I have written this function to solve the problem...it isnt a pretty
solution but it should work.
;; *****
(defun my-jde-space ()
(interactive)
(let ((st (thing-at-point 'word)))
(if (or
(string= st "main")
(string= st "if")
(string= st "else")
(string= st "eif")
(string= st "ife")
(string= st "while")
(string= st "for")
(string= st "fori")
(string= st "foriter")
(string= st "switch")
(string= st "switch")
(string= st "case")
(string= st "try")
(string= st "catch")
(string= st "tryf")
(string= st "finally"))
(expand-abbrev)
(insert " "))))
;; ******
The only problem is now I dont know how to bind this to "SPC" in Jde-mode
