Our situation is a bit different. Sometimes we work on several projects
at the same time, and having a single project file is then not a
solution. It would be nice if JDE would dynamically build a projects
menu based on files founds in a default directory as well as in a users
home directory (ofcourse both of these directories should be
configurable). Perhaps this should not be restricted to just two
directories and instead have a list of directories to look in?
When the user wants to switch to a new projects definition, it should be
possible to select if the change should be a global one (i.e. affecting
all currently opened buffers and all new buffers), or just the currently
selected buffer. The modeline should somehow reflect which project file
is currently loaded in the currently selected buffer.
When saving a projects defintion it should be put in the users own
directory (which could be overridden by the user) and ideally there
should also be an option to update the contents of the menu at runtime
based on the current contents of the directories.
What do you think?

That would be great!

I was doing object-oriented assembly when I was 1 year old...
For some reason my mom insists on calling it "Playing with blocks"
