Re: Next Gen JDEE

(Resent after bounce -- apologies for lateness)

Oh, gods, really?

Well, I just send a very long email suggesting a future. If no one else
is willing, I will have a go at this. Probably, I should "port" the
whole lot to use rx.el as this may be a bit more maintainable.

Does it handle annotations correctly? I am not going to ask about
lambda, since the answer must be no.

Also indentation? This one I will not volunteer to do, since I never
really learned the indentation engine for CC-mode.
