After reading this thread, I thought I would try jtags. This is what
happens. I think I am using a version of etags which does not support
--regex option. The JDEE users guide does not mention anything about
this. Any pointers ?

I am using Cygwin on Win2K and etags came with that.


[/tmp]jtags

etags is /usr/bin/etags

Yes, using tags gives you access to functionality that JDE doesn't
have.  Like a quick take-me-to-class functionality.  JDE has several
take-me-to-class-at-point functionality, but that's not quite the
same.  Plus, JDE often makes you choose between classes of the same
name in different packages, while tags lets you cycle through.  I
prefer to cycle through.

Also, you can do nifty things like tags-query-replace, to replace one
regexp with some text everywhere in your source.  Very nice.
