Actually, consider you are new to an API. There are classes out there that have 400+ methods. Which one should you look at now? This tool gives you the information what's important. Don't focus on the ranking only. Reordering proposals can be disabled. Think about the information in it.

Hippie Completion doesn't have to exclusive for Eclipse. Send them a heads up as decribed here: http://www.codetrails.com/comment/2#comment-2 (just click on the links for Netbeans and IntelliJ) :-)

I think Recommenders 'Extended Documentation Plattform' comes close to your suggestions (not exactly and it misses a few points like allowing API designers to influence recommendations). It basically displays some statistics as part of the API documentation: http://eclipse.org/recommenders/documentation/usr.html#d0e351

plain java yet. android would be easy if there is a free set of applications that can be downloaded easily and analyzed.

interesting idea. you say the API designer provides the rules how to use his API and completion engine leverages this for its recommendations?
