I am new to jEdit but very impressed with it (this as a long-time fan of nedit). However, when I bring up the Print dialog, all options except printer choice and margins are greyed out (orientation, duplexing, page-range, copies, etc). Can anyone help? (jEdit 4.1; JavaVM 1.4.2)

This bug has been sort of fixed in CVS. The problem is in the file MacOSPlugin.java. Unfortunately, the fix does not call the compareStrings function correctly. The new call should look like:

if (MiscUtilities.compareStrings(
    System.getProperty("mrj.version"),mrjversion,false) < 0)

The copy in CVS is missing the third argument.

You will need to get the appropriate revision of the source code and the build tool ant, fix MacOSPlugin.java, compile jEdit, compile the MacOS jar, and then move the MacOS.jar to your jEdit installation.

Works OK for me with jEdit 4.2pre8.

As with the previous post, I am also having problems with the Mac OS X Look and Feel. In my case, the only thing affected is the placement of the menu bar. During startup, I recieve the following error message: "Mac OS Plugin reuires a newer version of Java (MRJ 3.2)." I am running jEdit 4.2pre8, which still works fine (except the placement of the menu bar is now "normal."

OS: Mac OS X (10.3.2) running on PowerBook G4 867MHz w/ 640MB RAM.

I am unsure if this should be posted as a bug, so any comment are welcomed. Thanks for all the hard work!
