java syntax highlighting with generics

java syntax highlighting with generics

[gg.t.gadget_saavik]

First of all, is there a version of java-mode or JDE (I'm a little
confused as to the relationship if any between the two) that can
handle generics and type parameters?
If so, how do I go about getting it?

I am using the Emacs distribution that comes with Red Hat Enterprise 3
and method declarations with type parameters don't have the method
names colored, nor do they show up as speedbar tags.

My exact Emacs version is:
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2006-05-03 on hs20-bc1-3.build.redhat.com

By the way, how can I display the version number in such a way that I
can select it to copy and paste?

I don't know! But isn't JDE just a generic acronym for *any* Java  
Development Environment? The different modes in GNU Emacs support for  
example programming languages by high-lighting particular key words  
or indenting blocks of code. Another means is that you can insert  
from a menu particular key words or get special menus.

Could be that auto-mode-alist has no mapping provided for your Java  
files:

(setq auto-mode-alist
   (append
     '(("\\.java\\'" . java-mode)
    auto-mode-alist)))

C-h v reveals a variable's value.

Either C-h v emacs-version RET and then copy from the *Help* buffer,  
or M-x emacs-version RET and then change to *Messages* buffer.

One doesn't expect governments to obey the law because of some higher  
moral development.  One expects them to obey the law because they  
know that if they don't, those who aren't shot will be hanged.

No. JDE (JDEE in full) is a specific package: http://jdee.sunsite.dk/.
It could use java-mode and add the code completion, debugging, and
other features, but I can't remember if it does or comes with its own
mode.

The java-mode in the upcoming Emacs 22 does not yet support generics.
I don't know about JDEE.

Or even M-: (insert (emacs-version)) RET.

I got one more: M-x report-emacs-bug RET ? RET – or Help menu -> Send  
Bug Report. And then also ? RET in mini-buffer.


And no need to actually send the eMail ...

`C-u M-x emacs-version RET'

Much better. I hereby withdraw my suggestion. Thanks, Reiner!
