Some support??!! The JDE's support is complete unlike the very limited ffap
solution that you propose. The jde-show-class-source command finds the
source for any class that exists on the class path defined by the
jde-global-classpath variable or CLASSPATH environment variable and whose
source is in one of the paths specified by jde-db-source-directories,
unlike your solution, which does not work for JDK API classes or jar
libraries or projects where source files and class files are stored in
separate directories.

I have no problems with the Beanshell on any of the Windows platforms and
occasionally have to issue the first command that requires the Beanshell
twice on Solaris but this is minor.
If you are having problems with the beanshell, please report them. A lot of
JDE functionality, e.g., the wizards, depends on the Beanshell. Thus, if it
is not working for you, you are missing out on key features of the JDE.
