The problem is that jde-sort-imports temporarily defines sort-fold-case
just before invoking sort-lines. Invoking sort-lines causes the sort
package to be loaded. Since sort-fold-case is already defined, the sort
package does not bother to define it. Then sort-lines returns to
jde-sort-lines which proceeds to destroy the temporary copy of
sort-fold-case. The next release (2.2.6beta4) fixes the problem by having
jde-sort-lines require the sort package before invoking sort-lines.
Meanwhile, you should be able to cure it by putting
(require 'sort)
in your .emacs file.
