I searched the list for this and only found one occurrence which claimed that updating their system made the problem go away. Well, it doesn't for me.
I'm a newbie to JDE and Java, too. Running a program works, but trying to debug it gives this error. Here's the content of the debugger window: cd ~/work/fvis/drpg/src/fvis/drpg/ /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/jdb -launch LoadData --home=/home/rroberts/work/fvis/ --oracle-user=fvis_drpg --oracle-sid=FVDRPG Comint exited abnormally with code 129 I'm using JDE 2.3.3; I saw the comment about upgrading to fix the font-lock problems. Will it fix this, too? I can post my entire .emacs, but the relevant parts are (autoload 'jde-mode "jde" "JDE mode." t) (setq semantic-load-turn-useful-things-on t) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.java\\'" . jde-mode)) (defun rbr-jde-mode () (setq jde-db-read-app-args t c-basic-offset 4 ;; Replace TAB with equivalent spaces indent-tabs-mode nil)) (add-hook 'jde-mode-hook 'rbr-jde-mode) ;; (add-hook 'java-mode-hook ;; '(lambda nil ;; (define-key java-mode-map "\eg" 'goto-line) ;; (setq c-basic-offset 4 ;; indent-tabs-mode nil) ; Replace TAB with equivalent spaces ;; (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks 'delete-trailing-whitespace))) (font-lock-add-keywords 'jde-mode '(("/[*]\\s-*\\<\\(\\(FIXME\\|WARNING\\):[^*]*\\)\\*?" 1 font-lock-warning-face t))) (font-lock-add-keywords 'jde-mode '(("//\\s-*\\<\\(\\(FIXME\\|WARNING\\):[^\n]*\\)\n" 1 font-lock-warning-face t))) along with this from my .custom.el (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
