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Try updating to a newer version of the plugin.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.

Submitted by baloo on Wednesday, 11 February, 2004 - 15:31

Eclipse.org plugin? Plus Others
Submitted by dbareis on Thursday, 12 February, 2004 - 09:22
1. As far as I can see JEDIT had no eclipse plugin capability (eclipse.org), is this planned?

2. I would like JEDIT to support projects. The plugin is a bit ordinary. What would be enough for me is to be able to be able to have main jedit settings in one file which I can ask JEDIT to use from the command line, I would want this to contain the state info, files loaded etc. I can then write a simple batch file which looks for this file in the current directory or use central one if none found.
I would then be able to do what I've been able to do for years and that is start my editor in any projects directory and continue working EXACTLY like I left it, even if this was a year ago...

Bye,
Dennis

I think downloads should contain documentation, I've just downloaded the XP icons download and have no idea what to do with them, no readme or anything. The mangled tooltip on the site says something about JAVA_HOME which I'm not sure what this is and "jre\lib\ext" which as far as I can see this subtree doesn't exist.

My 2 cents worth,

jEdit icon pack and ToolBar-Icons
Submitted by incsMueller on Thursday, 12 February, 2004 - 10:18
Hi community,
I've download the jEdit icon pack from jedit.org. My problem is now, that I can't find any information about how to install this pack !?
Furthermore I've download some icons from Phoenity for the toolbar. How can I integrate this in JEdit ? Ok to add the icons one by one manual above the Options-Menu it's no problem, but how can I add the whole icons, e.g. over a properties file ?

Thanks a lot for helping answers.

Help please. How to dock buffers as tabs on top of edit area?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 14 February, 2004 - 06:15
I am using 4.1. I saw the jEdit screenshots and learn it's possible to dock all the open buffers as tabs on top of the edit area. After searching around everywhere, I was still out of luck. Could you please give me a hint? Thanks.
User definable menu options for command line driven programs
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 14 February, 2004 - 22:38
To start, I'll say that I am very impressed with Jedit. Thank you for all the hard work from the programmers associated. A small request I'd like to make. For a long time I used UltraEdit by IDM and it was and still is a fine product. It had a feature that embedded programmers like myself use that allowed me to define menu options that would run console commands without having to pull up the console.

Is there a plugin for something like this now?
