I may have found a clue. M-h v j-console-cmd in a fresh Emacs can't find a match. If I run M-x j-console, I find I'm running j-mode-1.1.1, M-h v j-console-cmd shows my customized version (ijconsole).
j-console.el shows (defcustom j-console-cmd "jconsole" "Name of the executable used for the J REPL session" :type 'string :group 'j-console) Is it possible that starting J inside org mode starts a new session and j-console.el redefines j-console-cmd to point to the java console? I'm not sure; I did try redefining that string (changed it to "ijconsole" and then executed the defcustom), and it still failed with /bin/bash: jconsole: command not found. Does that spark any insights? Thanks, Bill On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 6:43 PM, Bill Harris < [email protected]> wrote: > Daniel, > > The computer /is/ plugged in. :-) > > Hmm.
