REPL in Eclipse - arrow and tab keys don't work right

Last I worked on it, you had to press enter for input to be flushed to

overhaul to intelligently pull in input.

Is it known how to get the list of options for autocompletion? I was doing
the telnet version as well and I'm at this point.
MAybe I can do it for both...although the eclipse frameworks are one of the
very few things that actually scare me
