Hello All,

Until now, I have been using jEdit mostly with C/C++, perl, java and on occasion, shell scripts.

I have used jEdit for Hardware description languages, but mostly for the syntax highlighting.

I think it would be great to start-up a plugin, specifically for HDLs that does the following:
Code formatting/beautifier
Auto-completions based on files that have been registered as part of a project (E.g. Includes etc)
Hierarchical views of module instantiations, local resources, etc
Linters (for online/dynamic syntax checking)

I have seen a plugin for eclipse that aims to accomplish all these, however, I strongly prefer jEdit and I think jEdit has a good chance of being as good for the purpose of simple editing.

I'm curious to know what others think and how many people would be interested in such a plugin.

Sincerely,

Taha

I have some problems with the NetRexxJe plug-in. I tried to install NetRexxJe through JEdit, but it kept erroring saying that it needed other plugins. I installed all of the needed plugins and then it gave me a confusing error about why it couldn't install NexRexx.

The error was...
The following plugin could not be loaded.
This plugin does not support dynamic loading. You must restart JEdit after removing or installing this plugin.

I've tried the above on the latest and stable versions of JEdit.

Any Advice?
Thanks, Leo.

I'm using the 'Tags' plugin on an XML schema file, and I can't get it to work. Instead of jumping to the correct XML element, it jumps to the first element in the file where the correct element is located. This appears to be a result of its truncating the search string to the first 19 or so characters.

Specifically, I'm running ctags to build a tags file. This seems to be working correctly; for example, one of the elements is:

<xsd:complexType name="EnvironmentType">

The corresponding tag in the 'tags' file is:

EnvironmentType Phonology.xsd /^<xsd:complexType name="EnvironmentType">$/;" r

If in the Plugins | Options dlg box, under 'Tags-->General' I leave the checkbox unchecked for "If tag match is found continue searching subsequent tag index files", putting my cursor on the string "EnvironmentType" somewhere causes jEdit to jump to the first 'complexElement' tag in the file, which is not the correct one.

Now it happened at one point that I had two tags files, which both had entries for this XML schema file. With the check box checked, trying to follow a tag from that string gives me a dlg box that asks which of two (identical) tags I want to jump to. Each one looked something like this:

1. EnvironmentType <long filename>

r

<xsd:complexType na

You'll notice that the third line ("<xsd:complexType na") is truncated to about 20 characters. I think this explains why it's jumping to the first element in the file: it does a search for "<xsd:complexType na", and that leads it to the first 'complexElement' tag .

So why is the search string getting truncated? Does it have to do with the fact that the filename (which contains an sftp address) is so long, and it's overflowing the buffer? McSwell

The ftp plugin has an sftp mode, in which you either enter a password at startup or use a key (but the key entry seems to be broken, see the thread 'sftp plugin : The key format is not a supported'). Occasionally I mistype my password. Rather than give me an error msg, it causes jEdit to hang, and I have to bring up the Windows Task Manager to kill it. (I don't know what happens on other platforms.)

I'm not a Java programmer, so I have no idea how to fix this. Any chance of getting it fixed?

I am newbie here and I have no idea about writing a plugin I read the documents but I dont Understand Can anyone send me a simple plugin example? Or tell me there is another document about Writing a plugin.I really need this HELP ME PLEASE!

Hi, I'm new to plugin development, and I've got a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to. The plugin I'm working on requires several (non-Java) files, and I'm not sure how to include them with my plugin. I'm fairly certain that I need to add something to build.xml...I just don't know what

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Diane

Hi

The JTA plugin is the ONLY features that really miss to jedit : it consists in having multiple connections onto differents servers to execute commands (much more powerfull than the console plugin which is limited to the current station you use)...

so this plugin is not maintained anymore... if someone can try this challenge !

more information here : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1627596&group_id=588&atid=350588

Anyone seen a php beautifier? there is one for java but not PHP....

Hi,

I'm pretty new to writing plugins for jEdit. So please don't flame me.

I want to write a plugin so that I can right click on a file or directory in the file browser and have a command line program run with the path of the selected file/dir passed as an argument. I'd like the output displayed in a popup box (or similar).

The command line programs I want to run in particular are:
svn status
svn log

ie programs where no input is required (except for command line arguments)

Could anyone give me a hint as to how hard this might be? I can code in java, so I don't mind implementing it myself.

Just a few hints to get me going would be enough. Thanks!

I was watching this video and noticed something in textmate. I don't know if thats a macro's or some form of keyword based autocomplete. Is there something in jedit that is simular to this? or would it have to all be done through macro's?

This plugin is almost perfect! I only lack one functionality and that is preview of an entity using the tag/entity completion list.

The idea is that when I type & the list appears and when I highlight an entity in this list a small preview window will appear next to the completion list. This is a great feature when you have and makes it allot easier to know what each entity stands for.

I intend to add a few features to jEdit for C/C++ developers, such as a class hierarchy browser and a static function call tree. These features will be based on ctags and either cscope or GNU global.

I'd like to discuss here the plugin distribution methodology. We already have several plugins using ctags - Jump!, Tags, CodeBrowser, CtagsSideKick. Each of them parses the ctags output on its own and handles the storage of the data by itself. I think it's better to have a common library plugin to handle the interface with ctags - both invocation, parsing and storage. There are several advantages to this other than avoiding duplication of code:
- The data can be shared (when appropriate) between plugins that use ctags, so there is no need to run ctags a couple of times on the same file with the same flags.
- The configuration of ctags (e.g. per-mode configuration) can be done in a single place, the plugins that use it (usually) don't even need to be aware of it.
- It will also be easier to write new plugins using ctags.

While a library plugin for ctags seems reasonable, there's the other problem of what I call "plugin explotion": The list of installed plugins becomes long, with all consequences (including the one that's most annoying for me - the jEdit Plugins menu gets split, e.g A-G,H-Z...).

Do you think all ctags-related plugins should be combined into one? What about new features like those I mentioned above - should they be put into new plugins or inserted into existing plugins?
A good example can be taken from eclipse - which is normally installed with hundreds of plugins. Unlike jEdit, eclipse does not have a 'Plugins' menu. Rather, each plugin inserts itself in the desired places (e.g. toolbar, menu item, options). In contrast with jEdit, eclipse consists almost entirely of plugins. A pure eclipse with no plugins can't do much (if anything at all).

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm using jEdit for 3 or 4 year by now. And usually don't mind at all to lookup the javadoc or the source when I need to know the method name or signature. But yesterday, I decided to give it a try and installed CodeAid/Jane. The only thing that worked out of the box was variable name completion, which I already had and love via a short cut to Complete Word command (great feature! thanks!). After I studied help of both plugins, I wasn't any more enlightened. Would you help? Here are the questions I tried to invent for you, but if you use Jane/CodeAid, please let me know in 3-4 sentences what I have to do for a new project to configure it for CodeAid/Jane. Questions:

* In order to see member and suignature hints for Java API, do I need to tell Jane where this library is located?
* Once I add a library to Jane's list of libraries, does it parse them immediately, or do I have to do some special magic?
* What about project support? Do I have to add/remove from Jane's list of libraries every time I switch to a different project? Any integraton with Project Viewer?
* Is the DotComplete plugin still available? I don't see it from the plugin manager. Would it be helpful/useful with CodeAid/Jane?

I'll appreciate help, but can offer to extend the doco for these plugins with the info you share with me.

After being much inspired by Sune Simonsen's wonderful SuperAbbrevs, i decided i would try my hand at coding my take on the "Snippets" concept which seems to have become so popular (and expensive... trendy... dangerous? ;-P ) recently in light of the public's adoration for textmate and all things supernaturally shiny.

https://webspace.utexas.edu/kem642/www/Snippets_SRC.zip

i'm posting the code here in hopes that if i completely run out of time it will at least be available for posterity, BUT MORE OPTIMISTICALLY on the chance that one of you might take a brief look at it and point out where i might be going wrong api-wise, or where i've taken the decidedly more difficult path. For one things, my use of BufferChangeListeners seems to have become deprecated. Updates... the devil take them!

i'll likely hack away as time (and school) permit. I'll keep you all posted here, assuming this is the proper place to do so... (?)


A few noets:
I am working for compatibility with the current development version (4.3pre6), and have funcitoning (read: not well tested, but it "works for me and my limited imagination" (TM) ) solution for recursive snippets (use them inside of each other!) with end tags via a stack of insertions per buffer. the framework is in place to at least parse templates with named variables (i.e. with the same value), default values, and enumerated field values, but those remain broken for the moment in terms of actual functionality. The method of selection is currently a triggered inline popup which does a running filter and auto-insertion of the last match. Defining new snippets based on input not recognized there is planned, but not currently implemented (the method is called, but it doesn't do anything yet).

currently, the snippets are stored like /%userdir%/.jedit/snippets/%mode%/%name of snippet%.snip

there is no snippet editor or viewer in place (options panel) in place quite yet, but that ought to be trivial to pull off (or at least more straightforward).

the archive includes a buildfile i use to build the jar file when i compile. if you've got ANT and a JDK you shouldn't have any problems if you want to give it a whirl.

it ain't clean, but with a little time, it will ready to go soon enough.


thanks in advance for any help, direction, etc.
dont worry... you'll get thanked again, too!

Hi,

I wich to change the background color of a TextArea when the buffer is readonly.
I can't figure out how to do this...
Setting
pView.getTextArea().setBackground(pColor) results in nothing.
pView.getTextArea().getPainter().setBackground(pcolor) paints every open textArea.

How do I change the background of a single TextArea?

Thanks!

Hello Developpers
I have a lite Script who work fine in Jedit 4.2 but not in 4.3pre5 and not in 4.3pre6.
The Console Window open and wait but there are errors in the Command Window and in the BeanShell Window.
Is there any idea what I can change?
Regrads,
Fabio

import console.Console;
{
Buffer b = view.getBuffer();
String strName = b.getName();
String strPath = b.getPath();

String strCmd = new String("java.exe -jar \"C:\\Programme\\Interlis\\ili2c\\ili2c.jar\" --without-warnings \"" + strPath + "\"");
runCommandInConsole(view, "System", strCmd);
}

1) Console Window Errors:

[error] BeanShell: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/gjt/sp/jedit/search/RESea
rchMatcher
...and a lot of more error lines...

2) BeanShell Window Errors:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/gjt/sp/jedit/search/RESearchMatcher
...and a lot of more error lines...

I would like to use ActionHook plugin to save the open buffers upon jEdit loosing focus (i.e. the user switching to a different window).

I'm a novice in using jEdit and I don't know much aboiut Java.

Any suggestion, or better help, would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to connect to a nonstandard port for sftp? There is no port field in the dialog, and it is uncommon with ssh to write host:port (not to mention, it doesn't work in my situation).

Hi,
is there a plugin similar to CodeAid (I suppose) for PHP? The only thing I'm missing in jEdit is some completions (better than these in base jEdit installation) as well as a brief integrated function documentation - when I'm uncertain of some function parameters, it'd be nice to press a shortcut to display that small box with function description known from other IDEs.
Thanks.
