Hi folks,

I have a couple of questions and observations that I would be grateful for 

answers to/reflections on;

1) I have a like like "private Dimension screenSize = null;". The 
"Dimension" part is of color A. I change "Dimension" to "dimension" and 
the color changes. This makes me a bit nervous, as it impiles that 
coloring is done based on coding standards. This is usually fine by me, 
but I can not help but think that things should be coloured after what 
they are (keyword/builtin/etc) and not by what they look like they are.
Is this so? If so, I'd be interested in the explanation =)

2) The speedbar is great for navigating. However, as a Java programmer I 
would very much like it to be an "object browser". Browsing Java code by 
files somehow doesn't feel very elegant, especially as with 
inner/anonymous classes code files tend contain more code. I know of a few 

different browsers, but shouldn't something like that be a priority in a 
Java development environment?

3) jde-complete-at-point usually takes quite some time (I use a PIII 500). 

Will this change?

4) jde-help-symbol takes you to the page for the specified class, like 
".../lang/IllegalArgumentException.html". I'd like to see the frames 
version instead. I imagine this could be done by creating a frameset as 
all the information on what pages to display is at hand. Has anyone 
thought of this? Anyone else interested?

5) jde-help-symbol doesn't seem to work for static methods. Correct?

6) When I compile and use next-error, the point is inserted the the 
beginning of the line with an error. Is there a way to make it insert the 
point at the same line but where the problem actually is (according to the 

compile)?


I am extremely fond of my NTEmacs coupled with JDE. If anything above 
could be interpreted differently, I was lying.


Cheers, Mattias �berg
