Hi, I depend on JDEE and when it went away as a Debian package I found myself building my own from the subversion trunk.
One thing I seem to have learned: compiling trunk code does NOT work out of the box. The reason is the build.el places the downloaded CEDET at the end of the load path, so the emacs included CEDET always goes before it! This leads to incomplete compilation and associated non expansion of macros (e.g. see http://www.mail-archive.com/jdee-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00600.html). The patch below seemingly allows me to reliably build and use JDEE on Debian Squeeze (JDK 1.6.0_26, GNU Emacs 23.4.1, CEDET 1.0 downloaded locally). I suspect we could just set the add-to-list append parameter to nil across all versions, but I don't have all the history here about why it goes to the end. Feedback would be much appreciated. This was the most defensive change I could think of. Sorry for the cross post; these lists seem so quiet I'm not sure who is reading which list, but I certainly would not mind a (gentle) rap on my fingers. Cheers!
