trouble with code completion and BeanShell

To help diagnose, I suggest:

1. Start beanshell using in-line completion as mentioned.

2. After about 10 seconds, hit C-g, which should abort the blocking
   call Emacs has on the (beanshell JVM) child process.

3. Switch to the *JDEE* buffer.  At the top of this buffer, there
   should be a `cd' and the JVM invocation.  Copy this into a .sh or
   .bat file and run that outside of Emacs (or in a inferior shell).

The idea here is to isolate this problem.  To me, this sounds like
beanshell isn't finishing its start up process and not giving a
prompt.  That is, emacs is waiting for IPC with the string 'bsh % ',
which mean beanshell is ready for the next command.

You can also customize variable bsh-startup-timeout to give up on
beanshell when it doesn't respond, although this only treats the
symptom.
