in my .emacs file, I have the following:

(setq jde-global-classpath '("."))

after I load that, and do C-h C-v on jde-global-classpath, Emacs-21
tells me:

jde-global-classpath's value is (".")

that's all fine and dandy.

then I go and write java for a while.  things work fine.  but then
after a half hour or so, I try to compile something and get an error.
I check jde-global-classpath, and Emacs-21 tells me:

jde-global-classpath's value is nil

What's up with that?  I eval (setq jde-global-classpath '(".")) in the
*scratch* buffer, and things work well again for a time.  then
Emacs-21 seems to forget again.  I can't figure out what's happening
here.

It also forgets my setting for debug-on-entry.  I seem to have to
re-set that to nil about the same time I have to reset
jde-global-classpath.

Is there some other way to set these?  What is Emacs-21 doing to
forget my settings?

Dave
