I've looked into this and have found the reason why this fails. The JDE's
regular expression for an IDENTIFIER defines an identifier as any WORD that
begins with a LETTER and is followed by LETTERs or DIGITs. The JDE defines
an underscore as a LETTER. However, Emacs does not, by default, consider an
underscore as a word character. Hence the JDE's regular expressions do not
work for identifiers that begin with an underscore. There is a workaround,
however, which is to change the category of underscore from non-word to
word character. The next release of the JDE will make this modification.
Meanwhile, you can accomplish the same modification by inserting the
following form
(modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w")
in a jde-mode hook function in your .emacs file.
