Mac OSX command line integration

Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 25 April, 2004 - 04:38

How to launch jEdit from the OSX command line? Is there a better way than executing /Applications/JEdit\ 4.2pre11/JEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub ? I have the following function in my .bash_profile, but it doesn't pick up the path to any file I pass to it, e.g. if I type 'jedit .bash_profile' from my home directory, jEdit will try to create a new file in /Applications/JEdit 4.2pre11/. There must be a way to get this to work? I searched here and via google and was unable to find anything on the subject. Thanks for any help, and apologies for my poor bash skillz.

Here's the bash function:

jedit () { /Applications/JEdit\ 4.2pre11/JEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub -background "$@" ; }

Using OSX 10.3.3, jEdit 4.2pre11.

jedit shell script

When I installed jEdit using the Mac OS X package, it put a shell script named jedit in ~/bin

This is the content of the file:

#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home"
if [ "$JAVA_HOME" = "" ]; then
JAVA_HOME="$DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME"
fi
exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/Applications/jEdit/jEdit.app/Contents/Resourc
es/Java/jedit.jar" $@

I used the Java-based installer version 4.2pre11 to make the command line work. Now I can type jedit in the command line to lunch it. I also added these 2 lines to .bash_profile
EDITOR='/usr/local/bin/jedit' and CVSEDITOR='/usr/local/bin/jedit'. Now when I invoke the editor from clisp, for example, it automatically opens jedit.

One thing, I kept getting an error with the Mac OSX plugging when jedit started so I removed it. Now all the menu item are part of the jedit screen and not in the menu bar like regular Mac apps.

open -a

"open -a jEdit /path/file" once did this for me. Now on 10.3.3 with jEdit 4.2pre9 it seems to be broken, but maybe it works for you.
Try to google for "OSX terminal tutorial" and/or take a look at www.macosxhints.com

have fun, cu andreas
