One of the things I think it would be easy to do early on is providing a command that prompts for a Java interface and will code-generate the elisp functions to match up with and be able to invoke the java interface. I think a good plugin architecture for the JDE will allow non-Elispers to get along with a minimal knowledge. There could be a fair amount of automation that, given a minimal amount of initial java code, could: 1. Generate the Elisp code. 2. Package/jar everything up according to the JDEE's plugin package structure. Also, over time, it would be nice to flesh out some standard JDEE Java APIs for prompting for user input, so there would be virtually no need at all to write custom elisp! /Nick
