Hello,
I cannot get JDB working properly with XEmacs - is this because of the
problem described by Paul Kinnucan in a recent message on the JDE list?
>> ... The current version of NT/XEmacs has a bug in its external process
invocation code that prevents display of GUI Java apps launched by the JDE.
I'd recommend NOT using NT/XEmacs for Java development until this issue is
resolved. The XEmacs team has promised to alert me as soon as the bug is
fixed. ... <<
This was dated 11 May 1999 - can anyone offer a situation update? I don't
need GUI support just yet.
The symptoms are as described by others on NT/Emacs - no Jdb menu, no "=>"
in the source panel. I get a message
"Error: Could not find MainClass.java. See jde-db-source-directories."
when I type "step" into the comint window (though otherwise it works fine,
locals are viewable etc.) Entering
jde-db-source-directories ^J
into the scratch buffer prints
"f:/InfoGain/JavaCourse/Examples/Polymorphism/"
- I then executed
(dired "f:/InfoGain/JavaCourse/Examples/Polymorphism/")
just to make sure it was happy with the forward slashes, and it displays
the dired window without problems, showing MainClass.java.
I'm assuming that everything is case-sensitive, even if it shouldn't be,
and I don't have spaces in file/dir names. Why can't it find the file?
If this is a non-starter I'll reluctantly go back to JBuilder 2 -- but I
much prefer this environment - especially for non-GUI code.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Thomas.
