Hey.

It seems to me that the JDE project support could benefit other languages and
modes besides just Java.  I often organize my local files into projects.
Usually these include files that the JDE doesn't support (XML, XSL, etc).

I think we should take the JDE project support and migrated it directly into a
project-mode.el or a project.el package so that it is not JDE specific.

I have a project-mode-name.el package on my website which tries to use the
current directory to figure out a project name to use and then puts this on the
modeline.  It would be nice to rewrite this to support a prj.el mechanism
similar to the JDE mechanism.

I could also see adding additional support for WebCVS so that you can quickly
jump to WebCVS from the current buffer based on project local variables.

There is a lot of other stuff we could do.  I would like to see a
buffer-local-variable similar to "mode-name" but called "project-name" so that
other major modes could use this variable.

Thoughts.... just an idea.

Kevin
