Jedit 4.2 on Debian

Submitted by JLuca on Wednesday, 13 October, 2004 - 07:59

Hi all,
I am an enthusiastic jedit user, I use since a long time the version 4.1 on a Debian Sid. If I am not wrong I downloaded it as a .deb, and I had several problems with it (I must use the blackdawn jre to run it, apt-getted as well...). With the 4.2 I've big problems: it works just if I launch it as root, and this is not so pleasant... Please, let me know if I can fix it in some way (it's maybe obvious, but I don't have time to look for the solution of the problem...).
Btw, jedit is great, and I would like to go on in using it, instead than to pass at Eclipse...
Give me some advice Smiling

Regards,
L.

I use Jedit 4.2 on Debian/Testing and it works just fine. I did:

Donwloaded and installed with dpkg -i jedit_4.2.0-1_all.deb
Set up rights
cd /usr/share/jedit
adduser myself users
chown -R :users /usr/share/jedit/ # jedit is possesed by the group users
chmod -R g+r /usr/share/jedit/ # give the group the right to read files
find /usr/share/jedit/ -type d | xargs chmod -v g+x # give the group the right to list the content of directories
As root I downloaded the plugins I wanted to be available to all (I only needed to set my proxy info)

I use the sun's "Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)" included in Java SDK.

You can try the non-debian version of jEdit too.
