No, it is asking for the command to compile your Java code. "make -k" is the default command, it assumes that you are compiling through the Make utility, and that you wrote a Makefile that Make reads to know how to compile. If you are not familiar with this Make business, just edit the command to be whatever you would type from the shell's prompt to compile your Java source. The prompt shows the default, but lets you edit it. > Are there or is there any documentation on this? There's the "Compilation" node in the Emacs on-line manual. The following key sequence will get you to it: C-h i m Emacs RET g Compilation RET (`C-h' means press Control and type h.)
