In *all* IDE's? Hui!

They google for it :-) This is a FAQ. Look for cedet, ecb and intellisense:
http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml

polymedes> These questions apply to C++, Java, Python and C#
cedet and ecb do work (at least) for C and C++, there is the Java Development
Environment
for Emacs:

Since you don't like google:
The Emacs Lisp List is a good starting point for looking for lisp packages for
Emacs:
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/emacs/ell.html
And last but not least there is the EmacsWiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki
Hope this helps...
