It seems that this confines users running emacs in a text-only terminal
(not X) to only working with one project at a time. Would it be
possible to switch between this new scheme and the current functionality
so that it is possible to use multiple projects in a text-only
terminal? Maybe it is as simple as adding a jde-mode-hook that switches
the project upon entering a buffer if the source belongs to a different
project and emacs is not running under X? If full functionality of the
current JDE can be maintained by this or some other means under in a
text-only terminal, then I'd say this sounds pretty nice. If not, I'd
be torn. I like the new feature, but I do use emacs in text-only
terminals sometimes and I don't want to lose the automatic project
switching.
