[CEDET-devel] CEDET, ECB, JDE "big picture"; EDE: NO "Project" menu item appears

[Kai T. <ver...@co...>]

First of all: A big thank You for the terrific CEDET suite You have =
built so far.

My aim is to use XEmacs as a comfortable IDE - as of now for web app =
development
((X)HTML, JavaScript, CFML/CFScript (Coldfusion), etc.).

I would like to have: Proper Code
- indentation
- colorization
- smart completion/intellisense (based on project context)
- templates/generation (based on project context)
- browsing (based on project context)

I'm running:
- Windows 98
- XEmacs 21.4, patch 13, Rational Fortran,=20
- CygWin as AddOn
- cedet-1.0beta3b
- ecb-2.27
- jde-2.3.3=20

So I have just installed the hottest CEDET, ECB, JDE stuff.
Another weapon in my quiver would be ELSE (Emacs Language Sensitive =
Editor).

My questions are as follows:

GENERAL: Is there a document describing the "big picture" of how to best =
achieve
my goals described above with the tool suite installed ?=20
Since I will use languages which are not yet available "out of the box", =
I wonder
if I can describe them once and use this description for a whole bunch =
of tasks=20
(colorization, indentation, browsing, etc.).=20
How far can "project context" be supported ?
Has anybody used "ELSE" collaborating with CEDET ?



CONCRETE: When I load the EDE, unfortunately NO "Project" menu item =
appears. What
could be going wrong there ?=20
Or would it be better to use JDE instead of EDE for project management =
purposes=20
- even for projects other than Java projects ?


I'm kind of stuck now - especially with regard to the provision of a =
proper project=20
context -, so helping answers would be greatly appreciated.

Please let me be assured that using XEmacs for web app development is=20
a wise decision - also in the Windows world.
