Hi, I'm sure this came up a hundred times before and no doubt mighty Jedit is able to do it easily, so I'm sorry but I couldn't find an answer. I want to put tags around highlighted text using a keyboard shortcut. I tried Macros -> Text -> Insert tag, but using this macro I always have to type the tag name. Kind regards Martin

Hello out there !

After a severe crash i had to put up an new system, and thought that i give 4.3 pre6 a try.
Looking good, goin' good - so far.
What i am missing is the JCompile-Plugin. Nowhere to be found an the Plugin-Managers "Install" Tab.

Has it just evaporated, replaced, obsoleted or am i just beeing blind ?

I quite miss it a lot - Newb that i am, i rely very much on the "Console"-Plugin and got so used to have the "JCompiler" in the pull-down-Menue; i usually work with two floating instances of "Console" - one for "System" the other, well "JCompile".

What happened ?

By the way - meanwhile i changed back to 4.2 (cause i had work to get finished) and find myself unable to get the "Jcompile" running properly.

The message is always the same :
.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: console.Console.setShell(Lconsole/Shell;)V
.
.

The message is quite a few lines i don't want to litter this forum with; if the complete message is needed i will put this in here later on.

When using the "compile" command within console, it goes on and on and on and on....nothing ! Not even an error-message.

As far as i see, there seems to be something wrong with the Console-Plugin (according to the message). Console seems to be unable to find the recent buffer-path automatically..hrmfp. Why ? No clue so far. When invoking "javac" by hand the path of the recent buffer is suggested within the "commando"-Box.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the needed plugins - so far with no use.

I hope anyone stumbled across a similar (or the same) problem and was more sophisticated than me and solved it :/

Thx in advance,

I am trying to get hold of the jEdit Snippets for Ruby on Rails as seen here:

http://synthesis.sbecker.net/articles/2006/03/20/jedit-snippets-for-ruby-on-rails

But unfortunately the link appears to be down. Does anyone else have a copy of these snippets they could send to me or upload somewhere?

Many thanks,

Charles

I'm having trouble getting the XML plugin to use an XML catalog to locate the schema referenced by my document. Can anybody help? Assuming all three documents (document to be edited, referenced schema and XML catalog) are in the same folder, I would expect the following to work:

root element of edited document:
<Ace
xmlns="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>

catalog element in catalog document:
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" prefer="public">
<public publicId="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb" uri="acedb.xsd"/>
</catalog>

If http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb.xsd is not available, I would expect the editor to look up http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb in the catalog and so find acedb.xsd in the current folder.

What actually happens is that the editor returns HTTP 403. I've tried endless variations on the above setup, all with no luck...

PS. I have added my catalog to the list of catalogs in the XML plug-in's options.

Hi,

I am using AntFarm to compile CodeBrowser and i get the following error, it seems that ant is trying to compile with jdk 1.4 and i have 1.5 installed on my computer, I checked in my path and classpath and i have nothing that mention jdk 1.4, i never get it installed on my computer...Anyone have any idea??

C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.3pre6\CodeBrowser\trunk\com\bitart\codebrowser\CBLeaf.java:47: cannot access javax.swing.tree.TreeNode

I use JEdit on Windows. For software that let's you set an external editor 'helper', I like to use JEdit, but frequently have trouble figuring out how.

In particular, I'd really like to use it with WinSCP. Can anyone give me instructions on how to do it for WinSCP? Or any general tips or instructions for doing this generally on windows with jedit?

[The fact that it's a java app instead of a normal .exe is what is at the root of the problem, I guess.]

I can't seem to find the configuration options to disable the auto-completion of quotes and parenthesis/brackets. I find it often creates the closing character at the wrong times when I'm editing. Can anyone point me to where I can change that option?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi All

I have a really dumb problem, I can already see the solution must be a simple switch somewhere, but can't find it.

After installing jEdit 4.2final on Windows (corporate environment, old Java version 1.3), I was initially able to change the window size in the usual way. Must have inadvertedly flicked some interface switch, now it always stays maximized, no matter how many times I toggle the "maximize/restore down" button in the window corner.

Anyone know how to switch it back?

I'm new to jEdit and just love how its code-folding works in ASP pages (both the VBScript and the HTML can be folded). But there's one thing I'd like to have that would make the two languages easier to differentiate:
How would I specify a different background color for VBScript in an ASP page?

Ok, I'm brand new to jEdit as of about an hour ago. I'd like to set my file associations, but cannot find the option to do that. Now, it may be staring me in the face, or maybe somewhere, perhaps obvious on this site, BUT, I can't find it... My eyeballs are getting shorter in my old age. Can someone please help me out here ??? (With the file associations that is.. lol)

OK...so I have the base syntax highlighting working for the RubyPlugin so that words like "class" and "def" get highlighted but since I'm new to Ruby programming a nice confirmation of when I actually type (or mistyped) a method name would be for more complete syntax hightlighting so that words like: find_all, belongs_to, has_many, scaffold, etc would be recognized.

Now, I know the highlighting is determined by the ruby.xml file and that I could just add keywords to the XML file to get the highlighting to work but I'd then need to constantly be updating the XML file as I added new gems.

So I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to get syntax highlighting for the methods (and all the other methods that my ruby install would support) in a dynamic fashion...looking at what is installed and looping through those functions? I'm also new to jEdit and trying to configure it to my liking.

2. If I do need to brute force the XML file and hardcode all the available methods, can someone point me in the direction of a page that would have all the available ruby on rail methods? And all the RHTML methods? I am having a hard time finding someplace where I could copy all the the method names out and format them for the ruby.xml file. I just want a list basically.

Many thanks,

I'm a newbie, and found how to install the Command Plug in and adapt the tool bar so I can comple and execute applications, but couldn't find out (or figure out) how to make a nice button to click to startup appletviewer to lauch an Applet...

I would like to compare two script files, like this version with previous version, through GUI. Can jEdit do this?

I searched the forums but could not find a similar question, so I posted one.

Hi,

i want to know if it is possible to have something like this highlighted as a function:

a ();
b ();
aa ();
ababab();


<*MARK_PREVIOUS TYPE="FUNCTION" EXCLUDE_MATCH="FALSE">(<*/MARK_PREVIOUS>

I know that this will highlight a function but with no space before (, i have code like that sometimes and i want to know if there is a way to highlight a function with n spaces before (

Thx a lot

Hello,

I haven't been abble to use Internet Explorer or Firefox under Windows with Info Viewer.

I use the following command line:

start "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe" $u

It seems to return the content of the buffer and not the file URL. I used jedit 4.2-pre6 with Info Viewer 1.5.9.

Has anyone attempted to do the same thing?

hi!

im trying to edit .wsf files but jedit cannot seem to syntax highlight codes with the "script language" sections.

it can aptly recognize .js files though.

i tried to change default edit mode to javascript, xml, html, but to no avail.

anyone have tips on how to go around this?

thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have just started using jEdit, and would like to create a new edit mode to handle Poser cr2 files. I have read thru the help docs, and am using the python.xml as a reference.

In python.xml, the following line handles comments:
PROPERTY NAME="lineComment" VALUE="#" /

So each line that begins with # is recognized as a comment line.

In a cr2 file, comment lines begin with //, and have no end of comment designation. So I tried to use the same cocept:
PROPERTY NAME="lineComment" VALUE="//" /

But I am not getting the results that I would expect. Comment lines are not recognized at all.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks for your time!

Hello,
I installed JEdit and found it wonderful.

I easily changed the color code settings for PHP but now I've a little problem.
That is: very often in web pages you have sections with different codes.

In the page I used for testing purposes I have:
- about 20 lines in PHP;
- about 20 lines in JavaScript;
- about 80 lines in (X)HTML;
Now, the three languages are following the "color rules" I set for PHP.

It is possible to have different code colors for these three languages in the same .php page? Please, tell me it is... and possibly how...

Thanks very much.

I am using JEdit 4.2 final, and I was wondering if there is a C++ class browser plugin or something that will show an "outline" ala Eclipse. I'd prefer to not have to upgrade to a 4.3 version, since that would mean installing manually instead of through apt-get. Thanks.
