Type
C-h v jde-dbug-jpda-directory
in your Emacs session.
Emacs displays
jde-bug-jpda-directory's value is
""
Documentation:
*Pathname of the directory containing Sun's Java Platform Debug
Architecture distribution. You need to set this variable only if this
project uses a JDK 1.2 vm.
You can customize this variable.
Defined in `jde-bug'.
The word customize in the above message is underlined indicating it is a
hyperlink. Click on the hyperlink. Emacs displays:
Jde Bug Jpda Directory: [Hide]
[State]: this option is unchanged from its standard setting.
Pathname of the directory containing Sun's Java Platform Debug Architecture
[Hide]
distribution. You need to set this variable only if this project uses a JDK
1.2 vm.
Parent groups: [Jde Bug]
Enter the path to the JPDA directory on your system (I assume you have
installed it)
and click the State button. Simulink displays a save menu. Choose "Save
for future sessions" to store the JPDA path in your .emacs file.
Emacs does have pretty nice help and customization facilities. In fact, I
can't think of another system that makes it so easy to look up the meaning
of an option and then immediately set it. I make a conscious effort to
ensure that the JDE supports Emacs doc and customization facilities so that
you can count on them when you have a question.
