JDE on emacs

[wei]

I recently got Java SDK to work on RedHat7.3. But i would like to get it to work in emacs(syntax coloring, indentation, compilation etc). I was able to do that on windows by altering the .emacs file. But the .emacs file on linux looks really different and i don't know how to go about altering it. I also came across something on the web called JDEE (Java Development Environment for emacs), i hope that's not the only solution. Please help.

If you open emacs with a Java file you can go to the options menu and select the first option which is Syntax Highlighting. Near the end of that options menu there is an option to Save Options. There is an option to compile your program in the tools menu.
