This command works only on Windows. * Enhanced the JDE->Run App command to run the executable specified by jde-run-executable with the arguments specified by jde-run-executable-args. This is useful when you are developing an application consisting of an executable program that launches a Java virtual machine. * Fixed jde-bug-debug-app command so that it gives a meaningful error message if JPDA is not properly installed. * Added JDEbug commands for setting and clearing watchpoints. * Fixed JDEbug stepping logic so that each source buffer is always loaded into the same window. * The JDE now suspends project context-switching while JDEbug is running a debugee process. This avoids the debugger losing track of its current position in the source code due to a change in the setting of jde-db-source-directories when switching among projects that define this variable differently. * The submit bug report command now includes environment variables. * Added a Project menu to the JDE menu. * Moved the Options menu to the Project Menu. * Added a Project Files submenu to the new Project menu. * Moved the Save Project item to the Project Files menu. * Added Load and Load All commands to the Project Files menu. The first command loads the project file for the current Java source buffer. The Load All command loads the project file for each open source buffer. * Added a jde-project-context-switching-enabled-p customization variable. You can use this variable to turn off automatic loading of project files. This allows you to manage project file loading manually. ============================================================================ ========= About the JDE ============================================================================ ========= The Java Development Environment for Emacs is a freeware Emacs/JDK-based IDE for creating Java applications.
