Hi Mitch,

Have a look at the (very minimal) documentation for JessDE, chapter 4
of the new Jess manual. The last paragraph of this chapter says:

  One feature bears explaining: sometimes one clp file depends on code
  in some other clp file having been read first; for example, rules.clp
  might need the definitions in templates.clp. Without these
  definitions, rules.clp will appear to have syntax errors. To deal with
  this, JessDE provides a "source dependencies" property for each clp
  file. To set the value of this property, right-click on a file in the
  Package Explorer or Navigator view, and choose "Source Dependencies"
  in the left column. Enter a comma-separated list of filenames in the
  text field.

Suggestions for making this more intuitive are appreciated. The UI
itself could be better, of course -- there could be a file picker
instead of a text field.

Right now the JessDE is using file-oriented model of the code; in the
final release the model will be more program-oriented, so it may be
possible that JessDE could figure these depenendencies out on its own.
