Seems like a reasonable idea...

But I will, against my better judgment, make the observation that JDEE 
is pretty much "stuck" and that I have had a lot of problems trying to 
ever find a stable combination of repository based Emacs AND some flavor 
of JDEE so I pretty much abandoned JDEE, Paul's excellent work 
notwithstanding.  Should JDEE become unstuck, I'll revisit making it 
work with the Emacs development code.
