+@section Emacs Development Environment
+@cindex EDE (Emacs Development Environment)
+@cindex Emacs Development Environment
+@cindex Integrated development environment
+
+EDE (@dfn{Emacs Development Environment}) is a package that simplifies
+the task of creating, building, and debugging large programs with
+Emacs.  It provides some of the features of an IDE, or @dfn{Integrated
+Development Environment}, in Emacs.
+
+This section provides a brief description of EDE usage.
+@ifnottex
+For full details, see @ref{Top, EDE,, ede, Emacs Development Environment}.
+@end ifnottex
+@iftex
+For full details on Ede, type @kbd{C-h i} and then select the EDE
+manual.
+@end iftex
+
+  EDE is implemented as a global minor mode (@pxref{Minor Modes}).  To
+enable it, type @kbd{M-x global-ede-mode} or click on the
+@samp{Project Support (EDE)} item in the @samp{Tools} menu.  You can
+also enable EDE each time you start Emacs, by adding the following
+line to your initialization file:
+
+@smallexample
+(global-ede-mode t)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+Activating EDE adds a menu named @samp{Development} to the menu bar.
+Many EDE commands, including the ones described below, can be invoked
+from this menu.
+
+  EDE organizes files into @dfn{projects}, which correspond to
+directory trees.  The @dfn{project root} is the topmost directory of a
+project.  To define a new project, visit a file in the desired project
+root and type @kbd{M-x ede-new}.  This command prompts for a
+@dfn{project type}, which refers to the underlying method that EDE
+will use to manage the project (@pxref{Creating a Project, EDE,, ede,
+Emacs Development Environment}).  The most common project types are
+@samp{Make}, which uses Makefiles, and @samp{Automake}, which uses GNU
+Automake (@pxref{Top, Automake,, automake, Automake}).  In both cases,
+EDE also creates a file named @file{Project.ede}, which stores
+information about the project.
+
+  A project may contain one or more @dfn{targets}.  A target can be an
+object file, executable program, or some other type of file, which is
+``built'' from one or more of the files in the project.
+
+  To add a new @dfn{target} to a project, type @kbd{C-c . t}
+(@code{M-x ede-new-target}).  This command also asks if you wish to
+``add'' the current file to that target, which means that the target
+is to be built from that file.  After you have defined a target, you
+can add more files to it by typing @kbd{C-c . a}
+(@code{ede-add-file}).
+
+  To build a target, type @kbd{C-c . c} (@code{ede-compile-target}).
+To build all the targets in the project, type @kbd{C-c . C}
+(@code{ede-compile-project}).  EDE uses the file types to guess how
+the target should be built.

+@section Semantic
+@cindex Semantic package
+
+Semantic is a package that provides language-aware editing commands
+based on @code{source code parsers}.  This section provides a brief
+description of Semantic;
+@ifnottex
+for full details, see @ref{Top, Semantic,, semantic, Semantic}.
+@end ifnottex
+@iftex
+for full details, type @kbd{C-h i} (@code{info}) and then select the
+Semantic manual.
+@end iftex
+
+  Most of the ``language aware'' features in Emacs, such as font lock
+(@pxref{Font Lock}), rely on ``rules of thumb''@footnote{Regular
+expressions and syntax tables.} that usually give good results but are
+never completely exact.  In contrast, the parsers used by Semantic
+have an exact understanding of programming language syntax.  This
+allows Semantic to provide search, navigation, and completion commands
+that are powerful and precise.
+
+  To begin using Semantic, type @kbd{M-x semantic-mode} or click on
+the menu item named @samp{Source Code Parsers (Semantic)} in the
+@samp{Tools} menu.  This enables Semantic mode, a global minor mode.
+
+   When Semantic mode is enabled, Emacs automatically attempts to
+parses each file you visit.  Currently, Semantic understands C, C++,
+Scheme, Javascript, Java, HTML, and Make.  Within each parsed buffer,
+the following commands are available:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c , j
+@kindex C-c , j
+Prompt for the name of a function defined in the current file, and
+move point there (@code{semantic-complete-jump-local}).
+
+@item C-c , J
+@kindex C-c , J
+Prompt for the name of a function defined in any file Emacs has
+parsed, and move point there (@code{semantic-complete-jump}).
+
+@item C-c , @key{SPC}
+@kindex C-c , @key{SPC}
+Display a list of possible completions for the symbol at point
+(@code{semantic-complete-analyze-inline}).  This also activates a set
+of special keybindings for choosing a completion: @key{RET} accepts
+the current completion, @kbd{M-n} and @kbd{M-p} cycle through possible
+completions, @key{TAB} completes as far as possible and then cycles,
+and @kbd{C-g} or any other key aborts completion.
+
+@item C-c , l
+@kindex C-c , l
+Display a list of the possible completions of the symbol at point, in
+another window (@code{semantic-analyze-possible-completions}).
+@end table
+
+@noindent
+In addition to the above commands, the Semantic package provides a
+variety of other ways to make use of parser information.  For
+instance, you can use it to display a list of completions when Emacs
+is idle.
