Hello Paul, It is JDE 2.2.9beta8.
Maybe this info can help.... When i do a M-x describe-variable jde-help-docsets the value shown is the following: (("javadoc" "x:\\products\\jdk-1.3.1_02\\docs\\api" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "x:\\products\\junit-3.7\\javadoc" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "x:\\products\\log4j-1.1.3\\docs\\api" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "x:\\products\\jaxp-1.1\\docs\\api" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "x:\\products\\oracle_jdbc-8.1.7\\doc" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "x:\\products\\eospac-1.0.EA2\\doc\\api\\" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "u:/projects/devel/elektra/modules/persistence/doc/javadoc" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("javadoc" "u:/projects/devel/elektra/modules/integrator/doc/javadoc" jde-help-find-javadoc) ("JDK API" "" nil)) These values are added like this: (add-to-list 'jde-help-docsets (list "javadoc" x 'jde-help-find-javadoc)) Where x is a string. Then when I do a M-x customize-variable jde-help-docsets then the customization buffer shows this: jde-help-docsets: Hide (list (list "JDK API" "" nil)) State: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer. (mismatch) Lists collections of HTML files documenting Java classes. Hide This list is used by the `jde-help-class' command to find help for a class. You can specify the following information for each docset: Friday, January 25, 2002, 11:58:02 AM, you wrote: Paul> Max Rydahl Andersen writes: Paul> > I've discovered a "oddity" with jde-help-docsets :) Paul> > Paul> > It seems that the third parameter which designates the doc-lookup-function Paul> > has to be something other than nil, even though it is ignored by the jde Paul> > lookup facility when it simply is a "javadoc" type of docset.
