Ongoing bsh interface problem

Hi,

The jde package on Debian has been more or less broken the last
several years and I thought I would have a go at fixing it.

The major problem is with bsh.  I am using Debian Testing with JDEE
2.3.5 and BeanShell 2.0b4.  In a default install, an attempt to
compile a "Hello World" program with C-c C-v C-c results in the
following error:


Starting the BeanShell. Please wait...
Beanshell expression evaluation error.
  Expression: jde.util.JdeUtilities.setProjectValues("",  "");
  Error: // Error: EvalError: Class or variable not found:
  jde.util.JdeUtilities : at Line: 1 : in file: <unknown file> : jde
  .util .JdeUtilities .setProjectValues ( "" , "" )
 [2 times]
bsh: Beanshell eval error. See messages buffer for details.


Thinking this was a classpath error, I did "export
CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/jde.jar" and restarted Emacs.  This time C-c
C-v C-c gave me a compile buffer which contained:



Updating class list for /home/glenn

(Repeats with some variations many times)


Adding the current directory to the CLASSPATH helps: export
CLASSPATH="./:/usr/share/java/jde.jar" will make the compilation
worked once, but not again.  After it finishes compiling, it says
"Updating class list for /home/glenn" and hangs there for some minutes
while the hard drive grinds away.  A second attempt at compilation
gives the repeated error message above.  It seems to be traversing the
file system.  Run it again and get


CompileServer output:

-classpath /home/glenn/:/usr/share/java/jde.jar /home/glenn/Test.java


The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Compilation exited abnormally with code 3 at Wed Mar  8 16:49:42


Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?


Thanks,
Glenn
