Struggling with form validation for JSP and making it work in elegant/lazy fashion with EJB. More on this once I find The Right Solution(tm).

Created a silly new elisp to mimic the HOME button behavior of MSVC++. This means that pressing HOME will first go to the start of text, and if pressed again will go to the real beginning of line: 

;; Emulates MSVC++ behavior of first HOME goes to start 
;; of text, press it again and point goes to start of line.
(defun my-home-key () 
  (interactive)
  (let ((f (current-column)))
    (beginning-of-line)
    (skip-chars-forward " \t")
    (if (= (current-column) f)
	(beginning-of-line))))
(global-set-key [home] 'my-home-key)
