Title: RE: screen buffer resizing

Thanks for the tip.  Works Great, but ....  Is there a way to force JDE to always use the same Run Buffer ?  Alot of my classes in the same package have main methods for simple testing purposes, I would like the Run output to always be in the same buffer, not a different one per class.

 

Thanks a ton.

I use:
(setq special-display-regexps '("\\*COM\\.[a-z0-9A-Z.]+\*"))

This puts any buffer which has a name of *COM.text*
in it's own window.  (Where 'text' is any string of letters, numbers,
or periods.)  i.e. *COM.Navistar.app* (the buffer for running
the class COM.Navistar.app) gets its own window.
Since I do all of my work under COM this works for me.
The variable special-display-regexps can hold a list, so you could
include other regexps for whatever your top level packages are
in place of COM.  (You do use packages, don't you? ;-)

Example:
(setq special-display-regexps '("\\*COM\\.[a-z0-9A-Z.]+\*" "\\*george\\.[a-z0-9A-Z.]+\*"))

Which should work for all classes under the "COM" and "george" packages.
(Note, this is case sensitive, but so is Java.)

You could try inserting

(setq special-display-buffer-names
           '("*MYMAINCLASS*"))

in the prj.el file for your project where MYMAINCLASS is the name of your
project's main class. (The JDE sets the name of the run buffer to the name
of the class being run.)
