Its a little under-developed at the moment. Its GPL'd so
Paul could stick it into the JDE if he wanted, however for the moment
Id rather it didn't go in, as I want to do a few others things with it
first. In the end several of the things that I would like it to do
would require hooks into the JDE (which might be there already, I
haven't investigated yet) so it should go in. Specifically for
instance I would like to limit the key bindings to JDE run buffers,
rather than globally binding to comint, or possible have it working as
a mini minor-mode, so that people could use it within log files. Also
I want a "next-stack" command with a binding in JDE buffers, like the
compile mode "next-error" command.
None of it is exactly rocket science. It would probably
only take a few hours to do the coding. But as it goes with these
things deciding exactly what it should do is always the hard part and
takes a little longer, if less intensive work. And of course finding
time for anything is always a push.
Add all of this together previous experience tells me
that a month is about how long it will take for me to finish it. Or
two weeks if my java coding goes crap and I get lots of stack
traces. Under such circumstances Ill be able to convince myself that I
really need it, and I like to code lisp for sharp relief from java
anyway. After that its up to Paul...
