Hi James,

Allowing JDEE users to browse javadoc, the JDK API, and the JDEE User's Guide
from within Emacs sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I could build support
into the JDEE for using w3m for this purpose and include a Windows binary
of w3m in the JDEE distribution (and any other binaries users care
to contribute).

From your experience, what is necessary to configure Emacs to allow
this capability?

Paul
