Maybe this will help, concerning updating JDEE via the XEmacs packaging system:

Usually this simply doesn't work for me. I can't quite remember what errors I get, but "Wrong type argument" sounds familiar :)

Anyway, what I do is download the Pre-release versions of semantic, speedbar etc using the XEmacs packager (they're usually up to date). Then I download the JDEE latest version from the site, and install it manually like the XEmacs packager would do (this means, in two seperate dirs for the java files and lisp files, as explained somewhere on the site). Warning: I just like this solution cause then I can still use the packager if I would want to - you pbb avoid lots of problems if you just follow the instructions on the site.

However, and here's the interesting part, I have to remove any compiled lisp files from the jde dir to make it work. Even if I just install the (usually outdated) JDEE package using XEmacs, it still gives errors if I use the compiled version. This gives some interesting issues when using apt-get upgrade when it tries to install a new xemacs version ;) I basically just remove the .elc files from the lisp/jde dir after that.

dunno if my ramblings are in any way helpful - to summarize, I'd say try removing the .elc files from your jde install dir and see what that does.

No.

Don't know. You don't give enough information. If you want my help,
submit a full problem report, including your XEmacs init file and a
backtrace of the error.

No. The JDEE does not "hog" reserved keys.
