FTP Plugin: usernames containing '@' symbol?
Submitted by painted on Thursday, 5 June, 2008 - 18:21
Hello,

I love jEdit and especially the FTP plugin, it makes my work much easier.

My question is, I have several FTP accounts with the username having a format like:

paul@whatever.com

But when I enter it in the Open from FTP Site dialog, it parses it into something like:

paul@whatever.com@webhost.com

and it fails. Can anyone suggest a way to make this work?

Thanks
OpenIt Plugin Work-Around: Eliminate Indexing Upon First Run
Submitted by hurricanedavid on Wednesday, 4 June, 2008 - 20:59
I used to use the OpenIt plugin all the time. However, at some point, it started to do it's indexing not when jEdit started, but when the OpenIt command was first invoked. This made opening that first file take a few minutes if you had lots to index. So I quit using it.

However, my friend Newton found the solution.

To make it index automatically upon startup -- so that the first time you run it you don't have to wait -- put a BSH file in your jEdit startup directory with the following line in it...

org.etheridge.openit.SourcePathManager.getInstance();

(I named mine "openItStart.bsh")

Link to the Plugin info...
http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?OpenIt

This plug-in is at version 1.5 now. And it is currently working on my machine in jEdit v 4.3pre9.
Having trouble creating some macros
Submitted by AzizLight on Monday, 2 June, 2008 - 13:11
Hi everybody, During the last two month all I have done is test programmers' text editor. I'v tested Emacs, Smultron, Eclipse/PDT, Textmate, Notepad++ and of course jEdit. And everytime, I was going back to jEdit, even after using Textmate. However there are some thing in jEdit that are missing and that I have tried to do with macros and wasn't able (because I'm a newbie and I'm not good at creating macros :S) : 1. When I open ... well anything ( "{", "[", "(", "'", """, "<") I want the closing part to appear automatically. That's the easy part and I kind of managed to do it. However, the part I did not managed to do is: if i'm just before a closing one ( "]", ">", etc) and I close it again, then it goes out of it instead of creating a new one. 2. If I have a block that is between curly brackets for exemple, if I double-click just outsite the closing bracket, I want it to select the block that is inside the brackets. There are more macros that are very important and useful but I can't remeber what they are, I will update this post as soon as I remeber.. In a more general way, what I can't manage to do is create macros that make more than one thing (with conditions for exemple)... Voila. Can someone give me instructions, advice or even hints on how to achieve that please? Thanks in advance, Aziz Light
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver not found
Submitted by Cheo on Monday, 2 June, 2008 - 10:40
Hi all

I've got a Netbeans web project working perfectly in my Debian box. I'm using the MVC pattern and would like to give jEdit a go for unit testing my Model.

I'm using a MySQL server, but cannot make my Model work because the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver is not found during run time. It compiles fine.

In my Project Viewer plugin, I right-clicked in my project->Properties->SQL Server Configuration and added my MySQL server.
I'm using the SQL pluggin and have set up the Driver's classpath by doing Plugins->Plugin Options->SQL->JDBS and adding the file mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar. I can run queries in the SQL plugin with no problem and see the results in the SQL Result Set.
I have even added the mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar file manually into ~/.jedit/jars as well.

So, I don't really know what is the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Sergio

How do I remove period (or dot) at every line?
Submitted by Ethien on Saturday, 17 May, 2008 - 10:40
How do I remove period (or dot) at every line?

jEdit is a good program that I would like to use in my future projects except for one feature that really bothers me a great deal. That is period or dot shown at every line. I could not find a way to disable that. I have checked every option there is. I am pretty sure I am missing an option somewhere to turn that off.

I would like very much to continue using the jEdit without having to see period/dot at end of line.

Thanks in advance!

Multiple Buffer lists
Submitted by imgod2u on Thursday, 15 May, 2008 - 18:39
I find myself working on multiple projects at once and I'd ideally like to be able to separate the buffer list into different projects (in different windows). For instance, one window will have a buffer list containing all of the files I've opened in that window (that belong to project A of course) and the other window will have a separate buffer list that contain files opened in that window that belong to project B.

Is such a thing possible? Is there a plugin for this?
How to open more unsaved buffers?

How to open more unsaved buffers? When only one unsaved unchanged buffer (Untitled-1) is open (no more open files), then using File/New or Ctrl+n action opens no buffer.

Thnx in advance

My header files are always treated as Objective-C code... :-(
Submitted by ernest on Thursday, 8 May, 2008 - 22:19
How do I get jEdit to treat my headers as C++ code rather than Objective-C code? I know I can go into the buffer properties and change it, but is there some way I can make this a permanent (or project wide) association?

Thanks,

Multiple docked plugins in same area
Submitted by ernest on Monday, 5 May, 2008 - 15:51
Is there a way to dock more than one plugin in an area (such as at the bottom of the screen) and have them all be active? To be more specific, I'd like to be able to have the Console and the Task List displaying at the same time in the bottom dock region. is this possible? If not, is it planned for a future release?

Thanks,

Ernest

Mixed Mode Highlighting
Submitted by WarrickF on Thursday, 1 May, 2008 - 17:55
Hi All,

Is it possible to somehow have mixed mode highlighting.

We've added a custom mode for our own language, but when JavaScript it mixed into the page it does not get highlighted correctly.

What's the best way to approach this ?

Thanks

Template Accelerators - Keywords beginning with @ and other special chars
Submitted by WarrickF on Thursday, 1 May, 2008 - 13:39
Hi all, I'm having a problem setting up Keywords in Accelerator that begin with "@" and other special chars like "<". If I setup an accelerator called Test - all is good, if I name my accelerator @Test it does not work. The help says .... The plugin searches for the keyword from the current caret position in the textarea backwards to first whitespace character. However is seem like it only searches backward for char 1..9,a..z,A..Z Is this a bug or is there some workaround like escaping the char somehow (which I've tried)? Thanks Warrick
Position Cursor after Template Execution
Submitted by WarrickF on Wednesday, 30 April, 2008 - 17:08
Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to position my cursor after I execute a Template using the Templates plugin.

The Clipper plugin allows you to place a "|" (pipe) where you'd like to position the cursor, but I can't seem to find a way to do the same thing using the Templates plugin.

Thanks

Running Java from within jEdit
Submitted by Alan-LB on Saturday, 19 April, 2008 - 06:36
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread.

Is there any way of compiling and running a program from within jEdit - ie shelling out to run "javac" and "java". I am using jEdit 4.3 with Windows XP Pro and JDK 6 update 5.

I have tried downloading the "console" plugin but it will not install - it comes up with an error message and suggests getting a later version of the plugin

Everything else works fine.

Waiting for buffer.save to finish
Submitted by ntbenari on Friday, 18 April, 2008 - 08:14
I have some commandos that start with
buffer.save(view,null,true);
after which I build a command to run.
Sometimes the save completes before the command
is run and sometimes it doesn't.
Writing
waitForConsole(view)
does seem to help.

Thanks for any help
