Hi Stuart, I've pretty much given up on etags because it is too simple-minded to handle object-oriented languages, such as Java, C++, and Common Lisp, that allow contextually resolved synonyms. My ultimate goal is to provide a Java-specific solution for the JDE. Soebody already has provide some code for this but it needs to be restructured a bit to fit cleanly into the JDE framework and I plan to do this in the near future. Meanwhile I have been using a combination of the JDE's find class and recursive grepping facilities to find definitions of symbols. - Paul
