If anyone can point me towards such an Steve> editor I would be very grateful. I've thought about this for a while. I use Emacs JDEE, and its irritating to have to set up classpaths twice. I haven't got a generic solution for this yet, but for something like Emacs, where the project file is straight forward plain text (well lisp anyway), it would be easy enough to use an ant "replace" task, to update the project file, based on the ant values. I'm sure you could do something similar with eclipse, assuming it has an non opaque project file system. Of course, how the IDE will cope with having its files changed underneath it is a different issue.
