If you are using Maya version >= 2011, Maya ships with files required for autocompletion in a folder called devkit.

Here is a small tutorial as to how to use this: http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/tutorials/development-api/c/eclipse-auto-completion-for-maya-commands

This way is simple, straightforward and works with other great IDEs too like PyCharm.

Update:

In Eclipse:

  1. Window -> Preferences -> PyDev -> Interpreter - Python
  2. Select MayaPy
  3. Open the "Predefined" tab
  4. Click on "New..."
  5. Navigate to and add the pypredef folder in your extras/completion/ folder in your Maya devkit directory. enter image description here
  6. Click on Ok.
  7. Make sure your project is using the MayaPy interpreter.

Auto-completion will now start working. enter image description here

If you want to do more, check this tutorial out. It has some very specific straightforward steps for setting up auto-complete for Maya in Eclipse.

Hope this helps.
