Title: Using JDEE w/ Windows Emacs 21.2.1

Paul,

 

A while ago I noticed that emacs 21.2.1 (at least the NT version) automatically adds site-lisp and its complete subdirectory tree to the load-path variable.  Only directories with a .nosearch file (which may be empty) in them are ignored as well as their subdirectories.  As your JDEE and XAE packages have quite a few non-lisp subdirectories, it speeds up emacs enormously if you could add these .nosearch files in all the immediate subdirectories of jde and xae except those containing lisp code.

 

Cheers,

Karel

The Requirements section states that the JDEE requires the LATEST
version of Emacs or XEmacs. I would be grateful if you would refer me
to the section of the Web site that states or implies that the JDEE
requires Emacs 19 so that I can correct the section.

You refer to a .emacs file but the error occurs while loading
_emacs. Are you sure Emacs is loading the initialization file
that you think it is?

This means that the semantic-util has not been loaded and hence
semantic-map-buffers has not been defined.

semantic-load is a new feature in semantic 1.4. Perhaps Eric has
not got all the dependencies involved in autoloading semantic functions
worked out.

You might have better luck doing

(require 'semantic)

as suggested in the JDEE installation instructions.

This is because a Lisp error, perhaps the semantic error above, aborted
the jde-mode function before it had a chance to install the JDE menu
or turn on syntax coloring.

Perhaps if you solve the problem with loading semantic, the JDEE itself
will load correctly.
