This is all I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Given parent class
bsh-compilation-buffer is not a class")
  signal(error ("Given parent class bsh-compilation-buffer is not a class"))
  error("Given parent class %s is not a class" bsh-compilation-buffer)
  eieio-defclass(jde-compile-server-buffer (bsh-compilation-buffer)
nil ("Compiler server buffer."))
  require(jde-compile)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*<2>> nil "jmaker" nil t)
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/sunnan/Program/elisp/jmaker.el"
"jmaker" nil t)
  require(jmaker)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "~/.emacs" nil t)
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/sunnan/.emacs" "~/.emacs" t t)

So I figure that commenting out
(require 'jmaker)
(require 'jde-eclipse-compiler-server)
in my .emacs would let me start emacs. The weird thing is that doing
that, and then re-requiring them after I've started emacs and loaded
jde-mode works.

So I added (require 'jde) and now everything works again!
Thanks for getting me started!
(You know, it actually says "Start Emacs with the `--debug-init'
option to view a complete error backtrace"... I feel pretty dumb now.)
