I have a very reasonable understanding of Project files and a meger
understanding of Emacs Lisp.
I need to work with multiple JDKs depending on the projects I am working
with. I know that I can set the project file up to switch between the JDK's
provided I hardwire the path name to the JDK in the project file. What I
would like is some way to make that more dynamic so that when I install a
new version of the JDK all I have to do is redefine an environment variable
and JDE would pick up on that. In particular, I was recently working with
JDK1.2 and have just installed JDK1.2.2. All my project files had the
compiler defined as "c:/jdk1.2/bin/javac". This, obviously, has to be
changed.
Instead of putting the string "javac" in the project file, could I put a
reference to a ELisp function that would return the correct string? I could
see a function like:
(defun jdk2 (a)
(concat (getenv "JDK2") a))
Where "JDK2" was an environment variable for the current JDK1.2
installation. Then in the project file replacing the entry for "javac" with
(jdk2 "javac") or the equivalent.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
