If assoc-string doesn't exists in Emacs 23, then probably this change
was premature. I use GNU Emacs 22.2.1 which is default in Ubuntu 9.04
and during compilation i have this warning:
[exec] jde-gen.el:3609:23:Warning: `assoc-ignore-case' is an obsolete
function; use
[exec] `assoc-string' instead.
Bu maybe this function was removed in Emacs 23 and assoc-ignore-case is
not obsolete anymore?
assoc-string is described in emacs lisp manual (at the bottom):
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Text-Comparison.html#Text-Comparison
IMHO new versions of JDEE should be targeted at recent versions (22,23)
of Emacs, but maybe someone has good reason to keep compatibility with
older versions.
Emacs is released more often now, so probably there will be need to
keep compatibility with one or two versions back.
Is XEmacs synchronized somehow with GNU Emacs? Because this also can be
a problem, when functions are obsoleted and their replacements are only
in GNU Emacs not in both.
