Motivation

For certain working areas (Java, XML, Tex) jEdit provides a wide variety of plugins. Here we want to obtain an impression which plugins people use for certain working areas. This puts us in the position to setup predefined plugin sets, which provide all the plugins one needs most for a certain working area.

At this place I would like to introduce a rating system. Not everybody thinks plugin x is useful of the same degree! Can we do this with Wiki?

All-purpose plugins

Here go all the plugins useful for more than one edit mode.

ToDo:

• please fill in, which plugins you are using for which edit mode
• vote for ?-marked
• add all-purpose plugins
• add more working areas
• try to maintain good layout

Edit mode specific plugins

• Java with ant :
  • Antelope Plugin **
  • Ant Farm ***

• Java beautification :
  • Java Style *** is feature rich and seems to work well. The properties are well-commented.
  • AStyle Plugin * leaves undesirable artifacts in Java code (a space between return and the semicolon for void methods). It may work better for C/C++.
  • Jalopy Plugin - version 0.3.1 didn't work with JEdit 4.1 final. There is a problem with getting the plugin instance that causes a null pointer exception when you beautify the code.

• Tex :
  • Latex Tools ***

• ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) :
  • Ftp Plugin ***
  • Xml Plugin ***
  • Sql Plugin ***
  • Buffer Tabs **
  • Character Map **
  • Editor Scheme **
  • Task List **

Buffer selection plugins

Please participate on Buffer Switching: it tries to influenece development of buffer switching plugins, thus instead of many little plugins we need few flexible and feature-rich plugins.
