Option 1: How can I adapt this code to my project? I created the class AutoCompletation and then in my constructor I put:
AutoCompletion.enable(yourComboBox);
I dragged my combobox into the design part and set it to 'editable'. When I run my project, when I write anything in my combobox it gives me this error:

Does anyone have a clue where I might be failing?
Option2:
Maybe you'd better go for this solution: Autocomplete JCombobox
I was able to do it, but I would like to apply that autocomplete to a checkbox of mine. How can I do this?
