I want to use it for Java development. An article I am reading shows how to do this, and I have downloaded several .el files. What directory do I put these files in? Also, the article says to modify my .emacs file. I have not been able to find a .emacs file in my Emacs directory. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
