Please open a bug-request for that (asking for information on how to configure blender). I'll download it here and see how code-completion could gather that information (but please open that bug-request...
it's kind of hard to manage the requests in the list... for info on how to create the request see:
http://pydev.sourceforge.net/faq.html#how_do_i_report_a_bug\)

Cheers,

Can you give an example of a completion that you'd expect to have working?

Adding blender\.blender\scripts as an external source folder is enough for what you want?

no the scripts are not the blender API.

something as simple as :

import Blender
from Blender import Scene

def test():
scene = Scene.GetCurrent()

should auto complete.
