Vscode-java-debug: Auto-complete in debug console/watch view

[mojo2012]

When being on a breakpoint, autocomplete in the debug console should work exactly like in the editor.
Also the "watch view" should support autocomplete.
When a called method throws an exception, this should be printed in the debug console as well.

Environment

• Operating System: macOS 10.12.6 (16G1212)
• JDK version: 1.8.0_144-b01
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.20.0 (1.20.0)
• Java extension version: 0.18.1
• Java Debugger extension version:0.6.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. break at a break point
2. open debug console and start typing a variable name in the scope of the breakpoint and hit ctrl-space.

Current Result

empty auto complete box

Expected Result

same as in editor view

@yaohaizh is auto-completion possible in the Watch panel and the Debug Console?

I tried js script, Debug Console has the auto-complete feature while Watch panel has not, I added blacklog and will impl it if the voting is high

VSCode doesn't support auto-complete on the watch view yet.
