Company mode supports the CEDET completion engine also.  If someone is
going to find out how to make eclim work w/ Emacs, doing so with CEDET
would help company mode, plus several other tools that use CEDET as a
back-end.  I don't know anything about how eclipse works, but I'd be
happy to help someone figure out the CEDET angle.
