International character input
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 21 October, 2004 - 00:41
Whenever I type the a single quote (') or the double quote (") or a tilde (~) followed by certain letters it auto-corrects it into an accented character:

So:
'a => á
"a => ä
~n => ñ
"u => ü
/c => ¢
etc.

I am not sure if it is something Java is doing or if it is JEdit enabling international character input. This is under Windows XP SP2, JRE 1.5.0, Jedit 4.2. Either way, it makes writing program code a major pain.

The XML plugin don't find my DTD
Submitted by Marcogringo on Thursday, 21 October, 2004 - 07:23
Hi, I have a problem with the XML plugin : I can't find how to use it when a dtd (or an XML schema) is associated to a document.
Here is a part doctype of my document "my_tree.xml":
!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "my_product.dtd" (encapsulate in < and > : sorry I didn't find how to post xml data in the forum)
"my_product.dtd" is in the same directory than "my_tree.xml" (loaded in a buffer of jEdit), but the XML plugin don't look finding it. It give an error for all elements et attributes, like "Element root must be declared". It is like if it doesn't able to find my dtd: it's the same thing if I write anything else for the system ID (dtd name) in "my_tree.xml".
Pleaaaase, I need an answer...
Make a "juste install" package
Submitted by Marcogringo on Thursday, 21 October, 2004 - 07:51
Hi,
I have create an application wich is a script engine. So, a lot of users of my application will have to write scripts. My scripts are in xml format. So, I have test a lot of XML editors. JEdit (with the XML plugin, and some others) I the only one that is free and great. Know, I would give JEdit to the users, with my application, but I would like that the users juste have to install a "special package" of JEdit, with XML plugin, using the embeded sideKick xml tree browser. So, the user will not have to download the plugins, configure it, .... Is it allowed to do it ? And if yes, how can I do the package ?

Minor FRE - closing empty unnamed buffers
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 21 October, 2004 - 16:16
This is a minor thing, and not too much of a hassel to deal with, but it seems to me that if a buffer, which is untitled and zero size is closed, you should not be prompted to save. This is indeed how it works if the untitled buffer was never modified, but not how it works if the said buffer has ever changed.

For example. Open up a new buffer. Add some text. Delete all text. Close buffer. Now you are prompted about save, even though buffer is empty and unnamed.

This comes up frequently for me because I often use jEdit to do text manipulations for other programs (such as a the nice search/replace using regexp), or for deleting columns of text for another app, running a regexp search, etc.

pre13 version available?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 23 October, 2004 - 15:39
Is the 4.2 pre13 version available anywhere? It doesn't appear to be available on the jEdit download or Sourceforge pages. I'd like to download it in order to get the jEditLauncher inside it (no longer in the final 4.2 release).
How to change Ctrl+arrow behavior?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 24 October, 2004 - 10:52
In almost every text editor (even in Word), when I press ctrl+arrow, the caret moves to the next word. But jEdit goes to next "side of word". Little example:

Notepad caret stops:
|Strange |cater |behavior |in |jEdit

jEdit caret stops:
|Strange| |caret| |behavior| |in| |jEdit.

How can I change this?

A macro to remove or retain all lines that can find match with supplied regular expression (Retain_Or_Remove_Lines.bsh v1.0 by Jia Zhiming)
Submitted by jiazhimi on Tuesday, 26 October, 2004 - 03:03
Just supply a regular expression, then choose whether to retain or remove the lines that can find match with the regular expression. It will remove all lines that can not find match, or all lines can find a match. Hope you find it useful.

Mathematica Edit Mode (mathematica.xml v1.1 by Daniel Herring)
Submitted by nuntius on Tuesday, 26 October, 2004 - 21:57
A couple small improvements over the old version.
- Fixed handling of primes
- Proper highlighting of namespaces
Unix -> Dos ans Dos -> Unix file format conversions.
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 16:37
well this is it:
I work on a windows based machine that connects to a unix machine. I like Jedit very very much. but anything i write has to be sent to the unix machine to be compiled. and then run. but if i save anything in windows format then the unix compliler gets very stroppy.

so im stuck either using the vi editor (no thanks) over a terminal or some other fancy windows editor that lets me save to unix file format. BUT... i really really (perhaps love) jedit... so please put this in a plugin or the program!

thanks
Capitalizing First Letters
Submitted by ELApro on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 17:05
How can one write a macro to capitalize the first letter of each word? My current approach would be...

search for words with the regular expression...
([a-zA-Z0-9])([a-zA-Z0-9])+

but can a variable eg, firstLetter, be assigned to $1 so that I can set...

firstLetter.toUpperCase();
Timeline for updating plugins for Java 5: Tiger?
Submitted by Sawdusty on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 17:17
I've started developing in Tiger and am having troubles with a lot of my favourite JEdit plugins. JavaStyle crashes on generics, enums, and static imports. SideKick (using Jane) is not able to parse the structure of files containing Tiger structures. Dot Complete also seems to be confused on occasion, but not so often that it hinders my work.

I know that these and other Java-Centric plugins are going to require a major overhaul to include the new Tiger features. I was just wondering if there's any timeframe in mind for when they will be supported or partially supported.

Thanks,
Dusty
IncludesParser up for adoption
Submitted by Sawdusty on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 17:24
I am the original developer of the IncludesParser plugin for JEdit. I don't think its been overly popular, but I am no longer interested in maintaining it and would like to give it up for adoption to a caring (or even just interested) developer.

The current version available with JEdit is 0.4. I've rewritten it from scratch in a version 0.5 that never made it into the plugin manager, as it does not support the JEdit 4.2 plugin API. This new version fixes a bug that causes 0.4 to break under Windows, and contains much cleaner code. It is available from http://www.buchuki.com/software.html; I suggest it as a base for anybody wanting to adopt IncludesParser.

If anybody is interested in maintaining this plugin, feel free to contact me (dgp@buchuki.com).

Plugin Manager Problems on jEdit 4.2final
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 19:40
I have just downloaded and installed jEdit on a brand new machine. The Plugin Manager does not seem to be able to download the plugin list. It can get a list of 4 mirrors but will not allow you to change from the default. This is not my first time around the park with jEdit but it is my first time with a problem of any kind with the Plugin Manager.

I am not behind a firewall.

Operating System: WindowsXP Home Edition.
Java Version: 1.5

Any help will be greatly appreciated
