I got the following message when installing
Ant:

AntFarm cannot locate tools.jar
The tools.jar archive cannot be located by AntFarm.
This will cause problems when trying to use the
modern and classic compiler in build scripts. If you
want AntFarm to work properly, please configure jEdit
to run with a Java Development Kit (JDK), not the
Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
View the Activity Log for more details.

From the Activity.Log, I found jedit is looking in
jre1.5.0/bin.

So, how do I tell jedit to look at jdk1.5.0/lib.
I checked the registry, I found the key Install_Path
has this value. Is this the registry-key whose value
I need to change.


Thanks

Hi, how can I insvruct jEdit
to wrap a selected (i. 300 chars long line) at a specific or some kind of usual column number?

It's not an automatic wraping at the view-layer that I want. I want to get \n-s inserted at for example every 80th character or better at each blank whose column# is > 80

does there exist such a command or does anyone has a macro for that?
Where can I find a collection of macros?

Hello,

Is there a way to sort the function/variables ... list in a case insensitive manner ?

Thanks in advance

Community,
I currently use UltraEdit but will want to go over to jEdit on my Linux machine.
In UltraEdit there is a list one can view (similar to the browser list) that one can set up to show the beginning of each procedure. By double clicking on a specific procedure, one is transported to the line in the main editor window.
In UltraEdit it's found on View | View/Lists | Function List.
Is there such a beastie on jEdit or anything similar.

Hi,
im using jEdit for a few days now and I must say the developers have been doing a really good work on it. But I have a strange problem which makes the editor almost unusable for me: I can't enter the "tilde"-sign (~) in the text window, although it works in all of my other applications.
I'm using version 4.2pre15 on a Debian Sarge system and Java RE 1.4.2.

Any Hints?

Greetings from germany,
Daniel

I've used Visual Interdev for many years. I've been using jEdit for the past week. I like jEdit better. But the one thing that I miss from V Interdev, which I find vital, is intelliscence. Intelliscence is when you type in the name of a function and the editor displays a little pop-up of the parameter list. For example, type the word "instr(" and a yellow popup displays this: "instr(start,string,string2,[compare])".

Anyone know how to change the default colors of the docking area? (File System Browser, HyperSearch Results, etc)

The colors in general are fine, but the thing that bothers me is that the *selected* panel does not stand out very clearly on my laptop display, which is what I use for work. So it's difficult to tell which panel to click to close down the docking area.

In a nutshell, there's poor contrast between the unselected and selected docks.

Thanks for any tips,
Paul

How to tell jEdit to immediately write a property to the properties file, before clicking the apply or ok button of the optionPane?thanks

Am a total jedit newbie...Found it to be much faster than expected...wanted to know whether there is any way to increase the fontsize of results in the hypersearch results window. My eyesight is not what it used to be...thanks in advance.

I have 2 questions about jEdit.

1: How to configure jEdit that it can fold sourcecode betwen { and } (or other configured chars/strings)... for example code looks like that:

function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) {
$gen_x = $new_x;
$scale = $old_x / $new_x;
$gen_y = intval( round( $old_y / $scale ) );
return array($gen_x, $gen_y);
}

and now i want to fold it to:

function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) { [4 lines]
}

------------------------

2: I usualy working o multiple files (5-10), and in prewious versions of jEdit, when i quit jedit and then launch it again, all opened files was still opened. Now, when i close and reopen jedit, it starts with blank file.
What/where is option to force jEdit to keep opened files open after reopen?

I really enjoy the built in command for source code line comment.
it would be great to have a source code line de-comment command.
or even - a source code line comment toggle command.

thanks

Hello, I'm new to jEdit coming from BBEdit. BBEdit had functions called "Copy Lines Containing..." and "Cut Lines Containing...". I can't find that jEdit has a similar function, does it exist?

For those that are not familiar with those functions here is an example. Take the following text file:

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
oranges, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

If you choose the "Copy Lines Containing..." function and specify 'bananas' as your query your clipboard will be set with the following

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi
