In general, Google.

   That means, do not send email directly to me.
   Thank you.

I am looking for the same functionality.
My attempt was to react on keyboard events in the editable field and 
then set the appropriate selection "manually"... but.. I do not know how 
to get to know the key input of the field.... JComboBox does not react 
as expected on key events....
but maybe you do....

For example if you type "a", the combobox will positioned itself on the first item begginning whith "a". Then if you type "b", the combobox will position itself on the first item beggining with "ab" and so on.
