Hi, Install the latest beta JDE 2.2.9beta9
2.2.9 is way better than 2.2.8 Concerning the difficulty of installation, I did not find it difficult after reading the installation instructions on jdee home page http://jdee.sunsite.dk/ I'd suggest alsow to download and compile emacs-21 if there isn't a binary version of it for AIX already This mailing list is pretty tolerant & friendly to newbies. regards slava On Wed, 2002-03-27 at 23:55, Chris Fisichella wrote: > First, let me say congrats to those of you out there that made jdee a > reality.
