theme badly broken in IE (right blocks)
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 30 January, 2004 - 02:07
i tried to browse this site with Internet Explorer (6, XP) and noticed quite a layout bug: the right blocks get moved down below the last line of the main content (screenshot). this makes the site basically unusable (the login block is 4 or 8 pages down) in the browser used by 90% of the people ...
multiple users on XP
Submitted by dbs_sf on Friday, 30 January, 2004 - 17:56
I just installed jedit on my XP box using the admin account. The installation went smoothly, but now I can't access the application from other accounts. Is there a way to share jedit with multiple XP accounts?

Thanks,

I really would like to have login form on the top right hand corner. Now it is far below and I don't ever remember to login.
jEdit Main window won't appear in OS X Panther
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 30 January, 2004 - 21:09
I recently installed a new ram chip in my computing. Immediately after, jEdit stopped working. it loads into the dock and brings up the loading screen. then, all it shows is a minimized file in the dock of a java file i was working on. clicking on this file closes it, but not jEdit.

As far as I can tell, i think this is a jEdit only thing going on; all the other java programs i tested worked fine.
Hiding the period at the end of lines...
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 31 January, 2004 - 18:14
I don't like that period at the end of the line. It gets annoying.

How do I turn it off? (I'm using jEdit 4.2pre8)
RDF/OWL Mode (rdf.xml v1.0 by Ivan Herman)
Submitted by herman_ivan on Sunday, 1 February, 2004 - 17:09

To be used for RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language) XML applications. For the details of these XML Applications, used for the Semantic Web, see the Semantic Web Home page of the World Wide Web Consortium: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/.

This edit mode simply highlights the RDF/RDFS/OWL tags and attributes. Nothing fancy.

Mouse wheel scrolling under Windows XP not active
Submitted by gorb on Monday, 2 February, 2004 - 10:33
Hi All,

I don't know wether this topic
a) has been handled before, or
b) belongs in this forum,
but here goes: my mouse wheel is dead in jEdit under WinXP.

Does anybody know why this could be happening?
I updated my JRE to version 1.4.2_03, just to be sure, but the behaviour
is the same: the mouse wheel is dead.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

What plugins are developed
Submitted by aabbaabb on Monday, 2 February, 2004 - 13:56
Could we have here or in plugins page an information which plugins are still developed and which are not. This would help a lot when designing which plugins to use.

Attention: Plugin authors and hackers
Submitted by Brad Mace on Wednesday, 4 February, 2004 - 07:56
There have been many plugins submitted to this site, and even a few only mentioned on the mailing lists, that have never been released on Plugin Central. Some are hacked versions of existing plugins, some are completely new. We'd like to encourage all of you to release your plugins on Plugin Central so they are more available to the community. Installing and updating plugins through the plugin manager is just plain easier than downloading them here.

We'd also like to see your improvements make it back into the cvs repository. Slava and Mike will be happy to add anyone to the project who wants to work on a plugin.

If you're hacking an unmaintained plugin (see Plugin Maintainers), you can take it over, or just add your improvements and do a single release. If you're hacking a maintained plugin, talk to the current maintainer. They're usually happy to accept contributions.
perl integration
Submitted by Skeeve on Wednesday, 4 February, 2004 - 13:50
Hi!

I'm using jEdit 4.1 final on Mac OS X. Although it has many bugs, I like it very much and recommended it to anyone who wanted to know (and even to those who didn't).

Now I'm stuck with the question, how to intergrate perl. jEdit has a nice syntax highlighting and that's fine. But is there a way to invoke a syntax check for the current buffer and to navigate through the errors found?
Mac OS Look And Feel breaks w/ new Java update

Case conversion on language keywords.
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 4 February, 2004 - 18:27
jEdit is being used at my company for editing source code written in our proprietary language. We have already defined a new language mode and registered it in the catalog. Syntax highlighting for our language works perfectly at this point.

My company's language's keywords are all in upper case, while variable, function and other identifiers are all in lower case, and this rules are enforced by our compiler. When writing code, it is actually a pain to use the CAPS LOCK key constantly to switch between lower and upper case, so we are wondering whether jEdit can do upper case conversion automatically on keywords just as it highlights them (that way we could take advantage of the rules we specified in our custom mode for this purpose and we would not need any additional programming). The DOS-based editor we used previously had this capability.

Is this feature already included in jEdit? We have not been able to find it in the user's guide. We are using jEdit 4.2-pre8. Should I post this as a Feature Request?

I believe this feature would be useful for people working in other languages as well; for example, I think SQL programmers will like it (yes, I have already checked out the tsql mode for guidance, but I could not find anything regarding this matter -- it ignores the case when highlighting and does not do case conversion).

Thank you.
File Inspector (Navigate Classes and Functions and Variables)
Submitted by Travis Carden on Thursday, 5 February, 2004 - 01:24
The Zend Development Environment has a really cool feature they call "File Inspector". It parses PHP files and lists in a side bar all the functions, classes, variables, and constants and links them to the location of their declaration in the file they're in. That's WAY cool. Features are explained at http://www.zend.com/store/products/studio-editing-features.php.

BeanShell 2.0b1 breaks jEdit 4.1
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 5 February, 2004 - 10:34
I'm running on MacOS X 10.2.8 with Java 1.4.1_01

I installed BeanShell 2.0b1 in the JVM standard Extensions folder, and jEdit would no longer launch, giving a class loader error (class changed).

So my question is: can I make jEdit use the BeanShell interpreter in the system classpath rather than its own bundled one?
