Great, that was the problem - thanks! Changed the setq to:
(setq jde-db-source-directories
'("f:/InfoGain/JavaCourse/Examples/Polymorphism/"))
and it works like a charm. Nice one.
I worked through custom, but couldn't find how to set the
jde-db-source-directories in there - I'll spend some more time with custom
- I've now found the appropriate section in jde-ug.html.
Thanks very much for your help,
Regards,
Thomas.
