I am using jedit 4.2pre14 on a Fedora Core 2 (Linux) machine with java version:
java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)

In JDK 1.4.2 sun introduced a GTK look and feel (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/swing/1.4/Post1.4.html) that I would like jedit to use. The problem is that it dosn't show up in the interface section of the global options. Running jedit with the
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
option still didn't make it work. I also made sure I was using a supported gtk theme and did not see any relevant output of errors or things of the sort (I did see output of errors about some plugins, but I believe that is unrelated).
Jedit continues to run fine, but insists on using the Metal L&F.

Any help would be appriciated!

The tag autocomplete feature for PHP and HTML is great.
One thing though! Completion of valid DOCTYPES would be good.

JEdit is a fantastic program, just what I have been looking for!

The new homepage's look n feel out-rocks the previous one.

One peeve though - I liked seeing the latest news on the splash page.

Like when new dot releases are announced.

Could we have that back?

I hereforth propose that there be-eth a way to search recently open'd files.

Oftentimes we open and close files and afterwards wastefully rummage through our
memories and Recent Files lists to recall from whence those files came.

This post requests that recently opened files be searchable, as are visited URLs in web browsers; for example, Ctl-H in Mozilla or IE.

To further burnish the feature, throw in a way to view the dates/timestamps the files were visited. This way Jack can think/do: "Hmm.. I opened file 'earwig.xml' yesterday" then scroll to the files from yesterday and conveniently open earwig without taxing his brain.

Thanks,
Paul

One often needs to enter a uppercase word in TEXT.
For let's say 20 chars you don't touch caps-lock and do it via shift.
However if one does a typo, it's usual or simple to use Shift-BS to correct that.

Shift-BS is not recognized as Backspace. This would be nice.

Hey there,

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but i've spent several hours looking and have not found anything.

My question is: is there some plugin/way to hack dotcomplete to work with other languages other than java? I got CodeBrowser working just fine with CTAGs and it's great in that respect. It does exactly what i want for my C source/header files.

What i would love to do is have an autocomplete and dot syntax that used that ctags information to aid in code writing while editing an actual file, instead of having to open the code browser and then saying insert.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with jEdit?

Thanks

Brent.

hi,
How do i write up a plugin that can be loaded or unloaded without restarting jedit?

myPlugin.java has the following code
public class myPlugin extends
{
public void createMenuItems(Vector menuItems)
{
menuItems.addElement(GUIUtilities.loadMenuItem("myPlugin"));
}
}

Thanks,

Hi,
How do i listen to events such as: what project is selected or what java file is selected using the services of project viewer from with my plugin. i have set the properties file already (plugin.jplant2.jplant2Plugin.depend.1=plugin projectviewer.ProjectPlugin 2.0.2). What else do i need to do?

Thanks.

hi,

i get squares instead of special characteres typed.
the problem does not come from java because eclipse works.
i've tried a lot of differents charactere encoding configuration with no results.

thanks

public class jplant2Plugin extends EBPlugin
{

public void createMenuItems(Vector menuItems)
{

JMenuItem menu=GUIUtilities.loadMenu("jplant2");
menuItems.addElement(menu);

}

public void handleMessage(EBMessage message)
{
//JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane (message.toString(),JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
//pane.show();
System.out.println ("handlerm");

}

I tried to open a 6.1GB file, and it fails with heap warning.
I already increased heap size up to 20 and 30 GB, but it still fails to open.
I'm using a sun blade 2000 with 6GB RAM and solaris 9.
Java runtime build 1.4.0_00-b05.
How can I open this file?
Is it possible to decrease the amount of memory JEDIT uses ? (currently its more than double the file I open).

Hi, up until this week I had jEdit configured to allow the use of the side mouse buttons on my mouse (MS Intellimouse) to do copy (left side button) and paste (right side button). This has grown into something I can't live without
Last week windows update screwed up my machine and I had to reinstall windows. I can't figure out how to configure this same behavior anymore, I did it so long ago I can't remember...can anybody PLEASE help?!? I'm going crazy...

I've always used the jEdit launcher to execute jEdit in the past (winXP pro). However, since this is no longer supported, I've had to find other means.

I've tried, from the run menu: java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar

But it closes as soon as it starts.

I've tried creating a "shortcut" that runs java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar, but I get the "dos" console running in the background, taking up valuable tasbar space.

And, running java -jar d:\jedit\jedit from my "dos prompt" runs it fine, but again, I'm left with the console taking up space.

Is there a way to run jEdit so that I only have the jedit window up, and none of these others? Thanks.
