XEmacs does not define many functions defined by Emacs and vice versa. It is
possible to write code to work for both. My strategy is to develop first for
GNU Emacs, because it is the version I prefer on Windows, which is my primary
development platform. JDEbug is still in beta. Consequently I have not made any
concerted effort to fix XEmacs compatibility issues. As it happens, the problem
you have encountered is fixed in the next release because I happened to be
testing the latest version of NT/XEmacs to see if it is ready for prime time
Java development (it isn't in my opinion).
I advise using GNU Emacs for Java development on Windows. If you insist on
using XEmacs, expect to encounter many JDE compatibility issues and bugs in
XEmacs itself that hamper Java development.
