I was thinking about doing one some time ago. It wouldn't be that
complicated, but it would get real ugly in a hurry. First, JDE depends
on semantic, speedbar, eieio, and a few other things. So either you
package those in the same RPM or you have the JDE RPM require RPMs for
those versions. It can be done and I will do it if the list shows
sufficient interest. However, Paul doesn't have access to a Linux
machine (last I heard) and I doubt he'd want to distribute in something
other than source form. I'm inclined to agree with him, though it would
be nice if JDE could check the RPM database for required versions and
such. And for apt, too, if we want to get fancy.

So if this would be of help to others and new users, I'll cook something
up.

Shall we trademark JMode just in case? It seems many of us, me included,
are willing to help defer the legal cost of one.

It's very possible. I do it every day. Did it five minutes ago, in fact.
:)

Did you follow the setup instructions on http://jde.sunsite.dk/? If not,
back up your .emacs and start from scratch. Follow the instructions
EXACTLY. If you need help with setup, write us back and tell us what the
error is. If that doesn't work, use the problem report tool in JDE which
you can access by JDE->Help->Submit Problem Report.

You probably can't, for two reasons:

1) Sun doesn't compile the Java core classes with -g, which JPDA needs
to see breakpoints.
2) You can't compile the Java sources in src.jar and get rt.jar, since
there are all kinds of native classes and code to deal with the
low-level stuff. 

Of course, I would *love* to be proved wrong here, but until then this
is another great reason to support Classpath. :)

I fail to understand why you want to pass a JDE buffer to a project
builder. Why use a builder at all if you're only concerned about one
file? Or does ant do something else that you're trying to use from
within emacs?
