Paul,
I think I may not have been clear as to what the problem is, so here
goes...
when I type
if<space>
^
Emacs responds
if (
^
and prompts me to enter the if-clause in the minibuffer. If I enter a==b
in the minibuffer, Emacs completes the above expression as
<tab>if (a==b) {
<tab><tab><space>
^^^^^^^-----------------------problem.
<tab>}
where <tab>s are due to indent function. The problem is the <space> char
that types which triggered
the completion is also inserted. If I type <return> after 'if' then that
<return> is inserted in the buffer.
The solutions I proposed/indicated take care of that problem.
regards,
sandip

Hi Sandip,
I cannot reproduce this problem on my system (Windows Millenium, Emacs
21.3.1, JDEE 2.3.3beta5), i.e., when I type
if
^
Emacs responds
if (
^
and prompts me to enter the if-clause in the minibuffer. If I enter a==b
in the minibuffer, Emacs completes the above expression as
if (a==b) {
} // end of if (a==b)
In other words, there are no extraneous spaces. Perhaps this problem is
specific to your setup.
