Upgrading issues from 21.3 to 23.2 with JDE & XAE

[Jeff Rancier]

I getting a similar error for both of these packages.  I googled but found 
nothing helpful.  Here's the error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument keymapp nil)

  define-key-after(nil [xae-new] ("XAE New" keymap "XAE New" (Book menu-item
