Current CEDET version in the trunk

[Christoph]

Hi Eric and all,

Inspired by the current CEDET discussion, I decided to seriously try out 
Semantic from Emacs 24.0.50 (trunk) today.

Going through the Semantic manual I tried all kinds of things to figure 
out what the current state of the integration with Emacs is.

The Semantic manual is a good way to get started, but there are quite a 
few things that do not work according to the manual and it is not 
obvious how to make it work. For example, using Smart completion (with 
semantic-complete-analyze-inline) the manual says that M-n/M-p select 
the next/previous matches. This does not work. M-n/M-p does nothing. C-h 
k in this mode says, the keys are not assigned to anything.

I assume this is because of the current state of the integration?

Nevertheless, I am liking what I see so far. (External) CEDET always 
seemed like this big monster that was complicated to set up and use, but 
with a tight native integration with Emacs things like Semantic are set 
out to be a killer feature.

Maybe we should better integrate and polish certain features one at a 
time. Semantic seems like a great first choice to me. Semantic-based 
completion and code browsing out of the box. I still have not been able 
to integrate ctags/etags/xyztags satisfactorily and there is always so 
much fiddling involved with tags tables etc. And it's hard to argue that 
IntelliSense is one area where VS and Co. have a competitive advantage 
over Emacs. It just works out of the box.

Is anybody actively working on integrating CEDET better with Emacs right 
now? Or do we just merge the snapshots into the trunk?

Now, going through the manual and playing with it I found quite a few 
inconsistencies/bugs. Where is the right place to report those? The GNU 
bug tracker or the Sourceforge tracker?
