How do the windows file associations get set for jedit? I don't want jedit to open my .dsw files.

Hi,

I'm trying to run jEtid on my Mac however it does not work. I've tried to install Security Update for Javaj 2005-02 but it did not work neither. Haven't anybody experienced the same problem?

I posted this message as a reply to a different subject, and I heard that some people were having problems finding it so here it is:

I have never had a problem with jEdit and Fedora Core 3, any other Java app, or any Linux distro + Java for that matter. And you won't either.

Just unpack the JDK into whatever directory you feel like it.
For this example I am gonna say that I decided to unpack the JDK under /home/java. And no, I did not use the rpm. Just go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/index.jsp (pay a visit to http://www.java.com/en/ to see some cool java stuff) and get the .bin file, chmod to 755, run and unpack. Then copy to wherever place you want. Get the JDK not the JRE. It's bigger, meaner and better (who knows, someday you may want to cook that Java app that will get Microsith out of business --if the mighty Linux does not do that first, of course).

Make sure that your ~/.bash_profile has a line like:
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
and not
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

It wouldn't hurt to add another line like:
JAVA_HOME=/home/java

You should also have a line below like:
export PATH JAVA_HOME
note that there is a space between PATH and JAVA_HOME


save your ~/.bash_profile and create a directory bin under your home directory:
mkdir ~/bin
if it does not exist.
cd into ~/bin and create a soft link:
ln -s /home/java/bin/java java
that points to the bin/java inside your Java directory;
you may need to do:
source ~/.bash_profile
or even log out and log back in for the changes to take place. Anyhow, you should be able to do:
java -version
and see something like:

java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode)

or something similar depending on your JDK version.

now that you have the Java executable at your reach (shell-wise that is), you can run any Java programs.

If you are using Firefox, you may as well allow Firefox to execute applets/java programs; in that case pay at trip to:
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins and do:
ln -s /home/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

Now you should be able to install jEdit. I am gonna assume that jEdit has been installed into /home/myhome/jedit.

Now go back to your ~/bin and create a file called jedit: vi jedit
The file should contain the following 4 lines:

#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
exec "java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/home/myhome/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar" $@

or:

#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/home/myhome/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar" $@

should also work. Anyhow, save the file and make sure that it is executable: chmod 755 jedit
cd back to your home directory: cd ~/ and try: jedit &

and if you have lots of RAM memory, bump up that 32 to 64, 128 or whatever.
If you have had problems in jEdit complaining about the maximum memory allocated to Java, now you'll now how and where to solve that too (I did indeed have a memory shortage problem with extremely huge files).


Now you are done. Enjoy jEdit!!!

Hey,

I'm not having any luck installing or compiling jEdit with FC4 Test 1 (3.90) on amd x86_64. I tried the development and stable versions, but both had the same errors. I also tried installing the packages from JPackage, but I got the same errors.

I'm using:

gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.0 20050405 (Red Hat 4.0.0-0.40)

The list goes on... 8 errors, 40-some warnings. The src rpm from JPackage yielded similiar results.

Any ideas on how to get it working?


Thanks in advance!

Hy
Iam new here and i have right now finished my installation of jEdit.
I have a problem when i start to compile a java file with jCompile:

The following Error popup starts when i start to compile:

+------------------------------------------+
| Java Core Plugin
+------------------------------------------+
| The "Default" service is not available.
| Possibly the plugin providing it has
| unloaded or removed. Switching to Default.
|
+------------------------------------------+

And if i click on OK just the compiler-console runs without any Errormessage,
but the sign of compiling is still turning.

I did load the whole plugins bymyself, as zip's und unzipped all jar
(also "JavaCore.jar" and "JavaParser.jar" from "JavaCore-0.7.1.zip" )
and by the Startup of jEdit is no Error Message.


What does that popup say?
is there a errorlog wich kan say more?

Can anybody help me please?

Up installation and start-up an error message is retunred, "MAC OS Plug-in requires a later version of java (MRJ 99)" What do I need, I tried installing MRJ 2.2.26 but was returned a that the latest version was installed.

[error] BeanShell: You have BeanShell version 2.0b1.1-jedit-1 in your CLASSPATH.
[error] BeanShell: Please remove it from the CLASSPATH since jEdit can only runwith the bundled BeanShell version 2.0b1.1-jedit-1

what i need to do?..

What's the proper way to uninstall JEdit after having installed it using the Java based installer? Is it enough to delete the two directories just created: C:\Program Files\JEdit and C:\Documents and Settings\user\.jedit, or there's also some file inside C:\Windows or other system directories? The fact is that I have no entry for JEdit under "Add/Remove Programs".

Is it possible to install Jedit and JRE on JumpDrive and be able to use the jedit/jump drive on different Window PC's?

I use several PC's and it would be nice to be able to install jedit and its environment once and carry the program with me when i move to a new computer.

I need to use JDK1.3 even though other JDK versions are also installed.

So this is what I tried:

• in build.xml, I added target="1.1" and "source=1.3" to the compile target.
• in build.xml, I commented out the jdk14 and jdk15 properties in the init target

So now everything builds, but running it yields an error:

/home/java/pc.i86.linux/blackdown-j2sdk.1.3.0/bin/java org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit

Even though a window comes up, I can't type anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I need to use JDK1.3 since it supports green threads. Basically, I would like to try running JEdit under the "Stabilizer". See: http://stabilizer.sf.net.

i installed jedit 4.2 and have the launcher from www.mbisping.de/jedit/launcher.html on xp sp1

i have been able to associate various file extensions to open in jedit by default. i also went through the registry and made sure any reference to jedit now refers to the launcher: "c:\program files\jedit 4.2" -reuseview "%L"

this works well when i open one file. when i open a second file, whether by double clicking the icon or using the context menu, i get the errors pasted below. does anyone know how i can fix this?

Is it just unzip the files to the user choosed install directory?

I have recently installed J2SE 5.0 and Jedit.
Everything I compile now compiles, but will not run.

I get this error in the console:

Hi,

I'm installing jEdit on a new Windows machine and I'm having a problem. When I run the java-based installer the jFrame appears but it is empty, just a gray box. I know the components are there because if I click around I can get things to happen. If I use the Windows installer, everything goes fine, but then jEdit runs with the same problem -- a gray box appears with a smaller gray box for the tip of the day.

If I run either jEdit or the installer from the command line no errors are produced.

Here is the relevant version information.

jEdit 4.2 final
JDK 1.4.2_6 or JDK 1.5.0_1 (I've tried both)
Windows XP SP2 fresh install.

Because it is affecting both the installer and jEdit itself, I suspect it is a system problem. I've looked for extra java versions or jar files and nothing seems out of place. Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,
Steve

Greetings,

Rookie question: what is the average size of a plugin? I am asking because I use a slow dialup connection. Is it required much bandwidth to keep my jedit updated?

Thanks you all,
Arnaldo

[warning] jEdit: jedit.jar not in class path!
[warning] jEdit: Assuming jEdit is installed in /home/xxxxx.
[warning] jEdit: Override with jedit.home system property.

I assume I have an environment variable set wrong, could someone please lend a hand and point me in the right direction?

is it possible?

and if possible that the windows open again at startup after closing editor?

Hi ! My JEdit installation have become corrupt somehow and does not allow me for installing any new plugins for example. When do I need to remove in order to uninstall everything gor making a new fresh installation ? When I delete the /home//jedit folder, and the /home//bin/jedit link and install again using the Java installer, everything is just the same as before. All settings, plugins and even buffers are still there. Regards Niklas

Is there any plungins available for compiling and running java programs??

Thanks guys

Was trying to do some tutorials on C++ maybe learn something. Started reading to look for a good freeware text editor (have used textpad in the past for php/htm editing, but don't have a liscense for it here). Stumbled across jedit on a google, so far I like it. Wanted to make it my default editor.

I can associate most anything I want with the jedit.bat file and it works fine. My only real question is, on the first instance of jedit I open up using this method, the DOS window does not go away. Any subsequent openings after the initial jedit launch, the DOS window goes away. And if I close the initial Jedit window, then the DOS window goes away with it. I can close the DOS window at anytime with no ill affects. Its only a minor inconvenience, but I am trying to learn something new and any ideas on how to make that go away would be appreciated

Thanks!

Mike
