> pdflatex -c-style-errors '/home/amigo/Documents/p2/master.tex'
Working directory is /home/amigo/Documents/p2
/usr/bin/pdflatex: unrecognized option `-c-style-errors'
Try `/usr/bin/pdflatex --help' for more information.

LaTeX mode (latex.xml v1.1 by Thomas Alspaugh)
Submitted by alspaugh on Wednesday, 24 March, 2004 - 12:21
Highlights all environments, commands, and counters from Lamport's LaTeX2e and some of amstex and other popular packages. The five principal modes (normal, math, tabbing, tabular, and picture) are distinguished, mode transitions handled, and each mode's commands highlighted separately. Approximately 970 items are covered.
Console Plugin window layout
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 24 March, 2004 - 15:01
I use the console plugin a lot for Ant and (on windows machines at work) for the System shell.

Sadly, it seems there's no way to move the shell selection widget and edit box (for typing commands) to the bottom of the window where it belongs IMO. This means your eyes are constantly hopping from the top of the screen to see what you're typing, to the bottom to see the output and it's quite uncomfortable. With the toolbar at the bottom, it would also be more in line with true console / terminal input and the style of most IRC / chat clients.

Any chance of moving it by default, or being given the option of where to place it?

All the best!
Missing Mac OS Plugin?
Submitted by OceanEric on Thursday, 25 March, 2004 - 19:18
Hi!
I am new to jEdit and XML, and when launching the editor, I keep getting the following message: "Mac OS Plugin requires a newer version of Java (MRJ 99.0)."
I've been searching for some time now but without any success.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

Installing jEdit for ALL users under XP
Submitted by thammr on Friday, 26 March, 2004 - 03:51
I know its a stupid question but I can't find the answer.

How do I install jEdit on XP for ALL users?

I installed jEdit on XP as administrator.

Normal users have "Open with jEdit" on the context menu but jEdit won't run.

This is what I have tried:

a) Installing jEditLauncher as user

Run jEdit.exe, say yes to install jEditLauncher, point at my java executable

Result ==> "JEdit.JEditLauncher - The system cannot find the file specified."

b) User reinstalls jEdit himself.

Install appears to complete OK.

Result ==> Still no Start Menu Entry, no shortcut on desktop, no jEditLauncher, no GO

c) set jedit parameters (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=718007)

I didn't try this because I have no idea what it means.

d) Run jEdit.jar

This works but the context menus still don't work. Since I almost always launch jEdit
from the context menus, this is not really satisfactory.

e) Manually edit registry

Logon as Administrator, run RegEdit, export HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/www.jedit.org =>jedit.reg
Logon as unprivileged user, run Regedit import jedit.reg into HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software

This appears to work. But users shouldn't have to edit the registry.

thanks

VIMOutliner like solution

Has anyone built outliner functionality into jEdit - something like VimOutliner is for VI? It's pretty nifty.
Where do I put the SQL Files...
Submitted by Gary Furash on Friday, 26 March, 2004 - 14:31
I'm sure this is obvious, but...
When I'm making the XML file for configuring my data sources for SQL plugins, where do I store it (the directory) and what should I call the file (something.xml). Should I have a separate xml file for each data source?
JDiff Plugin 1.3.2 is broken; how do I get 1.4.2 to work?
Submitted by Champ on Saturday, 27 March, 2004 - 23:52
Having upgraded from 4.2pre9 with JDiff 1.3.1 plug-in (on Windows), I was disappointed that 4.2pre11 with JDiff 1.3.2 does not work (error shows Beanshell stack trace) Sadly, I could not find 1.3.1 anymore to revert this upgrade!

I have since discovered JDiff 1.4.2 (plug-in) upgrade but cannot seem to plug this in manually either under the program directory or my user settings. The Plugin manager still shows 1.3.2 even after removing and re-installing!!

I am obviously missing something but upgrading should surely not be so obscure!

TIA anyone? Alan
Shell integration problems
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 28 March, 2004 - 21:00
Hi,

I'm using jEdit on windows and it has the right click shell integration when I right click on a file it will have the "open with jedit" and "open .[ext] with jedit" options on the menu that pops up. I am trying to remove this feature b/c it clutters up my menu. I couldn't find anywhere to disable this feature. Does someone know how to do this?
Thanks,
sak

xml plugin + large xml file = out of memory errors
Submitted by nexus on Monday, 29 March, 2004 - 05:11
I get this : [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError When opening a large xml file. I am assuming that its the xml plugin (version 0.13) or possibly the xslt plugin (version 0.5.3). I also get it when i start jedit, and the file has previously been opened (so its trying to open it again). So i have to fix it by editing "perspective.xml", removing the largeXMLFile.xml element and changing the X and Y attribute in the GEOMETRY element. Any Ideas? I am going to maybe look around, see if i can change the amount of memory java gives jedit when i start it, maybe that'll fix it >Cool
Upgrade not upgrading
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 29 March, 2004 - 22:31
I have upgraded from 4.1 final to 4.2pre8 and later 4.2pre11. It seems like it is somewhat upgraded because the plugins seem to load on demand and not at startup. However some plugins fail saying "xxx plugin requires 4.2pre x and you have version 4.1 final". This is under XP pro. I have tried installing clean in a new directory as well as installing on top of the previous installation. I have also tried removing the user settings and letting it rebuild them also. Do I need to fake out the registry? Any other ideas?
Jython Macro debug mode (how to set options!)
Submitted by WGW on Tuesday, 30 March, 2004 - 04:43
I have been trying to write jython macros. One thing I have not understood properly is whether there is a macro debug mode for jython macros. I can't seem to find any documentation on it. I did find the options file, with the following entry.

options.jython.python.verbose.values=debug comment message warning error


But I'm not sure what to do with it (I'm assuming I should put it in the properties file.)

Should I put it in as is? Will it allow macro debugging?

Many questions!
HTML Syntax Highlighting

Thanks in advance
GUIUtilities.loadToolBar() change in JEdit 4.2 pre?
Submitted by beffy on Tuesday, 30 March, 2004 - 12:35
Hi there,
I tried to update a little plugin I wrote to JEdit 4.2. pre 11, but I am stuck updating my plugin toolbar...
in JEdit 4.1. final I am using
JToolBar toolbar = GUIUtilities.loadToolBar("tidedebug.toolbar");
Then I am iterating over the components to get my buttons and that's basically it...

start = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(0);
pause = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(1);
stop = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(2);
stepInto = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(4);
stepOver = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(5);
runToCursor = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(6);
stepOut = (JButton) toolbar.getComponentAtIndex(7);

But, in 4.2., this doesnt work anymore since now I get a Box back from this method:

Box toolbar = GUIUtilities.loadToolBar("tidedebug.toolbar");

I've tried to simply create new Buttons like this:

if(toolbar != null)
{
try
{
start = new JButton();
pause = new JButton();

etc., then setting Icons, ToolTipsTexts, adding ActionHandlers for every button, etc. but while the buttons are being rendered now, I'm still getting weird NullPointerExceptions all over the place and I'm not sure why... is there any other way doing this?
Or what is the recommended way now to add a Toolbar with usable buttons? And why was this changed?

Thanks for any advice!
best regards,
beffy
IntelliWrap (IntelliWrap.bsh v0.3 by Shoban Jayaraj)
Submitted by shoban on Tuesday, 30 March, 2004 - 14:41
Given a selected text, tries to wrap the selected text based on prefix strings. Great when adding multi-line comment text that needs to be prefixed with special characters. I wrote it to emulate EMACS 'fill-paragraph' so that comments can be wrapped so as to not exceed a fixed limit.

Can also be used for non-programatical tasks like prefixing replied mail text with '>' etc.

Version 0.3 takes the selection properly into consideration
Version 0.2 incorporates the GPL header to the macro.

import text file at cursor location
Submitted by mbl on Tuesday, 30 March, 2004 - 21:00
Dear friends,

Have been using Jedit for a few days, and do like it a lot.

As of yet, however, can't seem to find a way to import complete short text files at the cursor location. These would be typical brief code files or skeletons, or comment files, located at some directory, usually not the current directory.

If it's not possible, would also appreciate to know that, so as not to keep trying to find the feature.

Opening a file to Copy-and-Paste is what am doing, but is somewhat cumbersome when one wants the complete short file inserted at the cursor location.

Thanks for any help afforded.

BibTeX mode bug fixes (bibtex.xml v1.1 by Thomas Alspaugh)

XML Folding
Submitted by bz3p19 on Wednesday, 31 March, 2004 - 13:03
Hi.

I'm not sure if this is new or not, but how about XML folding... If it can be done already (and I've searched), please let me know how...

It would be really decent to be able to fold the tags. I'm convincing the people at work to start using jEdit, and this feature will really start the ball rolling.

Thanks.
