It looks like your main goal is to remotely debug your application. There is a good debugger, more 'user friendly' and productive than jdb and jdebug (bundled with jdee).
Have a look into jdibug: http://jdibug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/jdibug.html It is also a good idea to have a look into the jdee User's Guide http://jdee.sourceforge.net/jdedoc/html/jde-ug/jde-ug.html The jde-usages plugin is also very useful, especially for developing medium/large scale projects (it has some issues, but it is good enough): http://jde-usages.sourceforge.net/ Finally, you may also be interested in using flymake with your java projects: http://jwickers.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/tweaking-flymake-for-java/ If you want to use the sun java compiler, you only need to install the required jdk, define the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add the bin folder to your path. You can ignore the java gnu compiler or simply uninstall it. I think jdee is an excellent framework, and it will be even more as soon as java 1.5 is supported. Dropping beanshell and adopting a groovy interpreter instead it would be, eventually, useful. Specially for java 1.5 support and faster shell experiments. There is a framework malabar-mode that replaced bsh for groovy. Looks interesting but I never managed to use it properly (tried it a year ago). On the other hand it is not as flexible as jdee. I would say that some of this project ideas could be adopted/reused/copied into jdee (like malabar-mode did with jdee). http://github.com/espenhw/malabar-mode On Thu, 2010-04-29 at 11:08 -0600, Mark Lehrer wrote: > Hello there!
