Javascript plugin - parsing javascript & displaying errors - broken on windows!
Submitted by greyhound4334 on Monday, 22 January, 2007 - 20:48
Hi All,

I'm at wits end, and hope someone can help.

I've moved my development environment from Linux to Windows, and one of the most important Jedit features I rely on is the javascript plugin. In particular, its ability to parse javascript and display errors is a lifesaver. This feature saves me tons of time vs. trying to find a typo or some dumb syntax error at runtime.

Problem is, no matter what I try, I can't seem to get this feature running on Windows. I've tried with 4.2 and 4.3, and I've tried to completely duplicate the setup and configuration on windows that I'm using under Linux. Even tried copying the whole jars directory from my user settings directory from my linux box to Windows.

In all cases, the error list window shows no errors when parsing javascript, and the UI doesn't display the helpful little "error bars" in the source code window.

I got all this running on Linux quite some time ago, so I can't really remember whether/what I did with Rhino to get this running. Unfortunately, the Rhino docs are rather sparse, and I could find very little searching this site or the javascript plugin site or the rhino site to set me straight.

I have downloaded and placed rhino's js.jar file in both my user and system settings directories, again to no avail (even though I don't seem to have one anywhere on my linux box).

Any help/advice or guesses gratefully accepted!

John
