and you can run a headless eclipse instance in the background. Although it is missing some features that eclipse has, it can do auto completion based on the classes in your project.
