System Requirements
  • The latest version of Emacs or XEmacs on Unix platforms; NT/Emacs on Windows platforms.
  • The JDEE works with previous minor versions of Emacs and XEmacs 20. However, technical support is provided only for the latest versions.
  • The latest version of eieio , an object-oriented Emacs Lisp package developed by Eric Ludlam
  • speedbar , a tree-structured file browser developed by Eric Ludlam. See the production release notes for the version of speedbar required by the production release of the JDEE and beta release notes for the version of speedbar required by the beta release of the JDEE.
  • semantic , a parser generator developed by Eric Ludlam. (See ReleaseNotes for required version) See the production release notes for the version of semantic required by the production release of the JDEE and beta release notes for the version of semantic required by the beta release of the JDEE. NoteThe semantic package uses an Emacs facility called overlays heavily. This triggers a bug on some versions of Emacs that results in incomplete fontification (syntax coloring) of Java buffers. To fix this problem, download and install overlay-fix.el.
  • The Emacs Lisp library (elib) package. You can download the package in compressed tar or zip format from the JDEE web site.
  • Java Development Kit (JDK) or compatible set of Java development tools (compiler, virtual machine, debugger, class libraries, etc.)
  • Web browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) for viewing documentation. See Specifying a Browser for information on configuring Emacs to use a browser.
  • bash or other Unix-style shell highly recommended for Windows95/NT environments.
