Oddly enough there is a message on the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup on this
same subject and somebody pointed out that there is already a variable
compilation-search-directories that allows you to specifiy directories for
searching for source files. I don't think this will work if you use
qualified source file names in your makefile.
Perhaps all the JDE really needs to do is to update
compilation-search-directories with the value of jde-db-source-directories.
