Hi all,
A few releases ago, at the suggestion of a user, I changed the JDE so that
it uses the path of the prj.el file, instead of jde-project-name, to
determine the project of the current buffer. Accordingly, the JDE no longer
uses jde-project-name. However, there may be a need for it in future
releases, for example, to display the project name on the mode line.
Accordingly, I plan to make jde-project-name a customizable variable so
that it gets saved in the prj.el file. Also, I plan to change the Save
Project command so that it prompts you to specify a path for saving the
project file instead of the project name, with the current directory the
suggested path for new projects and the current path the suggested path for
existing projects. This will eliminate the need to move the project file
when creating new projects if the current directory is not the appropriate
place for it.
