• BeanShell_Scratch_Pad.bsh - this macro provides a multi-line text area for entering and testing BeanShell scripts.


• Build_CDBB_Database.bsh - this macro from Tom Gutwin automates the building of a CodeAid database file.


• ChangeUIFonts.bsh - based on code written by Dirk Moebius, this macro changes display fonts used by jEdit and most dockable plugins.


• EditBus_Components.bsh - this macro writes a list of EditBus components to the current editing buffer.


• EditBus_Viewer.bsh - adapted from a deprecated plugin, this macro provides a graphical list of components attached to the EditBus.


• FAQ_Composer.bsh - a form dialog that takes data on a FAQ question and answer and emits DocBook 4.1 XML markup for the input. You may not want to write your own FAQ in DocBook, but the script provides a model front-end for preparing repetitive blocks of structured markup.


• Ftp_Buffer.bsh - if you would like to try an alternative to the FTP plugin, this macro by Simone Milani Foglia lets you upload the current buffer using the Savarese NetComponents library.


• Insert_Smart_Quotes.bsh - when associated with a keyboard shortcut, this macro from Luc Saffre inserts the appropriate "smart quote" as you `type`.


• loadJarClasses.bsh - this macro defines a method that loads classes dynamically from a designated archive file. It is suitable for use as part of a startup script.

With the advent of the macro repository at jEdit Community, it is now feasible to reduce the size of the default macro package that will accompany future versions of jEdit, beginning with version 4.0pre2. To keep macros available for users, we will shortly be uploading all of the installation macros to jEdit Community.
