trouble generating Javadoc with JDEE

trouble generating Javadoc with JDEE

[Malte Spiess]

Hi fellas,

I'm having some trouble generating the docu with jde(e) here on my
Debian system with the Emacs snapshot and Sun Java6.

I have updated the alternatives, that means that I can enter javadoc as
any user and it will use the appropriate version (in case this matters)
as supposed by the guide on the JDEE homepage. More precisely speaking
the link /usr/bin/javadoc is set as it should be. Thus using javadoc on
a terminal works fine.

Still when I do `M-x jde-javadoc-make` in a buffer showing a .java file
all I get is
apply: Symbol's value as variable is void: compilation-nomessage-regexp-alist
.

Has anyone an idea why this happens?

Any help is appreciated!

Malte

It works for me, using jde version 2.3.5.1 (C-h v jde-version) and gjdoc
(installed java-gcj-compat-dev , which is also in Debian testing).  I
have the below customizations on javadoc, neither of which should matter
here:

'(jde-javadoc-checker-level (quote private))
'(jde-javadoc-gen-args (quote ("-validhtml")))

Do any features of JDE work?

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

Hm, I don't think so either.

> Do any features of JDE work?

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-global-classpath (quote ("/home/mspiess/java/bin")))
| '(jde-help-docsets (quote (("JDK API" "/usr/share/doc/sun-java6-doc/html/api/" nil))))
| '(jde-javadoc-gen-destination-directory "~/java/doc/")
| '(jde-javadoc-gen-packages (quote ("~/java/src/")))
| '(jde-jdk (quote ("1.5")))
| '(jde-jdk-registry (quote (("1.5" . "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/"))))
| '(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

That's obviously a lot of stuff, some of which I don't completely
understand.  I would try commenting most/all out, and trying again.  If
it works, you can add stuff back gradually until you find a problem.

That also works for me.

Sorry, no access to the computer during the weekend, but now I'm back!

Meanwhile I've tried it with Emacs 21 and this works. So it must be a
problem with the interaction between Emacs 22 and JDE.

That doesn't work with Emacs 21 either. I don't know, just doesn't seem
to find the file.

Btw.: Interestingly in the user guide it says "Revised for JDEE 2.3.6"...

Well, thanks for your help, I hope they will fix the problems with Emacs
22 soon. (I suppose you use version 21?)

Strange.  I should mention that I installed JDE manually from
http://jdee.sunsite.dk/jde-latest.tar.gz (though probably not the
current version) .  If you're using the Debian package, they may have
removed the docs.

Yes, 21.4.1.  I should have said earlier.

Best,

A, that explains a lot. I have found a bug report meanwhile:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=235164

The docu is there, only in the wrong place... since 3 years! But I will
probably make a symlink manually or something like that.

Okay, no problem.

Alright, so now I know what I'm at and can figure out some ways to solve
the problems with the Debian package and Emacs 22 (or maybe not ;-) ).

Thanks again
