Yeah, forgot the most important version number. It's JDE 2.3.5.1 here, too.

Hm, I don't think so either.

Yes, actually most features that I have used so far work nicely. I
haven't explored all of the nifty stuff yet, but what definitely works
is:
-compiling (C-c C-v C-c / jde-compile)
-running the application (C-c C-v C-r / jde-run)

I've had some trouble with Sun Java version 6, as this is apparently not
yet officially supported, but cheating with the version seems to do the
trick.

Just not to mess my configuration up manually, I have completely used
the customize stuff so far. Here is what I've got in my .emacs:
,----
| '(jde-checkstyle-classpath (quote ("/usr/share/java/checkstyle.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-cli.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-beanutils.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar:/usr/share/java/antlrall.jar")))
| '(jde-checkstyle-style "/home/mspiess/java/checkstyle/sun_checks.xml")
| '(jde-compile-enable-kill-buffer t)

| '(jde-global-classpath (quote ("/home/mspiess/java/bin")))
| '(jde-help-docsets (quote (("JDK API" "/usr/share/doc/sun-java6-doc/html/api/" nil))))

| '(jde-run-option-boot-classpath (quote ("append" "/home/mspiess/java/bin/")))
| '(jde-run-option-classpath "global")
| '(jde-vm-path "/usr/bin/java")
`----

The JDE help seems not to be available either btw. I always get:
jde-show-help: Cannot find JDE help file.

I don't know if the two problems have something to do with each other, but...

Thanks so far
