But I'm curious as to what kind of a project structure would make regular expressions in source paths useful.
The structure that I have at work is one such. We have multiple subprojects side by side:
source
project1
prj.el
com/foo/project1
*.java
project2
prj.el
com/foo/project2
*.java
...
project17
prj.el
com/foo/project17
*.java
products
<similar tree with class files>Some projects depend on others, but the dependency graph is non-cyclic, so we build and test project 1, then project 2 and so on. Each prj.el sets jde-sourcepath to "." and jde-global-classpath to include ../products/<projectName>/<directoriesWithClasses>. Which works, except when I try to jump to a source file in a different subproject. What I'd like to do is set jde-sourcepath to ("." "../*") but instead, I have to manually do ("." "../project1" "../project2" ... "../projectN-1"). Which eventually gets built up in each prj.el. And we frequently add more projects, so even if the list is complete, that's only a temporary condition.
Whether this is a good coding practice is debatable, but it is what we do.
Finally, to handle a path specification like:
*/src/java
the JDEE would have to cycle through every directory on your system, appending /src/java to it, testing whether such a directory exists, and then searching that directory for the source file? Seems like a pretty time-consuming operation that might make finding and opening source files a very slow process.
I'd be happy with just something that expands * like a unix wildcard. So */src/java woudn't be the equivalent of a unix find command, but more like the equivalent of ls */src/java.
