jediut.exe over jedit java
Submitted by DocDJ on Wednesday, 18 July, 2012 - 13:32
I installed the java version of jedit some time ago and had a lot of files in the history list. I recently installed java.exe (Windows) and now, neither of these programs can find my history list. How can I recover it (and I think I would prefer to be able to use it in the java.exe version, to become independent of changes to the java installation.

Java only
by Robert Schwenn on Mon, 23/07/2012 - 16:20
Hi,
first, jEdit is a Java program only - there is no Windows version. Under Windows You can use two version of installers (jar or exe), in either case You get jedit.jar and jedit.exe. The latter is a Windows special for convenient start of the jar, so You don't need a batch or whatever.

Second, I guess You're on Windows 7 and have upgraded from jEdit 4 to 5 and jEdit now uses a different user settings directory. Maybe it's not as bad to let jedit begin from scratch...

jedit.exe vs jedit jar

Robert,
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, the new startup is nice. But I would still like to recover my old history. Can you tell me where it is and how I can move it to the new location? Or is there a way to put it in "my documents", so it is off my C: drive (I have another physical drive for "My Documents".

Live long & Prosper,
DocDJ
