Strange mouse cursor
Submitted by JonBlanchard on Friday, 23 April, 2010 - 02:49
In the middle of editing a tcl file, the mouse cursor becomes an east-west arrowhead whenever I move the mouse cursor away from the editing area. This includes the menu bar, all menus, the buffer drop-down and the scroll bars. If I open a dialog such as the Global Options menu item, the mouse cursor is normal while the dialog is open. Once I close the dialog, the cursor goes back to the east-west arrowhead outside of the text area, but inside the jEdit app window.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
XInsert plugin does not load (my) user xinsert file
Submitted by mabra on Friday, 2 April, 2010 - 17:30
Hi All !

I have just upgraded to jEdit 4.3[.1], I installed from scratch and setup all required plugins.

XInsert no longer works for me! None of my xinsert files are loaded!
I tried all, I can think about:
- use the \Program files\XInsert dir
- use \user\.jedit\XInsert dir
- specify a custom dir [in plugin options]
- install the plugin manually

All my includes works well in jEdit 4.2.
I depend completely on XInclude and just cannot continue.

Any help would be really great! I do not know, what's wrong and
if this is a bug.

Best regards,
mabra
+line command line attribute does not work with spaces on the filepath ?
Submitted by PlayeFox on Saturday, 27 March, 2010 - 19:29
So, I'm trying to load jedit from the command line and redirect the cursor to a line number.
I copy my test text file readme.txt to the HD root, and do from the jEdit folder:

jedit "c:\readme.txt" +line:2

Works like a charm, cursor is right there on second line. Then I create a directory named "a a" at the root, move the readme, and do:

jedit "c:\a a\readme.txt" +line:4

Nope, still on line 2. Tried fidling with the batch file with no luck.
Any ideas ?
"Open with jEdit" does not work with Win7 (x64)
Submitted by Hans_Bauer on Friday, 26 March, 2010 - 08:27
Opening a file via the context-menu of the explorer does not work anymore under Win7 (x64), although the associated entry in the registration for the context-menu:
HKCR\*\shell\Open with jEdit\Command
with the content
"C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe" -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview "%1"
uses correct paths.

Amazing workaround:
Create the file "C:\Temp\JEditStart.bat" with the line
"C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview %1
And create a registration key
HKCR\*\shell\Open via JEditStart\Command
with the content
"C:\Temp\JEditStart.bat" "%1"
This will do the job.

My first suspicion was, that the tcp/ip-traffic between the jEdit-client and the server could be causal and be blocked by the windows-firewall. So i allowed "C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe" for internal and external traffic, but nothing changed.

Any ideas to fix/enable the original context-menu-item "Open with jEdit"?

Thank you!
Hans
Can you edit the list of open files jEdit tries to restore on start-up?
Submitted by Julian Treadwell on Monday, 22 March, 2010 - 02:25
Hi,

A long-time jEdit user but first-time poster here.

I tried to use jEdit to open a large data file which caused it to hang. jEdit now hangs every time I use the standard start-up batch file (start "jEdit startup" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe" -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview %*) unless I append '-nosettings -norestore'. Just appending '-nosettings' or '-norestore' doesn't fix the problem.

I need to remove this filename from the files jEdit will try and open - anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Julian
Opening file: reuseview problem
Submitted by lilive on Friday, 19 March, 2010 - 15:30
Hi,

Since a few days, I can't re-use jEdit view to open a file. My OS is Windows XP.

this command...

start "jEdit startup" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe" -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview a-file.txt

...always launch a new jEdit instance.

I did the same thing during many months without problems. I haven't updated my jEdit installation, nor my JRE.

Can anyone help please?
Mac OS X - Shortcuts
Submitted by gerhard.tinned on Tuesday, 2 March, 2010 - 11:57
I am using jEdit now for a couple of years. I started using it on Windows and now i moved over to MacOS X.

I used it with Mac OS X 10.5 and now 10.6. But since i am moved from Windows to Mac i observed a very interesting behaviour with the keyboard shortcuts for Copy and Paste.

In the Text Area (i hope my naming for all the components are correct) the Copy and Paste shortcuts are Cmd+C and Cmd+V ... which is exactly as it is used in all Mac-Applications. But all the poup-windows (like Search and Replace, Global Options, ...) The text fields do not react on this shortcuts. They use the shortcut i remember from the Windows version ... Ctrl+C and Crtl+V.

In my opinion this looks a bit confusing for me as i do not leave the Application but the shortcut is different on every window. Sad
Is there any way to change this somehow inconsistent shortcuts?

Thanks.
ctagssidekick with VHDL files
Submitted by timxdunn on Thursday, 18 February, 2010 - 20:12
Hello,

I am new to the forum and I have a problem with the ctagssidekick plugin. I am trying to use it with VHDL files but after parsing all it finds are the entity name and any constants that I may have defined.
Has anyone got any experience of how to set up the ctagssidekick to work with VHDL?
Project viewer plugin causes Jedit to freeze
Submitted by ricardino on Wednesday, 17 February, 2010 - 13:28
Im having trouble using the project viewer plugin. I can get it installed OK, but whenever i attempt to to anything with it (add new files, create new group etc) Jedit just freezes completely. The only way to get things going again is to end the Javaw.exe process and start again. When i attempt to remove the project viewer plugin, the same thing happens.

Im using windows xp pro 32 bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
saving remote files via ftp crashes internet connection
Submitted by 1234ru on Monday, 15 February, 2010 - 22:54
saving remote files via ftp crashes internet connection

Hi!
I have very unexpected problem with JEdit 4.3 and FTP-plugin 0.9.7 (Java 1.6.0_18, Windows XP Service Pack 3)
I can view directories and open files via FTP protocol but when I try to save changes my internet connection crashes (I reproduced it in 100% of cases; It is even more strange assuming I connect via router not directly via VPN or PPP).
It happens with any server I tried and any time.

Other ftp clients connect and modify files normally.

Saving via SFTP protocol also goes normally.

P.S. I have older JEdit on another machine and older FTP plugin (can't remember exact version now). They work with no such errors. So I'm really surprised...

global variables values in XInsert plugin are blank
Submitted by d_l on Thursday, 28 January, 2010 - 13:50
I have jEdit 4.3 Java 1.6.0_17.

In the XInsert script I am trying to refer to global variables set in fields in
Options: Plugins: Xinsert

It seems that the value of the 1st global variable is lost (blank) after I enter variable name and value pair, press Apply, press O.K. and then inspect XInsert Options window again. The variable name is always retained but not the value. It is not seen by an xinsert.xml script. I have tried with and without quotations around the value.

I do ensure that I reload XInsert after each edit of the test.insert.xml file placed in /.jedit/xinsert/

I have tried closing down jEdit and restarting but still the global var value is lost.

Also in /.jedit/xinsert/ is the variables file (global variables but blank).

What takes precedence .. the global var settings in the Options pane or the variables file?

This does look like a bug but I'm not sure.
in Mac Snow Leopard, file not loaded into jEdit
Submitted by dushanm on Wednesday, 13 January, 2010 - 02:52
I've been using jEdit 4.3pre14 under Tiger, and it has worked fine. Very recently
I moved to Snow Leopard X.6.2, which uses Java 1.6.0_17, and installed jEdit 4.3.
It works fine except for one thing: when I 2-click on a text file (to which I've
associated jEdit.app) from any file manager - Finder, Path Finder or muCommander -
jEdit comes up, but with no file loaded. I then have to Open the desired file
separately.

Is there some setting in Preferences, or maybe in Java, that I need to configure?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Error message: Cannot run 'global'. ...
Submitted by groofke on Tuesday, 12 January, 2010 - 13:46
Hi,

I'm new at jEdit and i even just installed this program today. I took all the plugins, but i'm getting this error message: "Cannot run 'global'. Please set the path to 'global' in the plugin options."
I've looked at the plugin options at the menu globalplugin. There i see on the top line: "'global' path and a text box, with global in it. I guess that's what the error-message means, but what am i doing wrong? Or is it somewhere else i have to look?

Greets,

Groofke
jythonInterpreter problems

Hello, I love Jedit and want to start developing some macros in Python, but Im getting some errors.
When I try to open the jython interpreter, It just says loading... and never opens.
I'm guessing this is also related to the error messages I get when attemting to run any Python Macros

Jython Error:

How to use automatic configuration script with jedit
Submitted by vivekbhat on Wednesday, 2 December, 2009 - 08:21
Hi,

I use jEdit in office where we connect to the internet using proxy. This proxy is set by an automatic proxy configuration url (PAC).

Now I am not sure how run this configuration in jEdit. I know there is "Proxy Servers" settings tab in "Global Options". But there is no place where I can put the automatic proxy configuration url. The downside of this is that I can install or upgrade jEdit or jEdit Plugins here.

Any help will be greatly appreciated... Smiling
Unable to close file
Submitted by kbs on Wednesday, 18 November, 2009 - 18:59
I installed the r.xml mode file and then tested it by opening a file with .R extension. The syntax highlighting worked just fine, so I thought I did the installation correctly, but now I'm unable to close that file, exiting jedit and re-opening doesn't help, the file is still open.

newbie, BeanShell error, emacs emulation, WinXP
Submitted by gap on Monday, 28 September, 2009 - 22:49
I'm trying out jEdit as a possible 21st Century replacement for XEmacs to write python code. By now my fingers are hard-wired with Emacs keybindings, so I installed Brian's Emacs Emulation Package on two different WinXP machines. On one it works just fine. On the other I get a BeanShell error when jEdit starts (text below). I've reinstalled jEdit and the Emacs Package, updated java, and rebooted, but I still get this error. I'm utterly java illiterate, but it does look like it's failing on the very first line of emacs_bindings.bsh, so I suspect some installation problem. My java is:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03)

Please help ?!
