[CEDET-devel] ede/java-root.el project type

[Eric M. L. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi,

   There have been several requests lately for ways to do Java projects 
that aren't Android.  So far the answer has been a bit of a hack with 
the ede/cpp-root project type.

   I replicated that into ede/java-root, and removed the C++ stuff, and 
added in some Java tricks instead.  I've given this a brief try on a 
fake project to prove the basic file finding features work to myself. 
For those on this list who have made a hybrid with the ede-cpp-root 
project, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give this a try to 
see if it helps with the ambiguities of the classpath setting, and 
finding other java files in your project.

   Just place the attachment into lisp/cedet/ede/ in your copy of a 
recent checkout from bzr, and force load it in your .emacs file:

(require 'ede/java-root)

   and follow the basic directions in the comments.


Some todos and questions for this project type I need help with:

* Is it useful in a real project?
* test the :classpath slot functionality.  Doc it.
* Is a single "srcroot" slot sufficient to cover all projects?
* Are there other target types needed common in java repositories?
   (resources, xml, etc...)

I don't do much Java development, even on Android anymore, so any help 
here would be appreciated.


Thanks
Eric
