Automatic suggestion for JTextField

My Java application gives user a textbox to input some String data.Domain size of input is around 500 words. I want to give suggestion when user starts typing a word. Something Like Google Automatic suggestion. Any idea how to do that?

  • Here is an example of how to do it:

    When you create an instance of this autocomplete textfield you have to pass your 500 words in there as a list.
