Re-installing jEdit 4.2 with appropriate plugins
Submitted by on Monday, 29 March, 2010 - 23:34
Hi,
I'm looking to re-install jEdit 4.2 with a working Jython Interpreter and am running into problems. The reason I'd like to do this is because the current Jython Interpreter seems to have problems with jEdit 4.3.1 -- http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/4354.
On an old computer I have jEdit 4.2final which still works with the Jython Interpreter I installed with it a few years ago. When I copy the jEdit 4.2 folder to my new computer, all the plugins are gone. Where can I find the plugin files on my old computer (Mac powerbook, OS 10.4.11)? Spotlight search for "jython" yields nothing.
Alternatively, I still have the jEdit 4.2 DMG installation file and can re-install. But the plugin manager for 4.2 has a very limited list of plugins available for installation, and I'm having trouble installing Jython Interpreter manually. I've downloaded it from the current Plugins page, copied the .jar files into the jars folder, but I get a string of install messages that lead me to install ErrorList and then Sidekick, which, finally, does not seem compatible with my program.
So, does anyone out there know how to run Python macros in jEdit using Jython Interpreter either in jEdit 4.3.1 or 4.2?
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!
