Re: xref help
From where are you doing a C-c C-v a? From inside a function should work. Also, to get useful results, you need classfiles that match up with your sources. So if your classfiles are out of date by a while, you may see some strange things. I haven't heard of problems like you've described, however. When you see the call tree, you should get children grouped by class, where the children are the functions that call the function you are interested in. Clicking on the children should take you right to the caller. I'm not sure if any of this will help. If you think the generated xref db must be wrong, then I can tell you how to manually go in and verify that it is wrong. aaron armstrong [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Andrew, Thanks for helping me create the xref db. Now I'm trying to use it and I'm a little confused by the way it works. When I display the call tree I get information about classes that don't actually call the method I'm interested in. Then if I do C-c C-v a (xref-first) it takes me to the beginning of the class rather than the place that actually calls the method. Is this the expected behavior? thanks aaron

Re: xref help
Andrew, Thanks - it must be that my xref-db is out of date. Does jde-xref-update update the db or do I need to rebuild it? I a working on a very large code base so is there any way to just update what has changed or just update files/packages i specify? thanks aaron At Thu, 19 Feb 2004 14:42:09 -0800, Andrew Hyatt wrote: From where are you doing a C-c C-v a?

Re: xref help
jde-xref-update will only work if you edit all your files in the same instance of emacs, then update. I would advise doing a full rebuild nightly while your machine and emacs is idle (use the emacs timer functions). If the creation of the database is slow, make sure your jde-parse-class.el is byte-compiled into jde-parse-class.elc. I've also noticed that it works faster on a brand-new emacs then one that already has a bunch of stuff in memory. aaron armstrong [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Andrew, Thanks - it must be that my xref-db is out of date.
