Version 2.0.2 of the Java Development Environment for Emacs
is available for downloading from the JDE home page

or its mirror

JDE 2.0.2  provides new features and fixes some bugs
in previous release:

New Features
============

* Abbreviation Mode

  The JDE optionally allows you to define and use
  abbreviations when editing Java source buffers.
  The JDE defines abbreviations for most Java keywords.
  You can modify and/or define additional abbreviations.
  See the JDE User's Guide for more information.

* Automatic startup in debug mode

  You can now specify debugger commands to be issued
  to the debugger at startup. By default, the JDE
  issues commands to set a breakpoint at the beginning
  of your application's main method and run the
  debugger to that initial breakpoint. See the
  JDE User's Guide for more information.

* More code templates

  This release addes code generation templates for

  - mouse motion listener

  - toString method

* Customizable breakpoint marker regular expression

  The regular expression used to detect breakpoints in
  debugger output is now customizable. This provides
  flexibility for supporting debuggers besides jdb.
  See the JDE User's Guide for more information.

Bug Fixes
=========

Release 2.0.1 fixes the following bugs:

* JDE opens spurious source buffers when the stack
  is dumped.

  The current release defines a new default breakpoint
  marker regular expression that matches markers
  contained only in jdb breakpoint messages. This
  eliminates spurious matches.

* Console template command generates jfc template instead.

* Buffer-change detection function hooks every keystroke

  This release makes post-command-hook buffer-local.

About the JDE
=============

The JDE is an Emacs Lisp package that provides a highly configurable 
Emacs wrapper for command-line Java development tools, such as
those provided in JavaSoft's JDK. The JDE provides menu access to a 
Java compiler, debugger, and API doc. The Emacs/JDE combination
adds features typically missing from command-line tools, including: 

* syntax coloring 
* auto indentation 
* abbreviations
* source code generation
* compile error to source links 
* source-level debugging 
* source code browsing 

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