Hello,
I've spent several hours trying to install JDE with no luck. Here are the
facts
OS: Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, service pack 5
Emacs version: GNU Emacs 20.6.1 (i386-*nt4.0.1381)
JDE version: 2.1.6 beta21 (also tried 2.1.5, same lack of
results)
HOME directory: D:\Home
JDE location D:\Home\emacs\site\jde-2.1.6beta21
.emacs file D:\Home\.emacs.txt
I tried to rename the .emacs.txt file to .emacs but Windows insisted that
the file must have a type.
The complete contents of .emacs file:
;; This .emacs file illustrates the minimal setup
;; required to run the JDE.
;; Update the Emacs load-path to include the path to
;; the JDE. This code assumes that you have installed
;; the JDE in the specified subdirectory of your home
;; directory.
(setq load-path
(nconc
'("~/emacs/site/jde-2.1.6beta21/lisp")
load-path))
;; Tell Emacs to load the entire JDE package at startup (only once).
(require 'jde)
;; Sets the basic indentation for Java source files
;; to two spaces.
(defun my-jde-mode-hook ()
(setq c-basic-offset 2))
(add-hook 'jde-mode-hook 'my-jde-mode-hook)
I based this file on examples from the JDE website. I recently started using
Emacs simply to try out JDE, and so do not have an extensive set of
customizations.
Emacs runs just fine, but so far as I can tell, the JDE does not load. The
test I have tried is switching Emacs into java mode and looking for the JDE
menu. It does not appear. Is this an appropriate test? If not, what is?
Further comments:
Using Emacs to evaluate the expression
(insert (getenv "HOME"))
returns
D:\Home
so I gather that Emacs knows where the Home directory is.
I have not attempted to install the Cygnus tools.
Thank you,
David Cabana
