Hi,

I've been using jEdit for a very long time now, and it's a great editor, much better than the lot of them out there.
However, in the past recent months I have somewhat missed the regular releases and updates that once appeared on a monthly basis. It appears that jEdit 4.3pre2 has been there for too long and I'm beginning to worry that development and updates for this excellent editor have ceased.

Please calm my worries and update the site with new releases

Thanks,
Sefer.

Hello,

the last beta release is from March 2005, so I just want to ask if there are plans to create new beta releases of jEdit or what's the future of this great tool. Thanks.

hi,

any one can explain how initial value pass to the jEdit.java (command line arguments) program and where you get that initial value? what is that file name?

thanks

After using (and loving) jEdit for a little while, I realised that, in PHP mode, code like the following is highlighted incorrectly:

...
// this is a comment ?>

The problem is that PHP always ends parsing at the closing tag ('?>'), even if the line it's on is commented with // or #. However jEdit's highlighting does not reflect this. This issue is covered in a bug report at:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=588&atid=100588&func=detail&aid=958013

However, I thought I'd bring the discussion here, too. I tried putting the following in the php.xml file:

<SEQ DELEGATE="PHP_LINECOMMENT">//</SEQ>
<SEQ DELEGATE="PHP_LINECOMMENT">#</SEQ>

<RULES SET="PHP_LINECOMMENT" DEFAULT="COMMENT1">
	<SEQ TYPE="NULL" DELEGATE="MAIN">?></SEQ>
	<SEQ TYPE="NULL" DELEGATE="PHP">&#xA;</SEQ>
</RULES>

What this does is delegate any code following // or # to my special PHP_LINECOMMENT rule set. This rule set should then end at either a PHP closing tag, going back to HTML mode; or at an end-of-line, going back to normal PHP mode. The former works and the latter doesn't.

This is the main point I wanted to raise for discussion. Why doesn't the newline character (&#xA or &#10) work, and is there a possible workaround? Using the newline character is also applicable to other highlighting issues, including (X/HT)ML attributes, because they can be spread over multiple lines.

Is there documented method using jEdit as the text editing component within another Swing application? As a replacement for the JTextPane object, for example?

Have anybody information or experience in extending jedit with lisp or some other functional languages?
May be it's possible to write scheme code and then compile it with Kawa http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/ into java byte-code and integrade with jedit?

I checked out jEdit from CVS and try to build it but it complains of a missing ant target "dist-13".

I guess I miss something here. Could someone kindly point me to the right direction.

Here is the console log:

D:\projects\opensource\jedit>ant -Dant.full.path=C:/Java/apache-ant-1.6.2/bin/ant build
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

jEdit:

BUILD FAILED
D:\projects\opensource\jedit\build.xml:31: The following error occurred while executing this line:
Target `dist-13' does not exist in this project.

Thanks,

I was trying add syntax highlighting to an existing standalone application. I think that JEdit has the best way of doing this. I don't mind including all the Jedit resources
including, startup scripts, etc, but I would like to just add the highlighting.

Is this in the wiki somewhere.

Here is my email(I may not monitor the forum)

I briefly checked the CVS, but I couldn't reallt find the answer to my questions: How are the rolling credits in the about dialog done? Java2D or some external library?

Thanks!

hi, i downloaded jedit 4.2 and loaded the sources into eclipse 3.0.1. i mentioned, that for a error free compilation there are some packages missing. why are they not included into the scr? can somebody tell me where to download these missing packages. it's something about com.apple and also com.sun.javadoc, as I found out. this is my first try to compile such a project, so i'm a newbie. regards.

Hi, I want to highlight [a-zA-Z]+Exception ...

I have the following on 3 separate lines in many, many files. So, I want to Search and Replace with regular expressions. Here are the lines:
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >
< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="/foo//links/" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

My regular expression can't find the above, and I don't understand why, any suggestions:

\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="foo" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

Thank you. Sorry, the above code looks dirty. I tried < code > and < ? php > here so it would cleanly post, but those input formats are not available. I had to add a space after every < and before every > . This message is difficult to read .

We develop an other java editor. Now we are using the mode-Files of jedit.
Is this ok for you?

I'm developing a web application using JSP/Servlets and I really like jEdit's help interface. I'd like to seperate it from jEdit and convert it into a servlet. I downloaded the source code, but all I can find are the XML/HTML help files, not the Java source. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi All,

it has been some weeks now JEdit 4.2 was released. When will be the next release ? Any hints ?

KS

it could be a good idea to have a guide or tutorial about creating SQL Server Types for the SQL Plugin, and add the FirebirdSQL Server Type for the SQL Plugin please.

API changes for v 4.2 include the following:

>The org.gjt.sp.jedit.syntax package can now be used in other programs.
>All you need to provide is error handling and logic for locating the
>XML mode files. See the package documentation for details

I don't really understand how I can use the package in my own program.
The comments within the API doc are pretty short :-|
Do I just have to use my own JEditTextArea instance? Maybe some of you
have already tried this feature and could give me some advice.

Many Thanks,
Felix

I think moving the build system over to maven will make a lot of difference.

I think moving the build system over to maven will make a lot of difference.

I made a plugin that I use myself for a while.
Now I would like to bring it into the CVS, so
I follow the instructions and ask Slava and M.Dillon
to add my ID in order to get access to the CVS and
have no reply from them. What is going on? What am
I doing wrong?
