Yes, this looks very nice, ty. I think something like that should become part of JDE
as soon as possible! I mean, it may not make any difference in the usage compared
to cheating with the version number, but it makes things a lot easier for newbies
(like me).

Additional features of Sun Java 6 may be irrelevant for JDE, but still I would really
appreciate official support.

Btw. the support for the compiler output seems to be limited to version 1.4 - even
worse. :-(
