I looked at Source Navigator once. It didn't seem a good fit. The JDE is
an IDE and Source Navigator is an IDE. Integrating two IDEs doesn't seem
very useful to me. Besides, SN is a Unix system. Most JDE users, including
myself, use Windows. There wouldn't be much motive for me to do the
integration. Further, I don't want to include any platform-dependent
features in the JDE.

JTAGS works fine with the etags that comes with the NTEmacs 20.7.1
distribution that I am using. The last time I checked the built-in etags
support for Java tagging was not very good. For example, it didn't tag
interfaces and missed a lot of other things.
