JProjexx 0.3 and an example plugin available
Submitted by jgellene on Friday, 11 January, 2002 - 18:54
Version 0.3 of the JProjexx framework for project management is now available. The Downloads area has an archive containing jar files for JProjexx and a new beta version of the Sessions plugin that has been refactored to use the framework as a "proof of concept". The archive file also contains detailed javadocs for both JProjexx and Sessions. The next phase of development will cover an extension of the JProjexx class hierarchy specifically to cover Java-based projects and a component that will query the jEdit environment for project-aware plugins.
Plugin Central update: WheelMouse
Submitted by slava on Friday, 4 January, 2002 - 07:28
Back from a too-short holiday vacation, I've just now had a chance to release the latest batch of plugin updates. This is a small one, consisting only of a new version of the WheelMouse plugin for jEdit 3.2.2/JDK 1.4.

* WheelMouse 2.2: updated to no longer beep when scrolling too far up or down; requires jEdit 3.2.2 and JDK 1.4

Happy solstice to all, and Happy New Year to my fellow Gregorian-calendeers.

Version 0.2 of the JProjexx framework for project management is now available. Detailed javadocs can be obtained from the Downloads area, and source code is now available for the first time through the jEdit CVS repository.

JProjexx framework documentation available
Submitted by jgellene on Monday, 17 December, 2001 - 17:44
In an effort to fashion a useful project management framework for jEdit plugins, an initial draft of documentation of the JProjexx framework is being made available in the Downloads section. The documentation currently covers 17 classes and interfaces that lay out the basic building blocks of the framework and provide a few illustrative applications. At present only javadocs are being released as a discussion draft, but source code, executables and definitive documentation will eventually be released under an Open Source license.

New TaskList plugin beta
Submitted by jgellene on Thursday, 29 November, 2001 - 14:35
The plugin currently provides a useful but limited set of features. Please take a look at it and let us know what suggestions you might have for improvements or additional features. What follows are some technical comments on the plugin that have also been posted on the jedit-devel mailing list.

The plugin is designed to present task comments for more than one buffer at a time, but the feature is not available because the code is not completely realized. Are there any thoughts on how this should be done? Here are mine: the sets could be tied to file set classes used by jEdit's Search and Replace routines, so you could have all open buffers, all files in a directory or directory tree satisfying a file mask, or a single buffer.
New beta plugin: Word Completion 0.2
Submitted by jgellene on Tuesday, 13 November, 2001 - 10:43
Please note that it's a bit difficult to describe the behaviour if you are not that used to it. Just install it into your system and try it out (see below).

The plugin is available in source form in jEdit's CVS repository.
A pre-compiled binary can be found at the IQ Computing web site or in the beta plugins download area on the jEdit Community web site.

To install the binary Jar file, just copy it into jEdit's "jars" directory, then restart jEdit.
Modifying plugins for jEdit 4.0
Submitted by jgellene on Monday, 12 November, 2001 - 07:10
  • Under jEdit 3.2.2 and prior versions, the QuickNotepad plugin had a separate class, QuickNotepadDockable, implementing the DockableWindow interface. The class's methods delegated actions to the plugin's top-level visible component, a class derived from JPanel called QuickNotepad. The DockableWindow interface is deprecated in jEdit 4.0, so this class was eliminated. If the top-level component had implemented the DockableWindow interface, it would have been necessary to remove the implements statement and eliminate the getName() and getComponent() methods of that in the plugin class (unless, of course, the plugin itself requires them).
Plugin updates: CharacterMap and Tags

  • HartMathPlugin 0.7.pre17: initial Plugin Central release; Fold() function added; new symbol attributes NHoldAll, NHoldRest, NHoldFirst added in com\hartmath\expression\HSymbol.java; requires jEdit 3.2.1, Console 3.0, EditBus 1.1, ErrorList 1.1, and JDK 1.2


  • InfoViewer 1.0: no longer dependent on EditBus plugin (plugins that used the message org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.ViewURL from the EditBus plugin should now use public static void InfoViewerPlugin.openURL(View,String) directly); the internal (Java/Swing driven) browser is now dockable into jEdit's view (Use this to create a HTML preview pane, when editing HTML files); new options for automatic update of the current page of the internal browser: update on buffer switch, on buffer save, periodically (Use this to watch a stock ticker, or to sync your edit buffer with the preview pane automatically); some other minor enhancements; bugfix: "Edit current URL" didn't work if URL had an anchor; requires jEdit 3.1final and JDK 1.1
