Yes... as discussed on my previous mail.
The trouble with the system you outline is that it's quite a lot of
setup to do... I would like JDE to ask for these values by default...
(or at least to be able to set a switch to ask for the values) but to
be able to define them in my .emacs or site-lisp if I want to.
So here's a summary of what we're talking about:
i) JDE to be able to use location of prj.el file as a project root
ii) JDE to ask where to store the prj.el file
iii) JDE to be able to use defaults for values like destination dir
and so forth
iv) lisp hook for doing compilation (and documentation?)
For i) I think we could adapt JDE so that if a relative path is used
(eg: dir1/dir2) then the JDE will pickup the project root form the JDE
location.
Does anyone use relative paths for anything else right now?
I think ii) is a fairly easy change to JDE's project creation fn.
Probably iii) is already working to an extent because it should be
possible to use the existing JDE configuartion to save the defaults in
the .emacs file (save for future sessions).
However, that doesn't allow for site-lisp changes does it?
I'm currently investigating doing iv) for my own nefarious purposes.
I think it would be cool (when eventually we get JEmacs it will be
possible to compile your code completely inside Emacs - by just
calling the compile fn).
