since i have not seen all mails i have gotten private, i am going to do a
brief summary:

at the moment there seems to be no foolproof solution for the run buffer.
but see below.
the compilation buffer, however, can be resized. either set
(setq compilation-window-height 10)
or put the compilation buffer in it's own frame with
(setq special-display-buffer-names '("*compilation*"))
the second approach can be generalized by using special-display-regexps
instead. if you are running most of your application e.g. in jde.parser
try:
(setq special-display-regexps '("\\*jde\\.parser.*"))
thanks for all the answers,
