The JDE provides abbreviations for commonly used Java keywords. It
initializes the abbrev mode table and enables abbrev-mode whenever you load
a source file if jde-enable-abbrev-mode is nonnil. It does this whenever
you open a source file because different projects may have different
abbreviations. Initializing the abbrevs table makes Emacs file save
routines think that the abbrevs have changed and so it tries to save them.
The next JDE release will set the variable abbrevs-changed to nil in
jde-mode after initializing the abbrev table. This should eliminate the
needless prompt. Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can insert
(setq abbrevs-changed nil)
in your jde-mode hook function.
