thanks for the xemacs tip. I had read and reread the jde installation many times but somehow missed the section on xemacs at the very end. renaming the jde directory under etc did the trick. now everything works fine and smooth. I have a small problem with the JdeBug though. I am setting a breakpoint in one of the my java classes. When I start the debugger using debug->App the breakpoint is hit all right. but after that if I try to issue any other command like contimue or step, the minibuffer reports: No response to command 8. (process = 1; timeout = 10 sec.) and this is what the message buffer says: No response to command 19. (process = 2; timeout = 10 sec.) Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument (or object-p class-p) (-1 error (Malformed command: jde.debugger.JDEException: Application 1 does not exist))) I can not figure out what this means. The breakpoint still has the arrow pointing on it. But has my application terminated after that? Why does JdeBug refuse to move from that point? thanks for any help. Neeraj.
