* Improvements to syntax coloring contributed by David Ponce:

  - All extra fontification added by jde-java-font-lock has a specific
    face.  So there is less font-lock implementation dependencies,
    greater flexibility to setup a color theme, and fontification can
    be kept consistent across Emacs flavors. Notice that this change
    may require to redo some face customization.

  - For convenience all specific jde-java-font-lock faces are in the
    customization group `jde-java-font-lock-faces' which is a sub group
    of `font-lock-highlighting-faces' (Emacs) or `font-lock-faces'
    (XEmacs).

  - Better fontification of numbers and imported package names.

  - When used interactively the command
    `jde-java-font-lock-setup-keywords' automatically update
    fontification of all Java buffers.  This is very useful when you
    change your API file for example!


  - The `jde-setup-syntax-coloring' is greatly enhanced.  On Emacs, it
    takes care of the current `global-font-lock-mode' setting.  Also, it
    no more use `font-lock-defaults-alist' (which is an obsolete
    variable on Emacs 21) but the preferred `font-lock-defaults' way to
    setup fontification.


  - Finally, jde-java-font-lock works in java-mode too and it can be
    used standalone if needed.


* Extended support for relative path, environment variable substitution, 
  etc., to all JDE paths. 
 
  Thanks to Nick Sieger for this enhancement.

* XEmacs compatibility fix: pass nil third argument to local-variable-if-set-p.
  Thanks to Nick Sieger.
