Well, you can call the shell from emacs (shell-command), and you an schedule events to occur in emacs, so that gives you all you need to keep it up to date. But I find I rarely need to keep it up to date, since my java files are not moving around too much, so no update is really needed. > > -- > Le > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
