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?

Hello everybody,

Can jEdit be used as a Java Swing component that I could integrate in my own application ?

If I rightclick a file in windows explorer and select 'open with jedit' in the context menu, jlauncher starts jedit but with an empty document.

I tried with both 4.1 and 4.2pre8. jlauncher options are set to default.

Help Getting Started
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 6 February, 2004 - 19:34
I've just started learning how to write plugins, and i've been getting really annoyed because the menu items created aren't enabled... and my docking panel isn't in the docking list in the global options dialog.

If anyone can enlighten me it would be much appreciated.. the code and the jar are both in this rar archive. http://seccs.homeip.net/tomahawk/myplugin.rar


ps. don't bother going to the website it's on... the program isn't even half done yet.
Euro signs on Windows machines
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 7 February, 2004 - 13:26
I've got problems editing textfiles on a Windows 2000 machine when it comes to Euro signs/characters. I've seen the Jedit FAQ entry on that topic but it doesn't help me I'm afraid.

Basically what I would like to do is to be able to edit ISO-Latin textfiles containing Euro (€) characters, on that Windows machine, but still be able to use the textfiles with different editors (Notepad, Ultraedit, Jedit).

When I type the Euro sign in a Windows texteditor and save the file, and load it via Jedit, the Euro signs are corrupted. The other way round too: if I use Jedit to type the Euro sign it's just OK when I load the file with Jedit again, but with Windows texteditors wrong signs are being shown.

Also if I use Openoffice to load a textfile containing the Euro sign, just the textfiles created with a Windows texteditor are OK...

If I use the clipboard the conversion works, but this doesn't help me.

Mac OS X w/ latest JRE version 1.4.2_03: MacOS.jar plug-in failure
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 8 February, 2004 - 12:05
Hi, After installing Apple's latest Java update, version 1.4.2_03, upon double-clicking JEdit application, the following error message is shown within the "Plugin Error" dialog at startup:
The following plugin could not be loaded:
/Application/JEdit 4.2pre9/jars/MacOS.jar
Cannot start: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/apple/cocoa/application/NSMenu
Try updating to a newer version of the plugin.

When I then go to the plug-in manager, there is no newer version of MacOS.jar to install.
Thanks all.
Indents under javadoc comments
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 8 February, 2004 - 20:50
I line up the *s in my javadoc comments which puts them one column to the right of my normal indent. After closing the comment and pressing return, 4.1 would put the cursor in the correct column for starting a method. 4.2 puts the cursor under the *. What option turns it back to the 4.1 behavior? I originally thought it was a problem with deep indent but disabling that did not help.
/**
 *
 */
<---- 4.1 puts the cursor in this column
 <--- 4.2 puts the cursor in this column
How to launch URLs from within Jedit?
Submitted by pinchy on Sunday, 8 February, 2004 - 23:41
Hello,

Is there a way to click on a url within Jedit and have it launch in the default browser? Even if I have to place the cursor over the url and use a keyboard shortcut, this would be extremely useful for me - I keep most of my 'favorites" in a few text files.

Thanks.
DocSynch ()
Submitted by klizza on Monday, 9 February, 2004 - 02:30
DocSynch is a collaborative editing system on top of IRC. By transforming single-user editors into multi-user editors, it allows to remotely edit text documents together. This plugin for jEdit is the first and the reference implementation. You will need the IRC Plugin 2.0 and an IRC Server for communication. Currently you cannot edit in real-time, but you have to acquire a lock for a document before you can edit it. Improvements and new features concerning locking and real-time editing are planned for the next releases. UPLOADING DOES NOT WORK FOR SOME REASON. PLEASE DOWNLOAD at the sourceforge project for DocSynch: http://docsynch.sourceforge.net
Spell Checking Options
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 9 February, 2004 - 04:26
Hello All;

I just started using jEdit a couple of days ago, and I am very impressed. I'm
glad I found it before I spent the money and registered UltraEdit..

There is one feature/option that I am missing; the ability to save words in a
dictionary during spell checking. I have downloaded both spell checking
plugins (Aspell and Jazzy) but can't save words.

Aspell's option to save words in the dictionary isn't active, and although,
Jazzy has the option to save the words, they are only saved during the current
session, they aren't actually saved to the dictionary.

Is there a way to save words? Maybe I didn't install correctly or missed an
option..

TIA

Jane usage?
Submitted by aabbaabb on Monday, 9 February, 2004 - 07:29
This might be a bug but I will first try to use this forum.

I have tried everything but I can't get Jane working. I have set Jane to generate both errors.

I have added my project as Jane library (project's build folder).
But it can't see everything I want from my project files. Still I can see some classes from my project.

I have private variable clled myVariable. I use this variable e.g. in constructor but Jane gives me a warning: Cannot resolve symbol: myVariable

I have class where is static methods (MyClass). I am using those methods from my class and Janse warns: Cannot resolve symbol: MyClass

I have private method (method()) what I am using (at least in constructor) and Jane warns: Cannot resolve symbol: method

I am using newest Jane, newest jEdit devel (pre9) and J2SE build 1.4.2_01-b06

Can someone help me to get Jane working
FTP plugin requires reinstallation every session
Submitted by blalock on Tuesday, 10 February, 2004 - 01:50
Hi -- I'm using the FTP plugin to access files on a remote server using SFTP.
If I start Jedit and then install the plugin, it works fine. However, if I quit and then
restart Jedit, the plugin stops working. When I try to browse by SFTP, I get the "loading...."
messages with the arrows in a circle. Nothing ever happens. If I then use the plugin manager
to remove the FTP plugin and reinstall it, it will start working again for that session.

Any ideas on what's going wrong are appreciated.

I have Mac OS 10.3 with JVE 1.4.2. The problem occurs with all recent versions of
Jedit 4.2.7pre to 4.2.9pre.

Thanks,

Long text lines under linux
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 10 February, 2004 - 14:38
It appears that JEdit has problems when opening a file containing long lines - for example a file containing 5 lines each of 100000-500000 characters in length. Under
Windows this seems to work OK (if slowly) under Linux it seems to consume a large percentage of CPU then stop responding to user input (even after some time [>10 mins] has elapsed).

Any thoughts as to what could be causing this? I don't think this is really a bug (as it works OK under windows) but I would like help in narrowing down what could be causing this.
Search: how to exclude or include some (not all) subdirectories
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 10 February, 2004 - 17:09
I'm wondering whether it's possible to specify manually the subdirectories that should be included or excluded when doing a "Search" or a "Search & Replace" operation. The "search subdirectories" option either includes or excludes all subdirectories, but I'm looking for something more specific, perhaps a glob pattern that could be used in the "Filter" field, or better yet, a "Search in these subdirectories" and "Do not search in these subdirectories" list. In particular, at this moment I'm interested in excluding all CVS subdirectories from searches. A similar functionality would be useful in the OpenIt, FindFile and XSearch plug-ins.

Thanks for your help.
