Cosult java.sun.com? >Is there a way that JDE can help me with this? > Well, one way is (assuming you've pointed the JDE to the JDK API doc) : 1. Choose JDE->Browse JDK Doc The JDE displays the JDK API doc in your browser. 2. Select Index from the top of the API page. The browser displays an Index of the JDE doc. 3. Select P to get all symbols starting with P. 4. Use your browser's Find in Frame command to search for println. The browser scrolls the index to the println entries, which are numerous. Another way is to use etags.exe to build a tag database for the JDK source files. Then use Emacs etags commands to find the definitions of println in the source. Finally, if you just want to print something to standard out, type C-c C-v C-l and the JDE prompts you to enter an expression to print and then generates the System.out.println statement at the current point in the buffer. - Paul
