Now using drupal
Submitted by Brad Mace on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 02:13
So we're now using drupal. Users, stories and links have been moved over. So many downloads were broken that we're just going to start from scratch with those. Everyone should submit useful files to the new downloads section. You can still get files from the old version of the site.

Some differences in drupal: You have a menu whose title is your user name. This menu lets you do lots of different things. In particular, it has a 'Create content' submenu where you can submit files, stories, links, polls or post in the forums.

Also important is the 'view submissions' item.
Reload Plugin Ant Task (jedit-ant-tasks.tar.gz v0.3 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 09:53
An Ant task that can reload a jEdit 4.2 plugin. This task can be used in plugin build.xml files to save repeatedly opening & closing the Plugin Manager. This version is aware of dependent plugins and by default also reloads them. The task can be used from within jEdit (for example, by using AntFarm), but is safe to include in build.xml files that may be used elsewhere (it will simply do nothing if jEdit is not available).
LazyFolds plugin (LazyFolds.jar v0.3 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 10:24
A plugin that can automatically add explicit folds around certain constructs in a jEdit buffer. Rules for finding where to place folds and defining what text to include with the fold marker are defined in an XML file for each edit mode. The user can add XML rules files to their ~/.jedit/lazyfolds/ directory. The plugin has default rules for Java and JavaScript which can be used as a guide for how to build new rules files. Now supports Java 1.5 syntax
GPL header template (header-gpl.vm v1.0 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 10:32
A template that can insert a GNU Public Licence header in a buffer using comment symbols and buffer settings appropriate to the buffer.
Unicode Escape (Unicode_Escape.bsh v1.0 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 10:41
Converts all selected characters to Java-style unicode escapes (e.g. \u0000) unless the selection is a sequence of unicode escapes in which case they are converted back to characters.
Ant Helper macros (Ant_Helper_Macros.tar.gz v1.0 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 10:47
4 simple macros that run the A,B,C,D targets in AntHelper but also force the AntFarm dockable window to stay closed. These are ideal for binding to shortcuts enabling you to work quickly without having a dockable you don't need to use popping up all the time.
Grep-like macros (Grep_Macros.tar.gz v1.0 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 10:50
2 macros that allow lines to be selected from a buffer based on whether they match (or do not match for the 2nd macro) a regular expression. The selected lines are placed in a new jEdit buffer. This is ideal for browsing large log files where you are looking for certain entries, etc.
Fold Java (Fold_Java.bsh v1.10 by Robert Fletcher)
Submitted by rfletch6 on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 11:17
Adds explicit folds around imports, static initializers, methods, constructors and inner classes in a Java buffer. The opening folds are appropriately labelled. methods of anonymous inner classes, etc. are also folded. The only known limitation is the macro doesn't pick up methods, constructors & inner classes that are package protected (i.e. have no public|protected|private declaration). This is basically a macro version of the LazyFolds plugin (the plugin can work for modes other than Java).

jDiff for 4.2
Submitted by xephyrus on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 21:17
Hi,

I vaguely remember somebody had made a dirty patch to jDiff for the 4.2preX versions of jEdit. Does anybody know where to find that?

Thanks,
. Topher

Changes some GUI properties to be more compact, with less wasted space. it'd shouldn't be hard to adjust this script to taste.
