Re: Emacs require project support (like in every IDE).

[Alex Ott]

Hi

The EDE package is a part of CEDET, and you can build corresponding
functionality on top of it. EDE project can provide information about
project-specific things, in addition to information about project root,
etc.

I'm currently working on integration of ant, maven & leiningen into EDE...
Maven project type already supports compilation of the project from any
file inside this project, it automatically obtains classpath info from
Maven, and uses it for name completion -- just grab fresh CEDET from bzr.
Support of Ant & Leiningen will be committed during next 2 weeks, I hope,
I'll find free time to finalize this work
