I'm afraid I'm lost again... by saying "based on what is know as type"
you mean that we'll get all methods for a given class? all properties?
For instance, if i type $xwiki. will I get all methods of this class?
All its properties? I know, I can't learn Java by asking here all I
don't know! But it is really useful to make this kind of questions, and
get them answered!, to better understand the concepts I found defined in
many places in Internet or asking colleagues. At least for me is quite
difficult to know what is wrong, ill-defined or correct in that ocean of
information!
Thank you so much!

The grant would be for the xwiki development, not for xwiki applications.
I think I saw there was one long ago.
Your product should be open-source.
Yes, yes! I meant I'm not the one to propose XWiki devs to apply for
such a grant! :-)
I must
recognize that I am a bit of a mess when talking about variables,
properties, methods, objects and stuff!
Let's go back to the initial question: what I was looking for was how to
"read" all available properties of a given "object" with a
"piece of
code" within a XWiki page. I think I'm not able yet to use the right
concepts and the right words when taking about, in general,
object-oriented programming. I think that what you have gone several
steps further and give me/us some nice keys about how to do that
"programmatically" from within your favourite IDE. This will allow
anybody using this environment to get auto-completion.
I summarize it all as the autocompletion function.
You type $xxx then dot (".") then get a popup... that popup is based on what is
known as type.
