The JDEE has lots of code that refers to XEmacs-only > symbols. The Emacs compiler doesn't know about them so it complains. In the ECB CVS repository http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ecb/ecb/ you can find a package-independent library silentcomp.el which handles all these differences between the Emacs-flavors well and silences the byte-compiler. It is stolen and slightly changed from cc-mode. silentcomp.el is small (about 80 lines of code) and makes byte-compiling much less annoying and confusing for Emacs-Newbies. silentcomp.el contains an introducing comment at beginning to explain how to use it, incl. an example.
