Thanks.  I was contemplating adding parts of /user/share/javadoc to my
htdig.conf.  I have jedit-4.1-46 installed.  Will try it.

Both were installed during a shatgun install binge I did to try get the
packages I needed.  Will check them out further.

No jikes installed.  If gcj doesn't do the trick, i'll try that later...

OK.  Thanks again, very much.  I'm a total java newbie.

Noted. (Seen them both before, but wasn't sure

OK.  Thanks for that, too. 

I'm trying to run "make" (or "gmake") on the Makefile in the linux-
dictionary-tools package, 
http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/LDP/guide/docbook/Linux-Dictionary/linux-dictionary-tools.zip

Admittedly, I'm doing this with only cursory knowledge of how make 
works and no knowledge of java. 

But i'll take this all to SuSE-Programming-E, as you suggest. 
If something simple and relevant to this list comes up, I'll add
it to this thread.
