class/function browser

[rocco.rossi]

I do most of my programming in Scheme, but when using languages like
Java and C, I kind of miss the class/function browser functionality
that you get in IDEs or even very cool editors like GEdit or Geany on
Ubuntu. Is it  possible to have this in Emacs as well? It certainly
would be nice.

Thanks.

This is a faqing FAQ.

Try googling for EDE, ECB, semantic, speedbar, intellisense,
cedet, jdee, (x)cscope, GNU global, (e)tags or just "emacs and
IDE".

Try the Emacs Wiki at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki
or CEDET's homepage http://cedet.sourceforge.net/ede.shtml.

It would be easier to answer your question if you could be more
specific to the features you're looking for.

It's not very likely that people who are familiar with GEdit or
Geany, think that these Editors are cool and therefor know about the
features you are talking about hang out in Emacs newsgroups.

PS: I'm quite convinced that GEdit or Geany, not to forget Emacs,
    do have all the same features, even the cool ones, on
    every platform they are running and that their features are
    not limited at all to Ubuntu ;-)

Read about Ebrowse, which is part of Emacs.  It has its own manual
(also part of the Emacs distribution), so don't look for its docs in
the Emacs manual.
