Uninstalling Lazy 8 Ledger
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 10 January, 2004 - 19:08
I have tried out the Lazy 8 Ledger which came as a package on jEdit.
The Ledger does not suit my needs but I would like to use jEdit.
I have uninstalled Lazy 8 Ledger/jEdit completely and installed jEdit version 4.2pre6
Still jEdit comes up as "jEdit - Lazy 8 Ledger" with "DataEntry" "Report" "Advanved" as first (unactive) menu-items.
I have looked everywhere but cannot find where this setting can be removed.

Can anyone help me?

Connect to DB in separate thread
Submitted by Brad Mace on Monday, 12 January, 2004 - 19:26
Connecting to a database should happen in a separate thread so that jEdit isn't locked up if a server is slow or down.

Submitted by tequilacat on Wednesday, 14 January, 2004 - 13:39
This macro is an improvement of standard "Join Lines" function.
  • When there is no selection in buffer, it joins current line and next NON-empty line, removing any whitespace content between them.
  • If some text is selected, all empty lines within selected regions are removed.
Decompilation Issues
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 14 January, 2004 - 16:01
I'm not sure if this is a specific plug-in or jar files problem but here is the scenario.

Using jEdit (I used jEdit 4.0.3 and jEdit 4.2pre8) with the Java Insight plug-in... I added a jar added through Java Insight by right clicking on the All Packackes with the Add Archives.. menu item. After adding the class, it shows up properly...then right click and selected "Decompile with Jode"..and after doing so, it seems to lock freeze the program. It looks like it could be a memory or cpu usage issue but I'm not sure on this. It seem to be more apparent in the 4.0.3 and less so on the 4.2pre8.
External Help files, and Preview in Web Browser of active file :)
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 15 January, 2004 - 03:28
Hello,

After a few hours of frustration, I've finally got external help files (launched from a toolbar), and preview in web browser (also toolbar buttons) setup and working perfectly.

The way I did it was to use the Console plugin and I wrote a macro that launches processes. For the experts, this is probably no big deal, but for us beginners, here is how I did it..

runCommandInConsole(view,"System","hh \"I:\\Reference\\[Web]\\php_manual_en.chm\"");
view.getDockableWindowManager().toggleDockableWindow("console");

This loads the HTML help compiler with the php manual.

It would be nice if a option were available in the print
dialog to print only the currently selected block of text.

Get environment variable from Windows
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 16 January, 2004 - 16:13
I am not a java programmer, so I'm not sure where or how to do it, but is there a way to get an environment variable into a macro variable? I would like to use environment variable %USERPROFILE% so that when I copy my .jedit folder to other computers that I use, all of my macros, and configurations work as they should on the other computers, seamlessly without modification. Example macro:
user = "grymmjack";
quot = "\"";
prog = "hh";
file = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\" + user + "\\.jedit\\reference\\php.chm";
line  = quot + prog + quot + " " + file;
runCommandInConsole(view, "System", line);
  
Bitmap font support
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 16 January, 2004 - 16:18
Not sure if this is a java issue or not, but it seems jEdit has no support for bitmap based fonts. It would be nice to have the .FON (under windows) bitmap type fonts supported since there are so many excellent programming fonts of this flavor.
Extending classpath for AntViz
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 16 January, 2004 - 18:30
I'm trying to figure out how to add a directory to the classpath that JEdit loads with. Couldn't find it in the help.
In particular, I'm trying to use AntVizPlugin but its failing because it doesn't understand some custom tasks that we've defined. If I can add the directory containing these task implementation classes maybe it would work.

Thanks
