Inside JComboBox: adding automatic completion

This works, but has some inconveniences:
1. The case-insensitive match makes it impossible to enter new items with correct case. Suppose you want to enter "EsTonto". Entering 'E' will result in "Ester" being selected. You enter 's','T',... resulting in "Estonto". But you wanted an uppercase 'T'...
2. The backspace key should not only move the selection backwards when editing "new" items. Suppose you had entered "Esters" and you want to delete the trailing 's'. Hitting backspace will highlight the 's' but won't delete it.
The first issue can't be resolved very easily. Each insert would be written to a protocoll and later the original string could be reconstructed (here's the difficult part). I did a hack that is not really worth to be published but you can contact me, if you can't live without this feature.
The second needed some coding. It won't be explained here in more detail.
