I use JDE->Find->Expression to search for an expression everwhere in
the JDE source path (jde-db-source-directories). This displays all the
hits as hyperlinks in a popup buffer. Clicking on any hyperlink takes
you to the source of the hit. This command assumes that you have the
Unix utilities grep and find installed on your system. The Cygwin Unix
emulation package for Windows, which I use, includes both
utilities. Since Windows also includes an incompatible function named
find, I make sure that the Cygwin bin directory is ahead of the
Windows system directory so that Emacs will find and use the Unix
version.
