I have a Unix file system that I exposed to my Windows machine using Samba. The problem is that "File System Browser" in JEdit seems to take a very long time (~30 sec) to load the directory listing from this mounted drive. Using windows explorer I can load the same directory listing in about 3 sec (10 times faster). The directory has about 130 files.

I assume that JEdit is doing some type of query on a pre file basis to gather more info about the file before showing the list in the "File System Browser"??

Any idea what might be causing this and is there is a way to speed this up?

Hi. I'm having trouble with the look and feel options. jEdit comes with 3 default L&Fs: Metal, Motif and Windows, but whenever I change it, it is completely ignored, and I can only get the Metal look. I've tried installing the LookAndFeel plugin, but only two worked: Kunststoff and Metouia. The others, Skin and Oyoaha say there are some missing (nameless) files.

Is there a way to make these work? How about the Windows look?

I have the problem both under Windows (XP) and Linux (SuSE 9).

I miss some feature of HomeSite - "html table generator". It is button,.. when used, I can "draw" table, set aligning, spacing etc. Then it generates XHTML code to current buffer. Really helpfull feature

Trying to write a macro for removing empty lines I found that the beanshell interpreter breaks on the regular expression definition
String blankLine = new String("^\s$");
This is very annoying because working with regular expressions without backslash is simply impossible.
Error reads:
Sourced file: /home/kister/.jedit/macros/Shrink_Blank_Lines.bsh Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 18, column 41. Encountered: "\\" (92), after : "\'^":
Versions are: jedit 4.2 final on Linux and Blackdown JDK 1.4.1
Any help would be highly recommended.

I would really appreciate plug-in, that would show all classes etc in CSS files (something like CodeBrowser in PHP)

Thanx

Hi

I was wondering if there is any way to debug plugins inside jEdit.

Hello, often i have to share text files between linux & Windows. How can i change the 0x03 Byte at the end of Windows Text to something ? Thanks horst.

I was just playing around with the "Editor Scheme Selector" pluging and accidently change my scheme color. Now i can't get the colors that i had set up for syntax highlighting. I mainly use jEdit for PHP and CSS. Does anyone have a screenshot of their PHP syntax highlight colors that i can use to reference?

Is it necessary to have a DTD in order to get the tag completion feature in the XML plugin to work? In version 3.x of jEdit, this wasn't necessary, but it apparently is is the current version.
I've done a clean install of 4.2 and all the required plugins.
Thanks.

Hi, (sorry for my English, i am Czech)

Please, help me. Thank you, very match. Tom.

I am using jEdit to try to write in java and when I try to enter int then as soon as I type the space the 'int' disappears and is replaced by this character ∫

It's really not much of a problem but does anybody know why?

Thanks,

Hello. I'm new to JEdit (and Java) and I've found an annoyance in the way JEdit treats my programming style. It seams that everybody except I writes "obj.method/params)". I write "obj.method (params)" (note the space between "method" and "(". Well, because of that, JEdit doesn't mark my method calls like so. I took a look on the Java mode file and discovered that the way JEdit highlights methods won't work for me because it uses (I think): ( But the space I put before "(" breaks this, because it separates the tokens. Is there a way to avoid this problem besides changing my style? Am I the only sole with this style???? Thanks. Filipe Martins filipe.martins at free-spy.net

From the Forums page, I clicked on the "Installing jEdit" link. Instead of the desired page, I was presented with the following message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 191 bytes) in /home/groups/j/je/jedit-community/htdocs/includes/module.inc on line 57

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

Refreshing reloaded the page correctly.

I have encountered this problem previously on this website.

I was hoping someone could clarify exactly what the Edit Server in jEdit does? I really don't fancy reading through all of the source code to find out (and the documentation doesn't say what its functionality is actually for).

I am toying with the idea of making it possible to have the same files open for editing on multiple computers simultaneously so that multiple people can edit e.g. a java project at the same time (and with further plugins/ third party software can actually easily communicate and actually work together on file(s) without the bottle neck of only one keyboard and cursor!). I'm just wondering if the Edit Server may have much (or atleast some) of the work already done for me.

Any insight would be appreciated...

In jEdit v4.1, every time I opened a subsequent file using right-click on the file, it would open in the existing instance of jEdit. jEdit v4.2 starts a new instance for each one, forcing me to Alt+Tab back and forth. How do I get jEdit v4.2 to open multiple files in the same instance?

Hi folks,

I've been looking all over the configurations available in jEdit, but I couldn't find one to enable "Buffer Tab".
I really like to have my jEdit looks like this (just the buffer tab part):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have updated my information page on setting up usb devices to work with jEdit under Windows.

Thanks to a friend at school for pointing out how to properly set the 'cnfg' variable found on in the tutorial.

I tried searching the forum but searching for ._ isn't that successful.

Sometimes when I'm editing files, some sort of tmp file is left behind. For example, Foo.java and ._Foo.java

The ._ file isn't a copy of the original, it's always 82 bytes of non-visible text. I know this isn't my autobackup because it's not a copy of the file and I have my auto-backup set to go to a specific directory on my hard drive.

Any suggestions are welcome because those extra files keep messing with my source code repository operations.

Thanks!

Hope someone can help me with the following problem.
I installed the lilypond plugin.
Plugins > LilyTool.
When I say > Run Lilypond: I get the message:
Error running external command.
Please ensure that bash path is set up correctly in Plugins>PluginOptions>LilyTool.

question: where is my path?
jEdit is in: C:/Program Files/jEdit.
LilyPond 2.2.5. is in: C:/cygwin/usr/src/lilypond-2.2.5

I am puzzled.
thanks

John
