ecb for Debian
--------------

-------------------------
Upgrades from 1.70:
ECB has a new feature 'ecb-auto-compatibility-check' which enables a check for
incompatible or renamed ECB-options at ECB startup. These options are then
auto. upgraded to the new type or reset to the default-values of current
ECB-version if no upgrade is possible. All upgraded or reset options are
displayed to the user with their old and new values!
-------------------------

To use ecb you must turn it on with M-x ecb-activate. It does not start
by itself!
Ok, now there is something for automatic activation, read the ecb help.

For help do a M-x ecb-show-help after activation.

For Javasupport it is best to have the jde Package installed.
I only suggest this. If you don't have jde now do an apt-get install jde
if you want to develop in Java.

I add the file follow-mouse.el to the lisp-dir of ecb, a quite useful
thing with ecb. This is the Description of it:

;;; Description:
;;; By default, a window within an Emacs frame must be selected by
;;; typing `C-x o' (other-window) or by clicking [mouse-1] on the mode
;;; line or the buffer itself (mouse-set-point); this corresponds to a
;;; "click to type" window manager policy.  follow-mouse.el implements a
;;; "focus follows mouse" window manager policy, so that a window is
;;; selected when the mouse moves over it.
;;; 
;;; To enable follow-mouse, put this in your ~/.emacs file:
;;;     (turn-on-follow-mouse)
;;; 
;;; follow-mouse can be enabled or disabled interactively with the
;;; `M-x turn-on-follow-mouse', `M-x turn-off-follow-mouse', and
;;; `M-x toggle-follow-mouse' commands.
;;; 
;;; By default, follow-mouse will deselect an active minibuffer window;
;;; to prevent that, just unset the
;;; `follow-mouse-deselect-active-minibuffer' option.
;;; 
;;; By default, follow-mouse also raises the frame whose window is
;;; selected; to disable that, just unset the
;;; `follow-mouse-auto-raise-frame' option.

If you want to use it you must load it with (require 'follow-mouse), i
don't do that for you in the ecb-startup Script! And then you probably
like to turn-on-follow-mouse to the ecb-activate-hook and
turn-off-follow-mouse to the ecb-deactivate-hook, look into ecb
Customization.
