I downloaded jEdit and I did not do any adjustments, I went directly to the plugins and tried to install them but this came:

Plugin Error:
Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror

What does it mean and is there a fix for it?

I have a Console (System) window on Windows 7. From there, I can easily open a Windows command shell by typing "cmd". However if I invoke a Cygwin zsh or bash, this hangs forever.

I invoked them like this:

zsh -i
bash --login

The same happens, if I first create a cmd shell from jEdit console, and from *this* invoke zsh or bash.

Doing the same from a "normal" Windows CMD console works well. I wonder what special environment the jEdit console creates, so that the Cygwin shells don't work.

It says on loading that it can't find the class REException, and suggest I should upgrade to a newer version.

I have installed the most recent version of the plugin, though.

On Windows 7:

I opened a new console using the menu item Plugins/Console/Shells/console.shell.system-show

In the resulting console Window, my PATH is set differently to what I have set using the Windows Control Center.

Now I wonder how jEdit sets up the PATH for the Console application. I checked the Console plugin user's guide, but couldn't find this topic being explained.

hi all,

i just installed jedit using jedit4.5pre1install.jar

when i run 'update mirror list' in the plugin manager i get lots of erros stating with - see below.
(i had the same problem with jedit 4.2)

Calling up Help (F1) does not open a help window.

The activity log does not show any error. Actually, it does not show any activity whatsoever, except a periodic entry saying

10:27:35 [AWT-EventQueue-0] [debug] EditBus: DynamicMenuChanged[menu=recent-files,source=null]

The problem occurs independent on whether I try to call up the help using the F1 key, or via the Help menu.

Any ideas why this doesn't work?

(jEdit 4.5 running on Windows 7)

Copy & Paste (using Control-C and Control-V) does not work from and to Quicknotepad. Control-C also doesn't work on text selected at the "Tips of the Day". However, it works fine between edit pane.

Is this a bug, or is this feature deliberately not implemented?

I've installed jEdit on my new Windows 7 computer, and cannot upgrade plugins or install new ones.

After attempting to upgrade Template, I got the message "The plugin C:\Users\John M Gamble\.jedit\jars\Templates.jar could not be removed", followed by "Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror".

New plugins went through the download process (successfully), but then reported "Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror" for each one. Changing the plugin installation directory in Global Options from "jEdit settings directory" to "jEdit application directory" had no effect.

I tried this with jEdit version 4.3.3 and 4.4.2 as well, with the same results. I installed the latest version of Java (jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe), with no change.

So this problem appears to be Windows related, but I can't seem to find anything that would cause this. Which is annoying, as I really need to use the GitPlugin. Any ideas?

Environment:
Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop 64 bit. Jedit was installed from the repository.

Error encountered:
(at the command line) "jedit" under logged in user returns:
exec: 10: /usr/local/java/latest/bin/java: not found
however, "sudo jedit" opens the jedit editor as expected. No error returned.

Java:
Some meddling with custom Java installations was performed and probably the cause of the problem. Details will be disclosed when it is pertinent information.
"which java" returns:
/usr/bin/java
"java -version" returns
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.4) (6b22-1.10.4-0ubuntu1~11.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

contents of /usr/bin/jedit.sh:
#!/bin/sh

#
. /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh
find_java_runtime java6
find_jars /usr/share/jedit/jedit.jar
run_java org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit "$@"

java-wrappers.sh called which calls /usr/lib/java-wrappers/jvm-list.sh

I'm unclear how jedit is determining "/usr/local/java/latest/bin/java" to be the location where java is supposed to be existing. The script that did some butchering to my Ubuntu installation is located here:
https://github.com/talltroym/Railo-Ubuntu-Installer-Script/blob/master/setup-railo.sh
Under the section # Download and Install Java there was some undesirable changes made that I tried to revert from. I deleted /usr/local/java, removed "JAVA_HOME" & "JRE_HOME" from /etc/environment, and deleted the symbolic link "/usr/local/bin/java" in attempts to recover from changes. I'm also boggled why "sudo jedit" runs while "jedit" returns the error.

Hi, I've looked a while, but not finding out how to edit large files under windows 7. This one might be tricky, but I also do not have admin rights on the machine (corporate environment).

I think the issue is is how can I pass parms to the java machine, when in windows there's a executable (jedit.exe) that must do the work of calling java. I tried the "-mx256m" parm to jedit.exe, but it doesn't seem to be accepted.

I've also tried to run the start up parm by borrowing my sys admin's id and pswd and editing the entry in the registry for startups to the following key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

key: "jEdit Server" value: "C:\Program Files x(86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -xms64, -xmx256m -jar "c:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -background -nogui --i4j- dont-wait

(oh and yes, using the admin id, I updated "ij4.ini" in the jedit subdirectory to have the value "-mx264m". Nothing seems to work on editing a 300 meg file in Win7).

Thanks.

I was using jedit yesterday with no problems. This morning it won't start. I click on the icon or select the program from the list and nothing happens. It's as if I never clicked on it in the first place. Everything else on the computer seems fine.
All I have done between these two times that might be connected is log on to a wireless network for the first time ever. Any help appreciated....

Hi,

I have got this problem with Jedit 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5pre1.

Anyone has an idea what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

I lost my search dialog in the last few days. If I reveal all running apps using expose, I see it alongside jEdit, in a blue window, but there's no way to access it. Apple did update java within the last two weeks and I'm wondering if that's the problem. From my research, there is no way to downgrade java on an OS X box, so I can't test my theory. I tried the idea from several years ago about F to select the search window, followed by a spacebar to tell the window to move and a down enter.... didn't help Any ideas?

Hello,
I installed Context Help plugin and now I am trying how it works. I open some PHP file, select some function (e.g. str_replace), click Plugins > Context Help > Search Keyword. But nothing hapens.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Hello,
when I run command
> HH C:\\php_manual_en.chm::/res/function.str-replace.html
in Windows console, it really runs "C:\\php_manual_en.chm::/res/function.str-replace.html".

But if I run the same command via exec() in BSH file, it runs this:
> res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm#mk:@MSITStore:C:\php_manual_en.chm::/res/function.str_replace.html

Because of that, PHP manual runs and shows error 404.
Thank you for answers.

Hi everyone.

I'm completely new to jedit, ruby and programming in general.
Was trying to execute a simple bit of code in jedit:

puts 'Hallo'
puts "Hello there, and what\'s your name?"
name = gets.chomp
puts 'Your name is ' + name + '? What a lovely name!'
puts 'Pleased to meet you, ' + name + '. :)'

When I run it, it gives a blank prompt without printing the initial "Hallo" and 2nd line puts. If I execute it in Komodo I get the same problem.

If I run it in terminal, however, it works fine.

I have the ruby console plug-in.

Also - I cannot figure out how to get the console to use ruby 1.9.2 instead of 1.8.7. I did manage to upgrade terminal ruby version.

I would greatly appreciate any help! Please remember that I'm not so savvy, you know, if you could limit yourself to simpleton-speak, I'd be much obliged.

I was recently given a new laptop with OS X Lion 10.7 installed for my job.

I have been using jEdit, daily, on various platforms since 2002.

Several times a day (but not always), when I go to save a file, jEdit freezes up and has to be "Force Quit." This only happens on my Lion install. It does not happen on my other Mac which uses Snow Leopard 10.6.

This problem happens on jEdit 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and 4.5pre1.

I tried out Eclipse and it froze up on me, once, on a save. I did not get it to do it again.

There are no errors in the logs, that I can see. jEdit does not use extra resources or hike up the load on the CPU, it just freezes and does not return, even after several minutes.

It seems more than a coincidence that I was able to get the freeze to happen on Eclipse, which is a completely different code base. Eclipse and jEdit both use Java.

Java is different under OS X Lion when compared to Snow Leopard, but I do not recall the exact details.

Is there anything I can provide to help figure this out?

The encoding is Unicode or UTF8 and the table displays a 256-character page of the encoding, but the page cannot be changed using the unicode blocks control, why?

(jEdit 4.4.1 server mode, Java 1.6.0_26)

Switching to jEdit 4.4.1 on Windows 7; so far I'm enjoying jEdit, but are are some minor annoyances:

* using command line to open a file in jEdit will not switch the keyboard focus to jEdit.

Here's a workaround: front.py

#   bring named window to front
import re
import sys
import win32gui

def winEnumHandler(hwnd, match):
    if win32gui.IsWindowVisible(hwnd):
        if match(win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd)):
            print "found"
            win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(hwnd)
            win32gui.SetFocus(hwnd)

def front(pattern):
    match = re.compile(pattern).match
    win32gui.EnumWindows(winEnumHandler, match)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    front(sys.argv[1])

and j.cmd:

start C:\PROGRA~1\jEdit\jedit.EXE %*
front "jEdit.*"

This helps but doesn't seem to work every time. Probably needs an event flush somewhere.

Another nit:

* jEdit uses alt+ keys (arrow, pgup/pgdown/home/end, etc). I like to use the keypad (w/numlock off) for these keys, but with alt+keypad, Windows insists on adding a Unicode character, even with numlock off.

I've done some googling but haven't found a workaround for this yet. Might have to add alternate mappings for the relevant shortcuts.

Whey I try to paste some Japanese chars from http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f99692952 (e.g. 落札者はログインしてくださ) to a buffer with either UTF-8 or EUC-JP encodings I see rectangles instead of those chars.

How to fix that?

Works as expected in gedit, NetBeans and Komodo by the way.

Alexander
