Heather, You should not need to include the JDK rt.jar file explicitly in jde-global-classpath to get completion on the standard JDK classes, at least I don't need to do this in the latest beta of the JDE. BTW, I recommend that you upgrade to the latest beta version of the JDE. It is stable and easier for me to support because I cannot remember the limitations of JDE 2.2.8. I need to release 2.2.9 because it is now light years beyond JDE 2.2.8 in capabilities and features. > 2) I have done the following to construct a classpath for my project: > > set a project-specific global classpath and saved it "for this session > only" > saved my project file to write my project-specific classpath permanently > for my project > set a default global classpath and saved it for future sessions > > When I open my project, is my classpath only the one that I saved to my > project file, or does > it include the default global classpath that I saved for future > sessions, as well?

It may be necessary to include rt.jar in jde-global-classpath if you ar using JDE 2.2.8. - Paul
