Seems like a reasonable idea... But I will, against my better judgment, make the observation that JDEE is pretty much "stuck" and that I have had a lot of problems trying to ever find a stable combination of repository based Emacs AND some flavor of JDEE so I pretty much abandoned JDEE, Paul's excellent work notwithstanding. Should JDEE become unstuck, I'll revisit making it work with the Emacs development code. -pmr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
