Syntax Highlighing for PL/SQL - What file extension?
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 11:35
When a .html file is opened, jEdit knows to use HTML syntax highlighing. When a .php file is opened, it knows to yse the PHP syntax highlighing. What extension is needed to that jEdit will use pl-sql syntax highlighting when a file is opened?
+line:
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 13:33
Hello, I am using jEdit 4.2pre14 and seems the +line: option does not work correctly. If I use a line number, say 2000 then the caret is positioned at line 2000 but the screen is not scrolled down to bring up the line in the visible area. You have to scroll down to see the caret/hightlighted line. Any input?
Thanks

JDiff Virtual vs Physical Overview
Submitted by eeverman on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 14:46
Hi-

Using JDif to compare two long files, I first thought they were identical b/c no 'color bars' showed up. However, by scrolling down I found that there were differences, just not within the current window.

Then I found the JDiff Virtual / Physical option: Physical adds another set of bars to show a complete overview w/o having to scroll, Virtual takes the bars away but reserves the same space for them. So I'm wondering, if the space is always reserved, why have the option? And if in some future release the space can be collapsed, shouldn't the 'Physical' option be the default?

Thanks for JDiff, is a great plug-in!

Platform: OSX 10.3 java 1.4.2, JEdit 4.2 pre 14, JDiff 1.4.1

Thanks,
--ee

Custom format for clock in status bar?
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 11:22
The clock in the status bar of jEdit currently shows the time in 12hr-mode. There should be a configuration dialog to select the desired time-format. Or just an editbox to enter the format pattern.
jEdit GTK Icons (jedit-GTK-icons.jar v1.0 by Alexander Klimetschek / Lars Trieloff)
Submitted by klizza on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 14:01
Put them into $JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext and these icons will be used automatically by jEdit instead of the default ones.

Using Gruntspud to retrieve jedit from sourceforge
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 21:08
I'm trying to use Gruntspud to get the jedit cvs files on sourceforge.

USing gruntspud 0.4.6-beta on Windows XP.
When I issue an update command I get the following:

Changing home directory to c:\mycvs
Command update -d -P jEdit
[:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jedit]
Opening connection
Connection opened
Local path is c:\mycvs
unrecognized request `Case '
Closing connection


Has any successfully used gruntspud to retrive jedit or jedit-plugin files from sourceforge?

Is there a workaround to the "unrecognized request" problem?
Editor/Word Wrap | word margin:0 v4.2 bug?
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 23:28
In version 4.1 there was possinility to specify word margin:0 (which was an equivalent of 100%) and lines where wrapped nicely by the end of visible textarea. That feature was awesome but in version 4.2 I can't set it to 0 and it force me to select numbers of characters to wrap - I hate it! When I close my left pane it wrap line by that damn 80 chars and whole chunk of textarea just unusable. I've read release notes and it says that margin:0 was removed becouse it unfunctional, but IT IS FUNCTIONAL in v 4.1 Please take it BACK!!! Smiling

Or maybe somebody knows that I don't?

Thanks.
python indentation trouble
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 26 June, 2004 - 14:16
hi, i'm trying to use jedit with python, but jedit fails in indentation

e.g
i define a loop ('_' instead of ' ' for readability)
for i in range(10):
____print i
then to get out of the loop, i hit : but it doesn't unindent as needed, it just goes 1 space back. In every other python editor i've been using for years (emacs, idle, etc) behaves as expected.
for i in range(10):
____print i
___outSideOfTheLoop
instead of
for i in range(10):
____print i
outSideOfTheLoop
so i can't use jEdit to python
I can't find a required plugin
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 26 June, 2004 - 20:39
I would like to use the lilypond plugin for jedit, downloaded and added it to the .jedt/jars directory. Then restarted jedit and it told me I needed another plugin, got it, restarted, now need another plugin, etc, so far about a dozen times. I am still being told I need the plugin jhall.jar. I thought I finally found it and so copied it to the directory but now that results in another error, so I renamed it to .old. Now when I start jedit I am told lilypond plugin requires jhall.jar plugin.
Anyone have this plugin or know where I can get it?
Thanks
Make line comment command act as a toggle.
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 27 June, 2004 - 09:24
I modified the JEditTextArea.lineComment method to insert a comment at the very beginning of the selected line(s) if the line(s) didn't already begin with a comment. The comment is removed if it is already there. This allows the "line comment" command to act as a toggle - commenting out uncommented lines, uncommenting lines already commented.

Would this be a useful feature?

Code from JEditTextArea.java (JEdit 4.1 final), beginning at line 4119:

String text = getLineText(lines[i]);
// Toggle comments at beginning of line, add if not there, remove if there.
if (text.startsWith(comment)) {
buffer.remove(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]), comment.length());
}
else {
buffer.insert(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]), comment);
}
// buffer.insert(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]),
// + MiscUtilities.getLeadingWhiteSpace(text),
// comment);
plugin doesn't work correctly
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 28 June, 2004 - 05:39

I have jedit-4.1 and the appropriate plugins installed and running. On the web site http://lily4jedit.sourceforge.net/

I see these instructions-

Go to Utilites->Global Options and select jEdit->Docking node. Set the following dockings:

    * Error List: bottom
    * LilyTool: top
    * LilyTool Console: bottom
    * Structure Browser: left

But when I do this I do not have the lilytool options in the list. The other plugins are listed.

then this -

At jEdit->Editing node:

    * set "Change settings for mode:" to "lilypond".
    * set "Folding mode" to sidekick".

Again, my menu does not have the option for lilypond, but does have sidekick.

And this point -

Select Plugins->LilyTool node.

    * If you use Windows you have to set the path to bash.
    * Set the path to your PS viewer.

On my list of plugins I see Lilytool and lots of options but no Node or anything like that.

The biggest problem is I have no syntax highlighting for lilypond, so I have it set to tex to get some highlighting.

I have installed lily4jedit-0.2 and jedit-4.1 on FreeBSD-5.1. I have installed the plugins - lilypondtool, lilyjhelp,sidekick, console, and several others, and the lilymode.xml is in the .jedit/modes directory. I have added the appropriate line from the lilymode.xml file to the catalog file, restarted jedit, and still do not have the above mentioned options and syntax highlighting.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Thanks,

Chip

Adding classes to the Jython classpath
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 29 June, 2004 - 14:49
Please can someone tell me how to add jars to the classpath so that the JEdit Jyhton interpreter can see 3rd party Java classes? Does the interpreter use the system classpath?

Thanks,

option to disable "Files Changed on Disk" dialog - add icon to buffer tabs instead
Submitted by paulflory on Tuesday, 29 June, 2004 - 15:13
I often use jEdit to effectively "tail" log files that are active and changing periodically while editing other files.

Unfortunately, the dialog "Files Changed on Disk" pops open repeatedly and has become an annoyance, although the information is certainly helpful.

It would be wonderful if there was an option to disable this dialog.

Furthermore, it would be even better if we had an appropriate icon appear on the respective buffer tab indicating that the file changed. That way we could see at a glance which files have changed on disk and continue editing files at the same time.

Anyone else second this request? Alternatives?

Thanks,
Paul
