[MonoDevelop] code-complete with ikvm assemblies

[Mike Krüger]

Hi

ATM  we don't have code completion for Java. We're not going to do this ourselves (we're concentrating on the C# backend, we've too few
developers to provide full language support for more languages).

But we're taking contributions :)

Regards
Mike
