Thanks, Paul. I found and read an archived email from Aug 13 titled
"Saving Only Changed Variables in prj.el files", which gave me a
better appreciation of the complexity of this issue.
I guess then I better take a step back and tell you what I am trying
to do and ask the best way to do it:
I have two kinds of java source files, with different extensions,
specifically ".java" and ".coll". I want to use a different
"compiler" for each type of file (as well as eventually adjust the
imenu regexps differently for each).
So, I defined a derived mode coll-mode as follows (and added it to the
auto-mode-alist):
(define-derived-mode coll-mode jde-mode "JDE-Coll"
"..."
(make-local-variable 'jde-compiler)
(setq jde-compiler "collc")
)
I am also using the faster Cafe compiler instead of javac for regular
.java files (I will eventually try jikes as you recommend):
(add-hook 'jde-mode-hook
(function
(lambda ()
(make-local-variable 'jde-compiler)
(setq jde-compiler "sj")
...)))
This seems to work ok, but is it the "correct" thing to do with all the
jde projects files and customization stuff going on?
Btw, the usual way I would do this would be to do a toplevel
(setq-default jde-compiler "sj") instead of the jde-mode-hook
code above, but I discovered that does not work, due to
jde-set-variables-init-value.
Thanks in advance, -Chuck
