I'm having a problem with jde-help-symbol. If I try to get help on a
class which isn't in my imports list it generates the error message:
Error: cannot find class 'RE' on the current classpath.
(But, of course, the class is on my classpath.) It appears that the
problem is in jde-complete-get-qualified-name:
(defun jde-complete-get-qualified-name (name)
...
(let ((importlist (jde-complete-import-list)) shortname fullname tmp result)
I think the function be should using the classpath rather than the
imports list to find my symbol. In fact, my symbol isn't in a package
in the imports list since I haven't yet written the code to use it
(that's why I'm asking for symbol help). I think it makes more sense
to use the classpath to find the symbol since that allows me to access
the javadoc for a class before writing the code (which I often need to
do) and before writing an import statement (which I do with
jde-import-find-and-import).
I looked around for an obvious fix (for instance a matching
jde-complete-class-list), but didn't see anything appropriate.
Thoughts? Am I off base about wanting to read docs on symbols not in
my imports list?
Thanks,
