When you say "display" you don't mean displaying it (the source code of the class) on
Emacs, right? I tried and it didn't work. I searched for documentation on the
ClassBrowser in the BeanShell site and could not find anything. Is there any way to
integrate/extend it to make it work closer with Emacs? It is nice to launch the
browser from inside JDE, but I would like to do the reverse operation - using the
browser to select a file/method inside Emacs - as well.
It would be wonderful to have this kind of functionality as standard Emacs code (i.e.
using Emacs buffers, etc.)
