Hey all, Trying to customize the stock Insert_Date.bsh macro to use the format I want but can't get it to work. So I tried this, and it didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

    Date today;
    String output;
    SimpleDateFormat formatter;

    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E, M d, y - h :m  a", currentLocale);
    today = new Date();
    output = formatter.format(today);

    // inserting date and internet time to textarea
    textArea.setSelectedText(ouput);

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I just installed the Whitespace plugin with 4.2pre8 but when I select "Show Spaces" or any other of the "Show" options, nothing changes.

Should the current Whitespace plugin work with 4.2pre8 or am I missing something?

Regards
Thomas

Hi,

I tried to use the Context-help plugin for php, which opens the windows-helpviewer, to access a ".chm"-php helpfile via following bsh-script:

---------------------------------------------------------
command = new StringBuffer();
command.append("hh.exe ");
command.append("mk:@MSITStore:");
command.append(helpDirectory);
command.append("/php_manual_en.chm");
command.append("::/function.");
command.append(keyWord);
command.append(".html");
runCommandInConsole(view,"System",command.toString());
---------------------------------------------------------

Now I've got 2 problems..:

First, the bsh-script does not exit and if I try to access the help again, before closing the helpviewer, the script waits for the first process to exit..
What command shall I use, to open an external application without waiting for it.


Second, following Exception each time I access Context-help:


---------------------------------------------------------

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

It would be handy if I could host a local repository of plug-ins developed specifically for in-house purposes for jEdit and allow people to download them using the regular plug-in manager.

I suppose this wouldn't be hard for me to implement... hmmm...

Some languages don't use the typical squiglly brackets "{" to demarcate chunks of code. Nor do they use any brackets at all. With these languages it would be nice if the indentOpenBrackets and indentCloseBrackets properties would accept regexes as values just like the indentNextLine property does.

Now I could be mistaken and you *can* use regexes with the bracket properties. The fact that I couldn't get it to work doesn't mean much, but I don't think so. I see a few modes where people have tried and then commented out those tags. So, please consider this feature for a future jEdit release.

You should consider providing integrated support for CSE HTML Validator. http://www.htmlvalidator.com/. HTML Validator is an "HTML and CSS development tool that assists in the creation of syntactically correct and accessible HTML and CSS documents". It's amazingly thorough and generally great at what it does, and lots of other professional editors are adding support for it - http://www.htmlvalidator.com/htmlval/integration.html. I just discovered jEdit today. It looks incredible! I'll be switching to it from Macromedia HomeSite. The only thing I can tell so far that I'll miss is my CSE HTML Validator integration. Please think about adding it. Thank you!!!

Is anyone coding AntFarm anymore?

It has been "broken" for a while and there has been open bugs for it many months.

I've noticed two strange and annoying behaviors of the JEdit window in Windows. I can live with them, but it would be nice if they where fixed. I'm not really sure if this is a feature or a bug... anyway.
(1) When in Windows and clicking Windows + M to minimize all windows JEdit is not minimized. It just loses focus if it got it. This can be a bit annoying.
(2) When right clicking a file in Windows and clicking Open with JEdit the JEdit window comes to the front. But when selecting two files, right clicking, and clicking Show diff in JEdit the JEdit window doesn't come to front. It would be nice if it have the same behavior, coming to the front.

The most common reason for me to not use JEdit when I actually would like to use it is when writing plain human text, like this. When it comes to spell checking I almost always use MS Word. The spell checking features I'm missing are:
(1) Easy switching language. I often write text in both English and my native language and I would like to be able to fast and easy switch the active dictionary with a simple menu. I think this one should be pretty simple to implement!?
(2) I really like the MS Word spell checking when you're writing. Misspelled words are marked with a red underline. If you like to change the word you can do it by the keyboard, or you can right click the word and you get a popup menu with suggestions.
Any chance to get these features implemented in Jazzy (or any other way into JEdit)? This would be one of the most appreciated JEdit feature that I can think of. In my opinion it would greatly improve the hole of JEdit!
(By the way, I had to write this feature request in MS World, not in JEdit .)
I like both JEdit and Jazzy , see you!

Hi All,

I want to use the code browser for php files. But i've saved all my library files as .inc and not as .php. Therefore the codebrowser won't work. Does anybody knows how i can solve this problem?

Thanx

When you press enter the new line will be auto indented to the first previous indented line. I would like to change this so the new line would not be indented if the previous line where not in dented. (The behaviour is somewhat different with text, but I think you get the idea.) Example: If I got this: And press return the next line will be indented, like this: I wouldn't it like this: Hope I got my point through! Thanks!

I am having no luck in configuring JIndex 1.1.
I am mixing the IBM 1.4.1 JDK src.zip and the Sun 1.4.1 SDK documentation. There appear to be no error messages so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It might be that JIndex will only work with SDK 1.3???

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks,

George Seaton

I installed jEdit 4.2pre8 on Windows 2000. It doesn't see my environment varibales, such as JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, etc. Is there a place where I can set a variable so that jEdit can detect my environment variables.

Thanks.

Is there a way to make the graphical items a smaller size? One specific example is the HyperSearch Results. When I dock the results at the bottom of the view, the top edge of the results has an icon for "Remove All Nodes" and "Toggle Multiple Results". While these are occasionally useful, I would much rather have the space they use for a larger text area. The icons cause the border between the results and the edit area to be twice the size it needs to be.
