jdee

The JDEE is an add-on software package that turns Emacs into a comprehensive system for creating, editing, debugging, and documenting Java applications.

Building JDEE requires Apache Ant

JDEE can use Beanshell for some operations - available from http://www.beanshell.org/. Copy bsh-2.0b4.jar to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, or put it in CLASSPATH.

Install from distribution

FIXME: need ELPA package

For more information, see doc/install.html

Build from source options

1. Available Ant targets: ant -p
2. (Always) Run unit tests: ant test
3. Run JUnit tests: ant test-java
4. Build project: ant bindist

To use this built distribution without installation, in your .emacs add:

  (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/jdee/dist/jdee-2.4.2/lisp")
  (load "jde-autoload")

If hacking on jde lisp, it is better to build in the git-controlled source directory, by adding:

build.lisp.dir=${project.dir}/lisp

to ~/.jdee-config.properties (%USERDATA%/.jdee-config.properties on Windows)
