I am looking for a convenient way to open a Java source in Emacs by pointing to the complete class name. For example, if I see the line: Ellipse e = new Ellipse(); then I will go to top of the file and place the cursor on the line that says import com.sunflower.graphics.Ellipse; then press a key. I want Emacs to then open the file com\sunflower\graphics\Ellipse.java Etags is not necessary to do this. (Of course, the equivalent of a "CLASSPATH" must be separately provided to Emacs, perhaps in the .emacs file.) (Better still, maybe Emacs has already seen the import statement, so I don't have to manually go to the import statement.) Is something like this already available? Why do I want this? Because building etags for a large source tree can be a hassle especially if you need to download updated source files frequently.
