Hi,

The XPath plug-in is a good idea, however it is relatively useless and I hardly ever use it purely because you cannot perform XPath queries relative to a specific node (they are always executed relative to the root node) and therefore you can never test out and optimise your XPath queries. For example:

If I had the some XML representing a page and the current node I was matching (using XSLT for example) was the "body" node, but I wanted to find out the title of the page from this node the best way to do this would be to use the query "ancestor::page/@title". However this is not possible to test in the current XPath plugin.

I recently upgraded from 4.1 final to 4.2pre7 and I can't figure out how to configure things as they were in 4.1f for wrapping. In 4.1f, I set word wrap on soft and unfortunately I can't recall what the wrap margin was set at. Nevertheless, I though that the wrap margin in 4.1f somehow adjusted with the edit pane's width as I never had to scroll vertically to see my code. I don't seem to be able to achieve this in 4.2p7.

I'm running jedit 4.1 final on Windows 2000 and Sun's jdk 1.4.0. I've been using jedit for a year at least. It recently began to hang on startup. The splash screen comes up and then nothing else happens. The splash remains stuck on the screen. The only different thing I can think of doing recently is I started learning about beanshell macros and how to write them. I had a couple of my own macros saved in my config area, but I've since deleted them. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling jedit, but the behavior remains. Could anyone please point me in the direction of something else to try, or some documenation to check?

I'm looking to do the opposite of applying comments (both line and range) to a selection. Any idea how to do this?

Hi all,

I just love jEdit, but cannot get accented vowels appear when typed. I'm using Spanish MacOSX Panther and 4.2pre7, but it happened in Jaguar and 4.1. I'm sure this has been documented anywhere, but cannot find it... is there any solution?

Hello there,

I am using jedit to write C source code. To find functions I often use directory search.

When opening directory search the filter is sometimes reset to "*.c" although I always enter "*.[hc]" in this field.

How can I change this behaviour and for example have "*.[hc]" as default filter?

Cheers

To be exact; this is a KDE problem.

JEdit 4.1 final installs fine in Mandrake 9.2. A fresh install of j2re1.4.2_03 followed by linking j2re; export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re; and a single command "jedit" from terminal results in a running application.

Now, why will KDE -not- open JEdit? "jedit" from the quicklauncher does not open the application. The ADD Application from medudrake with command "jedit" also does not work.I do not want to open a terminal each time to use jedit. help!

Please help a newbie fix my simple problem with KDE/jedit.
