Plugin Wish Lists

File System Browser

Use FileSystemView for the roots and Home directory.
Allow toolbar customization.
Option to send deleted files to the trash (local file system only)
UI clutter: toolbar in one row. (Possibly give "Commands", "Plugins" and "Favorites" an icon.)
UI clutter: remove items in "Commands" that already exist as a button.

XML / Side Kick?

Automatically insert required attrs/elements.
Drag and drop rearranging in structure browser.
Ability to specify additional information to help editing: which elements are block/inline, templates to insert automatically when an element is typed, elements that follow (ie when I finish a "question" tag, start an "answer" tag).
Default to not show window when I select a completion.
Fix bug where specifying an empty tag in the window still inserts an end tag.
Fix window so it's possible to tab between attribute text boxes. (Plus no tab to check boxes, they should just turn on if I type in a text box.)
XSL mode and XML mode use same syntax coloring.
PHP browsing

Java Style

separate action to format code in jEdit coding style (or more generally allow user to create multiple formatting schemes)

Project Viewer

inactive projects - Set projects to 'inactive' and they won't be shown in the drop-down
Add files not under project root
Improve GUI: "Create Project" should be a toolbar button, not an entry in the list (the current style is counter-intuitive) - The "Add/Edit Project" button would then become an Edit button only

Buffer Tabs

Add a popup menu item to delete the current buffer (file) from the file system.
Add a popup menu item to toggle read only mode for the current buffer (file).
Change the color or icon of the tab title based on CVS status (up-to-date, locally modified, new, etc.).

Ant Farm?

Store last run target in XML or property and reuse it after a jEdit restart (when the actions "execute current target" or "run last build" are called).
Remove the "build file" suffix (UI clutter).
Don't collapse the tree when saving a build file.
Implement the input task in the UI.
Update to Ant 1.6.
jEdit 4.3 compatibility.

Task List?

Show tree/list of multiple buffers (not only currently shown), retrieved from: current/chosen directory, current/chosen directory recursively or Project Viewer
