Hey - I use jEdit as my primary editor (I'm a recent convert), and I love it to bits. There hasn't been a single feature that I've needed that I couldn't find in the core application or in a plugin, and it runs remarkably well, for a Java program.

I've been wondering if there's any way to make jEdit the default application for opening a whole bunch of file types, on my Windows machine, without having to do it manually or write a program for it - having to do it one file type at a time would become painfully tedious.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I recently discovered jEdit as a great Editor for LaTEX.
Now I have a few suggestions/questions:

1. It would be great if something like preview-latex ( http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net ) could be integrated. It allows something like a real-time preview of images, captions, etc...

2. For Emacs there's a mode called unclutter.el ( http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~ums/#Emacs ), with which you can show/hide all LaTEX-specific tags (like {footnote}, {section}, etc.) with one key to see plain text. If you hover the mouse over it, you see the code in full. This would be such a great feature....

3. Is there a tutorial how to customize the latex.xml concerning syntax-highlighting?

Thanks for your answers,

I've just recently started using JEdit.
How can I assign a file extension to a specific syntax highlighting scheme?
For example, I would like to associate *.dsm files to vbscript syntax highlighting (in addition to the default *.vbs).
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
hopia

Does anyone know of a way to beautify/format the following code using a search/replace with a regular expression?

I'd like to format the code from this:

set north [lindex $string_list 0]
set east [lindex $string_list 1]
set elevation [lindex $string_list 2]
set arsenic [lindex $string_list 3]
set sulph [lindex $string_list 4]

to this:

set north [lindex $string_list 0]
set east [lindex $string_list 1]
set elevation [lindex $string_list 2]
set arsenic [lindex $string_list 3]
set sulph [lindex $string_list 4]

In other words, I'd like the different parts each line of the code block to line up vertically.

Thanks for any insight.

To get plugin AntFarm to work in jEdit 4.2pre11. 1. Download and build from jEdit cvs. 2. Download ANT 1.5 from Apache 2a Copy /lib/ant.jar to /jars 2b Copy /lib/optional.jar to /jars 2c Rename /jars/optional.jar to /jars/ant-optional.jar Note: AntFarm does not support ANT 1.6, is the an update underway from this cool tool?

Hello...I'm new to jEdit but really enjoying it. For school I do a lot of work on a remote server, and while I like using the FTP plugin to directly edit these files, I'd also like to have jEdit automatically backup to my workstation (the school server is notoriously unreliable). I set in the global options for jEdit to automatically backup upon every save to a specified backup directory on my local machine, but it doesn't seem to be working for files opened with the FTP plugin. Am I missing something? It's also not creating the directory on the remote server, as far as I can tell. Thanks!

Hi All,

jEdit has worked well so far for me, but there's a problem I've recently noticed. When I try to enter Spanish characters such as ñ, accented characters such as áéíóú, or inverse question/exclamation marks, it replaces them with squares. Changing the font doesn't do anything.

I'm running jEdit 4.1final, j2sdk-1.4.2.04, and XFree86 4. Also, I use xmodmap's 'questiondown' 'exclaimdown' and 'dead_acute' maps, although this is irrelevant, as emacs (and the console 'nano') uses these characters fine.

I don't speak spanish, but I'm learning how to, so it's not a massive concern /just yet/...

Please, help me. I have downloaded both versions of jEdit 4.1 and jEdit 4.2pre11, but can't install it.

How can I install jEdit? I'm the newbie in Java and I don't know how to work with it.

I am trying to edit the default.ini for dues ex 2, but I can't seam to get anything but a beep when I try to edit it. I know I'm a rookie but the last time I edited something like this I was able to use notepad. Unfortunately this one will not let me change anything through notepad. So I guess what I'm looking for is basic jedit instructions to change a few values ( like 1.25 to 0.0 or .75 to 4.75). I tried reading the help file but I am not a programmer, so I don't understand half of what its telling me to do.
thanks, the newbie

Hi Guys i was wondering, if someone could tell me where to get the iconpack from the screenshot page, the first shot in the windows section.

Hi!

Where can I turn off?

Thx,

I have JEdit 4.1 here on Windows XP and would like to use CodeAid for code completion when editing Java source files. I am not sure how to set up a libary with Jane so that the SUN SDK/JRE API is known to CodeAid.
I have set up one library named jsdk14 with Jane with the following paths:
Source Path: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.1_01\src.zip
Class Path: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre\lib\rt.jar
Doc Path: D:\docs\Java\j2sdk1.4.1\docs\api

Unfornunately the documentation is not very detailed about what for instance is the right thing (directory or index.html or ?) to point the doc path to.

When I now try a simple Java program like

public class Test20040405 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String s = "Kibology for all.";
System.out.println(s.

and select Plugins->CodeAid->Complete I get a dialog window with a BeanShell error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any hints on what could be wrong and how to properly set up Jane with a library so that the SUN JDK/JRE classes are known to CodeAid for code completion are appreciated.

I really liked the syntax highlighting for java in JEdit 4.1. Version 4.2 seems to be a lot more colorful and I just cant get use to it. Is there an easy option to turn 4.2 highlighting to look like 4.1? I tried using global options but I just cant get it right.

Thanks,

It'd be really nice if a future version of jedit incorporated the 'auto-reload' feature found in e.g. textpad. I've found this really useful as a poor man's tail -f substitute.

Hi-

Could Saxan support be added to the XSLT plugin? Currently, the XSLT plugin cannot support XSLT 2.0 b/c it is not using a 2.0 transform engine.

Anyone else out there itching to get XSLT 2.0 working via JEdit?

Thanks,

(Note - I posted this to some other forum/mailing list, but I've lost track of my earlier post...)

I'm using jedit to edit files for languages not predefined in jedit (FlagShip and xHarbour).

I would like to put two things working for this two languages (without developing new plugins): code completion and something like Delphi and VB IDE's do, showing a ballon with the parameters of the function i'm writing at that moment.

Is there any way to put jedit making these two things. For what I saw, only with better known languages as C and JAVA.

Thanks
