I don't know! But isn't JDE just a generic acronym for *any* Java  
Development Environment? The different modes in GNU Emacs support for  
example programming languages by high-lighting particular key words  
or indenting blocks of code. Another means is that you can insert  
from a menu particular key words or get special menus.

Could be that auto-mode-alist has no mapping provided for your Java  
files:

(setq auto-mode-alist
  (append
    '(("\\.java\\'" . java-mode)
   auto-mode-alist)))

C-h v reveals a variable's value.

Either C-h v emacs-version RET and then copy from the *Help* buffer,  
or M-x emacs-version RET and then change to *Messages* buffer.

One doesn't expect governments to obey the law because of some higher  
moral development.  One expects them to obey the law because they  
know that if they don't, those who aren't shot will be hanged.
