ReadOnly_Buffer.bsh v1.0 by codi
Submitted by codi on Saturday, 5 June, 2004 - 22:22
This macro will set current buffer to read-only mode without changing file flag on hard disc so another user can access that file in read-write mode. Another call will unset buffer read-only flag. requires JDK 1.4, jEdit4.2 This is 1.0 version, tested on Win2K, Jedit 4.2pre14 and jdk1.4.2_02.
getter/setter macro for Java/C++ (gettersetter.bsh v0.91 by John Gellene, Francis Dobi)
Submitted by francisdobi on Monday, 7 June, 2004 - 08:52
This is the modified version of the Make_Get_and_Set_Methods.bsh included with jEdit 4.1. It can handle assignment in declaration. (The one provided with some jEdit versions can't handle this) Can generate javadoc works with static and boolean fields. See usage notes in macro. 0.91: Fixed static field recognition.
How to change from JRE to JDK?
Submitted by laroald on Monday, 7 June, 2004 - 18:00
Two days ago I installed jEdit for the first time. Then JEdit discovered the JRE I have on my harddisk. I would like to use JEdit for compiling java source and have therefore tried a lot to let jEdit use JRE instead of JRE. I have read that I should " go to Start-->JEdit-->Set JEdit parameters and choose \bin\javaw.exe", but that is not possible with the last version of jEdit. (I'm using win.98).

I have also been tried this : "To compile, set your working directory (in the console) to the java programs directory (on mine it's C:\j2sdk1.4.1_06\bin. Then go to Plugins->Console->javac and the program will run for you.".

Doesn't this mean the plugin "console"? This console give me a message (in green colour:
Working directory is C:\Programfiler\JEdit
I'm not capable to change this adress over to my SDK-bin-folder.
I hope someone could help me with this.

Can't download DotComplete
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 8 June, 2004 - 15:55
I have tried over and over to do this with the plugin manager and I can't get it to work. I check DotComplete, hit install, and it doesn't even look as though it is trying to install. I am running jEdit 4.1.3 with Java 1.4.2. I tried removing CodeAid to see if that was the problem and it would still not go. I had the same problem for another plugin and I tried just downloading and putting the jar file in my jars directory and that just caused jEdit to crash constantly.

Correctly highlights single-character accents, most notably \", whether or not the character is in {}. v1.1 required the character to be in {}.
Filesystem browser slow over network -- need alternate plugin, "SlowOpen"
Submitted by tazk on Friday, 11 June, 2004 - 11:10
(I'm using jEdit 4.2 pre14 on the Windows platform)

I can see that a lot of thought and work has been put in to improve the Filesystem browser in jEdit 4.2. I like the new interface. In 4.1, I used to often get an error popup when I typed a directory name in the filename field. I don't get run into that problem with 4.2. However...

One thing I liked about the Filesystem browser in 4.1 is that it worked well over slow networks. Because it did not have filename completion, I was able to type ahead in the filename field and open a file without waiting for a DIR I/O operation to complete. This is important since I often work from home accessing my files through a "NET USE" over a VPN. It can take, literally, seconds for jEdit to populate the File System Browser windows of my remote directories. I want to be able to enter "source/abc/def/ghi/Main.java", for instance, or "../tests/TestClass.java" and quickly open a file when I know the exact filename. Even when I'm at work on an enterprise-quality LAN, identifying remote files to open can be overly slow with jEdit 4.2. The jEdit 4.2 File System Browser works well for local files but it can be a stumbling block for remote. I've even gotten to the point where sometimes I open a Command Prompt and type jedit on the command line with the full pathname, rather than go through the File System Browser.


When I save a file, jEdit 4.2 also goes through a cycle with an awkward wait time. When I hit Control-S to save a file, jEdit goes into a mode where it beeps if I try to make new edits to files, it then enters its save, prints a message on the screen (like "1 I/O in progress"), begins to save the file and lets me type. Perhaps jEdit is doing something with its "~" file during the beep period. Over slow networks, the beep period can take several seconds.

Searching for text within a large file on a remote drive can also be slow. It appears that sometimes jEdit goes to disk during a Search->File operation on the current buffer.

So I wish that jEdit would work better on slow networks. I see that there's a plugin called "FastOpen". Perhaps we also need a plug-in called "SlowOpen". And I think improvements could be made in other areas to support remote-file work.

Thanks.
Vertical toolbar, rather than horizontal.
Submitted by kelly leahy on Friday, 11 June, 2004 - 21:49
I've modified the code on my local version of jEdit to put the toolbar on the LHS of the screen, rather than on the top of the screen. This saves me a lot of space since I use a laptop with a 14" monitor. It would be nice if we could get this as a normal feature of jEdit (so I don't have to keep modifying the code to support it). I'd be happy to provide my code, though it is really just a hack, and I don't recommend using it as is.

It seems to me that a method could be added to the class for a toolbar that identifies whether the toolbar supports vertical orientation or not. Then, when toolbars are loaded, they could be put on the left or on the top by a global option. Alternatively, it might be nice for each toolbar to choose on its own (via the "Global Options" pages) where it should appear.

Anyway, that's my request...

jedit does not get focus an launch under fedora core 2
Submitted by vldmr on Monday, 14 June, 2004 - 16:26
I believe the problem only appeared after installing fc2 with kde3.2. Launching jedit or opening file with jedit launch script does bring jedit window forward, but keyboard focus is still in whatever window was active and used to open file (be it shell or konqueror). So what do I miss here? jedit version is 4.1final. Here is launch script:
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2
export java="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
exec $java -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m -jar /usr/share/jedit/4.1/jedit.jar "$@"

Thanks for any hints

Where is AntHelper 0.8.4?
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 14 June, 2004 - 19:01
Beta plugins for AntHelper for JavaCore have been posted, but it contains a dependency to AntHelper Plugin 0.8.4. The latest I could find on this site or CVS is 0.8.3.

Is there a 0.8.4 or is the dependency in error?
How to compile and execute a Perl script?

Searching multiple file types.
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 14 June, 2004 - 21:55
I know this is a RTFM situation, and I have - but am having a senior moment.

I want to search *.xml and *.java files.

I know in 4.2pre11 *.xml|*.java in the filter would do this for me. (I still have it on one of my other machines.) But in 4.2pre12 that doesn't work.

What am I missing?
Automatically going to syntax/runtime errors in Python files
Submitted by kmmcdonald on Monday, 14 June, 2004 - 22:39
A quick search under "python" didn't show anything relevant, so forgive me if this
has been discussed before. (I suspect it has). I use jEdit (currently 4.2pre11--should
probably upgrade) to program in Python, and would love to be able to:

1) Hit a key to have the current Python file executed,
2) Have any error-related output sent to the Error List
window, and have the editing cursor relocated to the point
of the last reported error, if that file is currently the 'topmost'
displayed file in jEdit.

Using 'Macros>Misc>Run Script', I can get the file to be run,
but all of the resultant output shows up in the Console, and
errors are not written to the error list.

Is there a way to do this for Python?

Thanks,
Ken
Questions about key bindings; getting the Control key to work in OS X, is there an editable file?; and other key-related questio
Submitted by kmmcdonald on Tuesday, 15 June, 2004 - 03:04
As the topic line suggests, I'm using jEdit in OS X, and one of the problems I'm finding is that I cannot assign control-key-combos to actions. For example, I'd like to bind ^a to the command to move to the start of a line, but typing Ctrl-a in the key bindings interface doesn't do anything--though typing Command-a does set the key binding to 'C-a'. It appears as if my Control key (and for that matter, the Alt key) aren't being processed properly (though in the case of the alt key, it does have an effect, just not a useful one; 'Alt-m' produces a 'mu' character, which I suppose might actually work as a binding, but I'm reluctant to proceed with it.)

Also, for defining large numbers of bindings, I find the bindings dialog to be a little annoying. Is there a file of bindings anywhere which can be hand-edited? I looked, but did not find...

And still more...is it possible to have particular sets of bindings associated with particular types of files, i.e. one set of bindings for *.py files, another for *.c?

And finally...is there documentation anywhere for using python to script jedit? It'd be very nice for me to be able to do this...

Thanks,
Ken
JEdit & Spanish keyboard on Powerbook
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 17 June, 2004 - 06:59
I really love JEdit, and it runs pretty much OK on my powerbook, expect that there are 2 keys on the keyboard that don't seem to be generating any input. I've read lots of problems here regarding tildes and other type of accents. Some of these missing keys characters are in fact accents, but they also are used to open brackets (and I don't have to tell you how difficult this omission makes programming). These are the keys (and associated characters) that generate no input: key: "`" (straight) "^" (with shift) "[" (with alt) key "´" (straight) "¨" (with shift) "{" (with alt) <----DANGER!
GNOME Icons for jEdit (gnome_jedit_icons.jar v0.1 by yogi)
