Re: Reading jars in xemacs
Greetings, I have been told to contact you to perhaps help me. I'm running
Xemacs 21.1.13 premade binary in NT. I am trying to open jar files as I do
with emacs, which no such luck. I have done the following:
(push '("\\.jar$" . archive-mode) auto-mode-alist)
and any jar file I open, emacs simply reports the contents to be empty:
M Filemode Length Date Time File
- ---------- -------- ----------- -------- --------
- ---------- -------- ----------- -------- --------
0 0 files
Any help appreciated.

Maybe something is wrong with your XEmacs, or with your archive-mode.
Specifically, a number of things might be going wrong. You might be
using an older archive-mode which doesn't work with Jars. You might
be using a Mule-compiled XEmacs with some bug that garbles the JAR
binary. I don't know anything about archiv-mode, so I unfortunately
don't have a clue about how to debug it.
Perhaps you should contact the author, which appears to be Morten
Welinder (terra(a)diku.dk)? Or, maybe you should try running/porting
the FSF version of archive-mode and see if it works for you?
If it helps, I use XEmacs 21.2 (a pre-release of the
soon-to-be-released 21.4), compiled with Mule. "Works for me."
