You must use customize-variable to set JDEE variables. This is because all JDEE variables are defcustom variables and when the JDEE loads a Java file it sets jde- variables to the value specified by the customized-value property of the variable, if specified, otherwise to the default value for the the variable. If you do not use customize-variable or do not set the customized-value property yourself, the customized-value property will be nil and you will always get the default value. > As a helper it would be great if jde had some function like > `jde-import-environment' which created a prj.el file based on the environment. How would the JDEE know what environment variables to use? Further, the JDEE already uses the standard CLASSPATH variable if you do not specify jde-global-classpath. - Paul
