The quick fix should be to put the newest semantic, speedbar, and
jde EARLIER in your load-path than the stuff that's already there.
This is not hard, just slightly different from how you've got it
now. From my .emacs:
;; Modify lisp load path, put jde-required stuff first!
(setq load-path
(nconc
'("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/jde-latest/lisp"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic-latest"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speedbar-latest")
load-path))
I have jde-latest, semantic-latest, speedbar-latest set up as
symlinks to jde-2.2.0, semantic-1.2.1, and speedbar-0.12
respectively since I'm on Unix (power to the people Marty!).
On Windows, you'd have to use the real directory names
(although I've heard Win2k has directory links now??? Haven't
tried it, but am optimistic!).
As far as byte compiling all required files, I find it easiest
to do this inside emacs for JDE, since it relies on other
things. It's easier than dinking with -batch to make sure it
knows where to load everything. To do this, inside emacs type
C-u 0 M-x byte-recompile-directory
then enter the directory name (/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/jde-2.2.0/lisp).
That's it. You can also do the same for the other two directories
by running the command again and giving the other directory name.
Read up on byte-recompile-directory if questions.
