jEdit 4.1pre7 is now available. This release features some minor improvements, performance enhancements, and a lot of bug fixes.

First of all, a number of plugins need to be updated for the new icon set; right now they either look out-of-place or icons don't show up at all. This includes AntFarm, Sessions, JBrowse, AntViz, and maybe others.

Also, I would really, really, like to see someone step up to either take over CodeAid and Jane, or start from scratch to write a code completion plugin that actually works.

I would also like to see ProjectViewer and Gruntspud improve to the point where they are usable for day-to-day work.

This package is built against j2sdk1.4 (1.4.0.99beta-1) taken from Blackbox Java. They work fine for me but remember: use at your own risk.

Check out SSHTools if you're looking for a good, pure Java implementation of the SSH2 protocol. The next version of the FTP plugin - due out very soon - will use this library to implement secure FTP.

A busy holiday season, my recent engagement to my girlfriend of five years, and an unexpected flu have distracted me from jEdit stuff for the last month, so this batch of 7 updated and 3 new plugins covers from December up to the present.

A couple of the packages released yesterday had problems (XSLT and JDiffPlugin), so I am releasing updated versions of them, along with a new version of CommonControls.

jEdit 4.1pre8 is now available. This release features improvements in syntax highlighting, auto indent, documentation, and soft wrap scrolling performance. A number of bugs have been fixed too.

This evening, I have released the latest batch of jEdit plugins. This release consists of one new plugin (HeadlinePlugin 1.0.2) and five updates. Except for Console 3.4, all of these plugins work with both jEdit 4.0 and 4.1.

I don't think many jEdit developers know about this trick.

It is very useful for tracking down plugin bugs in a live jEdit instance.

After calling this BeanShell code:
setAccessibility(true);
You can manipulate any private, protected or package-private variable or method.

Ammai.com has released a tutorial on how to build a Web Service analyzer using XSLT. This tutorial will use the power of XSLT and WSDL documents to build a Web Service analyzer that will report the operations, parameters, and description of a Web Service. Best of all, it uses the latest jEdit and the XSLT Plugin throughout the tutorial. You will learn how to transform and use the XPath tool in jEdit.
