Re: [Orgmode] Re: Orgmode + other modes for outlining and studying.

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Seb and Marcelo,

Currently, java isn't on the list of Org-babel supported languages, so  
I don't know if Seb's solution will work out of the box.  Org-babel  
has a facility for adding new language support.  A java addition would  
be great.  Seb, if you have this working could you share your approach?

I agree with Seb that Org-babel is useful in the situation that  
Marcelo describes.  I use it this way myself with python.  Comments  
are distinguished from code very cleanly.  In effect, you end up with  
a literate program.

All the best,
Tom
