Hi Chris, After opening a Java file, Emacs runs jde-mode, which among other things, searches up the directory tree containing the source file for a project file. If the root of the tree is a remote system, it's possible that the project file search ends in an error, aborting jde-mode before it gets a chance to load the JDE menus.I could give you a more definitive answer if you had provided more information (see the JDEE website for info on what info to provide when asking for tech support.) There have been several patches to the project file search code since JDE 2.2.8 designed to handle remote file systems. I don't recall if the patches handle the EFS case. You might try JDEE 2.2.9beta10, which is a vast improvement over JDEE 2.2.8 and is very stable. Please let me know if the problem persists under JDEE 2.2.9beta10. - Paul
