Yeah, I haven't done all my "due diligence" -- I haven't tried flymake and I haven't tried JDEE. Auto-building is just one feature among many, though. Even JDEE, AFAICT, only provides a subset of what Eclipse does. Note that jikes is quite far behind the times, Java-wise. I don't know anybody who uses it any more, because it does not support Java 5. Retrofitting this is a major task and, I think, pointless -- there are already 2 free, compliant Java compilers. I think we dropped jikes from Fedora due to obsolescence. Tom
