Hi All!
I'm currently developing a plugin and i've reached a point where I've to display error messages.
I've done a bit of reasearch and I guess that the ErrorList plugin does the job.
Unfortunately I did not find any documentation on how to use this plugin.

Does anybody know the meanings of the parameters of the constructor:
errorlist.DefaultErrorSource.DefaultError(ErrorSource arg0, int arg1, String arg2, int arg3, int arg4, int arg5, String arg6)?

PS: I'm currently developing my plugin under jEdit 4.1 and plan to migrate to 4.2 later on, so I'm using version 1.2.3 of ErrorList.

I am thinking (dreaming?) of a plug-in that is somewhat like an outliner. Initially it might look a bit like this:

- keeps its own tree-like representation in memory
- tree-like view on left
- fast keyboard navigation (up, down, etc.) of tree
- fast keyboard manipulation of tree (move sub-trees around)
- based on which tree node is in focus
- corresponding set of nodes displayed on right side
e.g. like sticky notes
- xml format for nodes and their contents
- styled text for nodes and their contents (via some 'styling')
- some node sub-content will be code, using code-formatting
- some subtrees/nodes can be viewed as visual graphs
- option to invoke graphviz to generate graphs
- graphs presented on right hand pane

I don't know much about the plug-in architecture. Is this doable? Already done? What other things should I be looking at?

Thanks!

If I have:

<product> Cereal ....etc. </product>

and I fold it, I get:

<product> [26 lines]
</product>

It is possible to get something like:

<product>Cereal...[26 lines]

1. Don't show the end tag, it adds no information: more space efficient

2. Do show the 1st line of element/attribute content: "outline" readable when folded

Thanks!

What kind of integration is available / possible between Jedit and debuggers? I am looking for things like break-points, stepping, inspecting, etc.

Any plug-ins to make this easy?

Languages: Ruby, Java, Python.

Hi,

I would like to have an abbreviation that includes an apostrophe, such as "are'nt", which is to be replaced with the correct spelling of "aren't" upon expansion.

The problem is that the abbreviation engine does not seem to recognise apostrophes (in abbreviations, not expansions). I've tried escaping them as such; "\'", but that also does not work.

If there is a workaround for this, I'll be able to have jEdit autocorrect common spelling mistakes, and I'll post up my abbrev file for everyone's benefit. If not, I guess this will have to go in the Feature Requests forum.

Many thanks,
Mohammed.

Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple startup script that displays the actionbar and returns focus to the current buffer. The following code does this:

jEdit.getActiveView().actionBar();
textArea.requestFocus();

However, I can't seem to get it to execute at the right moment. I've tried a variety of ways, waiting for the view to be initialised, waiting for the buffer to load, etc., but none of it seems to work correctly.

Much appreciated,
Mohammed.

This could well be user error, which is why I am not using the "Report a Bug" link.

I am editing an XML schema in jEdit 4.2pre11, using XMLPlugin 0.13 (plus its required companions), running on JDK 1.4.2_04/Win2K. No matter what I do, I get this error in the Error List:

   cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xs:schema'.

The XML Insert pane shows the proper tags available, so jEdit did find a schema somewhere. Also, the target file does validate against my schema. Using "Edit tag at caret" to edit the <xs:schema> tag brings up the expected dialog box, BUT it also deletes the namespace binding for the "xs:" prefix.

I could be doing something wrong, but I didn't find any clues in the plugin documentation. Here is what my schema looks like at the moment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element ...>
    etc...
</xs:schema>

I have tried several permutations with various attributes for <xs:schema>, but I don't think that is the root cause. Any hints?

Hello. My name is Scott Vinkle and I would like to submit a website button. I actually only started using jEdit a few weeks ago, but since then I've realized that I've missed out on a whole lot while using other editors. I think jEdit is amazing because it can be used on any platform, it's open source, and it's so customizable.
Anywho, my button is 88x31 in size, PNG format, and I created it with The Gimp 2.0. I think it looks neat because I used a Star Wars font and it looks like the text "jedi" from Return of the Jedi, but with a T on the end.
Here is the URL to my button: http://tuxinator.homelinux.com/images/jedit_button.png.
Thank you for considering my website button for submission to the wonderful jEdit community!

Hi All,

Background:
I have been using jEdit for a few months and just starting to play with the Macros. I am ultimatly trying to change the permissions of a file and to edit a line of code. I use source safe and a local enviornment and have to modify a struts config file, which is read only until checked out. To make my life simple, I want to remove the read only attribute and find my DB reference line and change it to my local DB.

My problem:
I can change the attribs easily enough with
runCommandInConsole(view,"System","attrib amp-config.xml -r");

But I now need to load the file. I am not sure how I would load it into the buffer so I can see and manipulate it.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks
Tom

I'm a newbie user of Jedit (3 days).

I noticed in some of the screen shots, on the www.jedit.org page, that vertical lines connected curly braces. However, my installed version of Jedit does not have this behavior.

How is that option set?

Thanks

Hey, all. I'm a huge jEdit fan, and have been using it for a while on my mac (running Panther, 10.3.3), but I've recently upgraded to the 4.2pres, only to find that jEdit no longer responds to shortcuts involving the option (alt) key, even simple ones built into the OS, like option-forward to go forward one word, or option-delete to delete word. I saw the changelog about remapping of keys on OS X, but is there any way to make these shortcuts work? They're standard in nigh every other application on OS X, and it's rather difficult to get used to working without them.

Hi,
A feature to cycle back through the buffer history of recently edited files would be great.
e.g. ultra-edit,ms visual studio, komodo etc. hold down ctrl and press tab repeatedly to cycle back through most recently edited files.
e.g. alt-tab in windows to cycle to most recently used application.
Thanks
Michael

It would be nice to be able to specify directory locations for modes in the catalog file.

For example I need something like this:

<MODE NAME="interchange" FILE="interchange.xml"
FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.*"
DIRECTORY_NAME_GLOB="S:\*" />

This would instruct JEdit that all files in the directory S:\ and subdirectories thereof should use the interchange format mode.

In this example it would be used for specifying an Interchange shopping cart catalog location. Files used by Interchange can have any number of extensions including .html, .cfg, etc. They are always confined to a specific location so that is where the additional specifier would come in handy.

Thank you for making such a great editor!

I need to process long lists of index records (many thousands of entries), to convert from a format prepared for print publication to a database-oriented format. Specifically, where the first word(s) in a record is repeated in the following record the repetition is implied by indentation (effectively whitespace). For example:

Abadham, Harvey v. H65/24
Abarrow, Radford v. R23/47
Abbes, Claxton v. C129/19
...Kinwellmarsh v. K26/98
...Parmenter v. P40/32
Abbey, Clarke v. C114/23
...Harrison Kt. v. H95/24
...Snawsdale v. S49/3
...Tooker v. T19/22,61/127
Abbott, Antram v. A8/41
...Ashton v. A7/55
...Bacon v. B44/22
...Ballard v. B110/40
...Kt., Barnes v. B12/64
...Battersby v. B135/12

["..." = whitespace]

I can find and replace the "indent" by the required string OK, using a tagged regex string to search. But after the replace is done, the search stops and I need to click the replace button again to do the next replacement; "replace all" doesn't seem to work (maybe because the search string value is dynamic??).

I have a lot of this type of work to do, and was trying to avoid having to write code - and the approach seems almost to work, if I didn't have the problem that the search stops. I have also tried TextPad, which has the same problem, and it appears that Ultraedit will be the same.

Any ideas?
