hello tony,
thanks for the reply. I tried using it, but I think I may be doing something
wrong. do you know how to produce tags when java source files are distributed
across directories?
-khubaib
see "man ctags"
To recurse into directories, use the -R command-line parameter.
e.g. to create tags for files of all known filetypes in the current directory
and below, and sort them ignoring case:
ctags -R --sort=foldcase
To create tags for java files only, in the current directory and below, and
sort them not ignoring case
ctags -R --languages=java
To create tags for only classes, interfaces and methods, java files only, in
the current directory and below, sort not ignoring case
ctags -R --languages=java --java-kinds=cim
etc.

Hello,
I wanted to know how can I efficiently browse java source code in VIM? That is
to say that I should be able to jump to class and methods definition etc. I
tried using ctags, but could not use it to produce tags for java source. The
code is distributed across multiple source directories in a hierarchy. I have
heard about jtags, but I was not able to install that on my home directory. any
hints?
-Khubaib
Exuberant ctags knows about Java (I have version 5.5.4 installed).
Java tags kinds:
c classes
f fields
i interfaces
l local variables [off]
m methods
p packages
Best regards,
Tony.
