PHP edit mode (php.xml v2005-03-18 by blueyed)
Submitted by blueyed on Thursday, 30 December, 2004 - 05:19
Merged the version from Scott with the CVS version and wrote a PHP script to extract the functions, classes and aliases from php.net/zend.org automatically. Besides there are some more changes I've made with help from Scott regarding the handling of variables in literals and class variables/methods in general. A raw definition of token type usage:
  • FUNCTION: own functions
  • KEYWORD1: language constructs (__FILE__, break, extends, ..)
  • KEYWORD2: internal functions (PHP, xdebug, SimpleTest/PHPUnit), DTD tags
  • KEYWORD3: variable names (plus true, false, null)
  • KEYWORD4: class relevant things (definitions, methods, vars)
  • LITERAL1: literals
  • LITERAL2: HTML entities
  • COMMENT1: "#", "/* */"
  • COMMENT2: "//" and HTML comments
  • COMMENT3: PHPdoc

XML Plugin [HELP!]: "Not an XML File" Error"
Submitted by gravyak on Saturday, 1 January, 2005 - 18:45
I'm a noob on XML Plugin, and I can't seem to get it to work properly. I'm trying to write a Console/Commando xml file (started with a different, valid Commando XML file), but the "XML Insert" panes are empty (i.e., don't contain valid element lists), and functions of the XML Pluging like "Edit Tag at Caret..." return an error dialog titled, "Not an XML File". This is puzzling because I know that I have a well-formed XML file in the selected buffer, and it's in XML editing mode on the jEdit status bar.

I think I must be missing something very basic, because the plugin loads fine, but it seems simply non-functional for editing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Fortran 77/90/95 Syntax Highliting Improvement (fortran.xml v0.2 by Raffaele Borrelli)
Submitted by lello on Tuesday, 4 January, 2005 - 19:17
This file contains several improvements of the "very basic" Fortran mode which comes with jEdit. I have added all the new F90 intrinsic functions and used some SPAN_REGEXP for a correct highlighting of the END DO, END SUBROUTINE sequences. Hope this helps the (small?) Fortran community. Lello.
typing in action bar is invisible
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 4 January, 2005 - 20:24
I just started using jedit 4.2final and when I move to the action bar to type something it doesn't echo or appear on the screen, although the commands work. I tried using the utilities->global options->appearance to 'use jEdit text area colors in all' places but it didn't work and the typing is still invisible. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

SourceControl plugin 0.7 beta release (SourceControl_07.zip v0.7 by Mirco Bova)
Submitted by mirco.bova on Wednesday, 5 January, 2005 - 09:17
The 0.7 version of the SourceControl plugin features an embrional support for CVS. It also includes a number of bugfixes and improvements to perforce and VSS implementations from different authors. BR, Mirco
SourceControl
Submitted by mirco.bova on Wednesday, 5 January, 2005 - 09:32
The SourceControl plugin provides integration with source control systems, such as MS Visual Source Safe, Perforce and CVS. In time it will allow integration with a range of source control systems. At present just MS Visual Source Safe is supported. To add a new system just implement the SourceControlInterface.java interface and create an options panel for any settings required by the new system.
jEdit4.2final: "Restore previously open files on startup" doesn't work
Submitted by uln on Wednesday, 5 January, 2005 - 18:11
Because I have had version problems when installing XML plugin, I updated jEdit from 4.2pre9 to 4.2final.
I decided to update also Java VM form 1.4.2_03 to 1.4.2_06. Now "Restore previously open files on startup" doesn't work, although selected. A Bug? OR have I change another option, too?

Loss of indent when using shellscript mode
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 5 January, 2005 - 19:51
When using braced variable names on an indented line, entry of ${Varname} causes the line to lose it's indent. e.g. for Line in $(ls) do print ${Line} <- as soon as the opening brace is typed the line shifts back to column 0 done Any ideas on how to fix this??? TIA
Wrong glyphs for some unicode characters in Java
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 5 January, 2005 - 22:55
In Linux I use a customized keyboard mapping which gives me access to unicode characters I often need to type. But some of them, strangely, are wrongly displayed in jEdit. For example,
\u012b is displayed as \u03ef
\u016b as \u03fe
\u014d as \u03f2
\u0101 as \u03e0
\u0111 as \u01f0
\u0113 as \u03ba
etc
So for each of these cases I need a work-around by redefining the key that generates the wrong glyph with a shortcut to a macro which writes the correct character. For instance the shortcut Alt-a activates a bsh macro containing the line
textArea.setSelectedText("\u0101")
which prints "Ä?" (a macron) instead of \u3e0 which is Greek sampi!

I checked with other Java GUI apps having Unicode support (such as JabRef): the very same bug occurs again! So this must be a general Java bug (some mess in the Unicode tables?) Yet might it be possible to fix this in a future version of jEdit by somehow circumventing this mess through an appropriate patch? Sorry if I can't help much myself, as I am not a Java programmer.

Any idea?

Thanks,
François

PS: I run J2RE 1.5.0_01-b08 on Linux. The problem also occurs with J2RE 1.4.2_06-b03.

Copy Text selection to Clipboard
Submitted by bz3p19 on Thursday, 6 January, 2005 - 15:18
Hi,

I think it would be pretty cool to have a setting where you can enable all text selected to be automatically put into the clipboard, similar to Putty funcionality.

Thanks,
James
jEdit stopped working?
Submitted by webengr on Thursday, 6 January, 2005 - 20:12
It is definitely something that I did, but I cannot determine what. I had jEdit 4.2 final working with jdk1.5.0 on a Windows 2000SP4 machine (IBM T30). I updated to jdk1.5.0_01 and jEdit was still working (meaning that it launched and everything worked fine, plugins included).

I did some work on my cygwin environment (installs, updates, etc) and then when I tried to launch jEdit, nothing happened.

Now when I say "nothing happened," I mean just that. Instead of using "javaw.exe", I tried launching from the command line, like:

C:\jedit42>java -version
java version "1.4.2_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode)

C:\jedit42>java -verbose -jar jedit.jar

[whole lotta output omitted]

[Loaded org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFSManager]
[Loaded org.gjt.sp.jedit.JARClassLoader]
[Loaded org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFS]

[Loaded org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.UrlVFS]
[Loaded gnu.regexp.REException]
[Loaded org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFS$DirectoryEntry]

[Loaded javax.swing.ListModel from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\lib\rt.jar]
[Loaded org.gjt.sp.util.Log$LogListModel]

[more output omitted]

and I saw everything load, no error messages, and then nothing more.

I have completely uninstalled/re-installed jEdit and my java environment, and now I am at java 1.4.2_06, but the same problem exists. And all throughout this, I can launch any other jar file, such as batik.jar or the jedit java installer. So it looks like this is something specific to jedit.jar (and I have a couple of different versions, all of which have the same behavior).

This isn't a bug, because it was working just fine before something in the environment changed. I'm stumped. Any clues or hints about this?
