Hi! I see from August 10, 2011 that you merged many things from your Android branch over to the trunk, so that CEDET now has greater support for Java (among other things). Thanks! In your notice, you wrote, "If you just do Java w/out Android, you can setup your classpath in Emacs, and also enjoy full smart completion on a wide array of syntaxes." What exactly does this mean? For instance the only place I see in Emacs (really, in CEDET) to set up a classpath is semanticdb-javap-classpath. Is that what you're referring to? Is this all that's needed, or are there other steps that are needed? For instance, I have not (yet) set up any specific EDE projects for my Java projects. In the past, I'd used ede-cpp-root in order to specify :system-include-path, and that actually worked well at finding Java source files. I also once subclassed ede-cpp-root to do essentially the same thing. Is an EDE project still necessary? Seems like it would be, though I wonder if I can get away with just using semanticdb-project-roots instead. That never worked for me in the past, though I'm not sure why. Thanks!
