I don't understand why you need this. The JDE already allows you to work on
multiple projects in the same session. All you need to do is put a project
file at the root of each project's source directory. The JDE will
automatically load the project file when you open or switch to a buffer in
that source tree. If the source tree has no project file, the JDE will use
whatever settings are in your .emacs file.
