  • syntax coloring
  • auto indentation
  • compile error to source links
  • source-level debugging
  • source code browsing
  • make file support
  • automatic code generation
  • Java source interpreter (Pat Neimeyer's BeanShell)

The JDEE supports both Emacs (Unix and Windows versions) and XEmacs. It is freely available under the GNU public license.

Sample .emacs file
This bundle provides the downloads for setting up Emacs with the latest Java Development (JDE) and also the latest Java-mode for Emacs. You do not need the latest version of Emacs to use JDE and the latest cc-mode. Note: version 5.26 of cc-mode is required for customizing the indentation. It is also recommended to byte-compile CC Mode, for both performance and compatibility reasons. Refer to the README in the cc-mode installation directory for details. The sample .emacs preferences file shows how to enable JDE, use spaces for tabs, control the indentation, removal of CTRL-M using a function-key, print and more is also provided.
