Around here we don't call this a `win'.

And I wouldn't call that a chance either.

If you do C-h N and search for that void-variable, you'll find:

    ** The user-option `browse-url-new-window-p' has been renamed to
    `browse-url-new-window-flag'.

so it's an incompatibility introduced by Emacs-21.1 and JDE bumped into it.
Maybe there's a newer JDE that works around this problem.  Otherwise,
go through jde's .el files and replace all occurrences of
browse-url-new-window-p with browse-url-new-window-flag.
