The XEmacs windows installer installs all of the required JDE packages (ECB and Jalopy are not packaged as yet) using a GUI "wizard". It is open source and used by many, many people to install XEmacs also. It is a fork of the original cygwin installer and I would suggest it is a good starting point for anyone wanting to do a GUI installer (or make the XEmacs one better). wrt to "GUI features" I have been working on integrating toolbar support for JDEbug into JDE and a gdbsrc mode for JDEE (i.e. gdb keystrokes in your editing buffer which becomes read-only while you are debugging). I have also added support for true GUI selection boxes for things that use efc (i.e. a true GUI version of efc). All of these things are XEmacs specific. I expect to check them into the JDEE CVS repository hopefuly before Christmas. I started on a setup wizard for JDEE based on XEmacs GUI features but found I had not implemented enough GUI features, so turned down my ambition somewhat... andy
