bumpyCaps are a very common convention for variable names etc. It would be cool if jEdit offered the option of separating words based on capitalization as well. "bumpyCaps" would then be two words.

If implemented, this option should probably be relative to the edit mode and, of course, optional.

Hi,
I want to
1) reorganize the root menu that all views see in my jEdit instance.
Or, at the very least,
2) add new root menus.

Is there a standard way to do this without re-building the jar file? I think the most extensible approach to #2 would be to install a user space actions.xml. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a sanctioned way to do #1?

I could also see doing it in code using statements such as
view.getJMenuBar().add(new JMenu(...));
but presumably I should do this as a plugin and respond to edit bus messages so that new views also get the new menus, and I should use the actions API so that actions get installed and called.
It seems like a lot of work -- I would imagine that someone has a document or test case that shows the steps. Does anyone have any pointers in this direction?

Thanks!
Laramie

Hi there!
Is there any way how to make jEdit to copy a whole line on Ctrl+C when no text is selected?
Thanx!

Doesn't seem to be working at all. Just outputs a command line to the JDoc window in the plugin but doesn't seem to act on the command line. No error messages outputted.

Also the commandline has a trailing @ in front of the filenames to be javadoc'd.

Any ideas?

How do I turn off auto-indent? Or better yet just stop it reindenting a line after the fact (except when there is nothing on the line to begin with).

Specifically, I'm coding in ruby right now which only occasionally uses {}, but almost invariably does something I don't want as soon as I type "{". I don't ever want it to reindent a line when I type "{". I do want it to indent on lines a "{". I do want it to unindent on an empty line when I type "}".

If I can't get good behavior, I would rather just turn off auto-indent.

I just downloaded 4.3pre2 and am still having indent problems (as I always have, but it is more pronouced in Ruby code).

My friends are making a live Linux distro for our faculty, and they need a good universal programming editor that is not too heavy for live distro. So I recommended jEdit with several plugins as a good choice. My friends are now fascinated with jEdit and it will be a default editor of new distro and a lot of students will use the best editor ever made.

Hi there,
some of my php files don't get parsed by sidekick/phpparser.
Are there any rules I have to follow when writing php code to get it parsed?

Thanx,

Hi,

On my belgian keyboard, I normaly have to use the <alt-gr>+µ key combinaison to get the backquote character (`). But I can't get it with jEdit... So I can't accentuate capital letters (ÀÈÌ...) nor backquote field names in MySQL queries. The only solution I found is to cut and paste these characters from another application: painful!

Any way to solve this problem?

OS: WinXPproSP2
jEdit: 4.2

Hi,

just to say that jEdit is the best editor I've ever used;
the plugins are also very helpful.
It's great to see the power of java.


jEdit's adorer

Hey,

I'm not having any luck installing or compiling jEdit with FC4 Test 1 (3.90) on amd x86_64. I tried the development and stable versions, but both had the same errors. I also tried installing the packages from JPackage, but I got the same errors.

I'm using:

java version 1.4.2
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.0 20050405 (Red Hat 4.0.0-0.40)


When launching, I get:

The list goes on... 8 errors, 40-some warnings. The src rpm from JPackage yielded similiar results.

Any ideas on how to get it working?


Thanks in advance!

Hallo All,

with my german keyboard, the shortcut for abbrevations (Control + SEMICOLON) doesn't function.
Trying abbrevations from within the menu, there's no problem.

So any hints, where i can change the shortcut for abbrevations ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Just installed jEdit 4.2:
[message] Log: java.version=1.4.2_05
[message] Log: java.vm.version=1.4.2_05-b04
[message] Log: java.runtime.version=1.4.2_05-b04
[notice] jEdit: jEdit version 4.2final

And also CodeLint 0.3.

I have a few "C" files open and to run CodeLint, I go to Plugins->CodeLint->Lint Source Code.

However, nothing happens. I even set the CodeLint option for AntiC/jLint to the path of the source files I'm working on. Nothing happens.

Does the output of CodeLint get placed somewhere special?

Thanks very much for your help.
Pretzel.

I posted this message as a reply to a different subject, and I heard that some people were having problems finding it so here it is:

I have never had a problem with jEdit and Fedora Core 3, any other Java app, or any Linux distro + Java for that matter. And you won't either.

Just unpack the JDK into whatever directory you feel like it.
For this example I am gonna say that I decided to unpack the JDK under /home/java. And no, I did not use the rpm. Just go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/index.jsp (pay a visit to http://www.java.com/en/ to see some cool java stuff) and get the .bin file, chmod to 755, run and unpack. Then copy to wherever place you want. Get the JDK not the JRE. It's bigger, meaner and better (who knows, someday you may want to cook that Java app that will get Microsith out of business --if the mighty Linux does not do that first, of course).

Make sure that your ~/.bash_profile has a line like:
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
and not
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

It wouldn't hurt to add another line like:
JAVA_HOME=/home/java

You should also have a line below like:
export PATH JAVA_HOME
note that there is a space between PATH and JAVA_HOME


save your ~/.bash_profile and create a directory bin under your home directory:
mkdir ~/bin
if it does not exist.
cd into ~/bin and create a soft link:
ln -s /home/java/bin/java java
that points to the bin/java inside your Java directory;
you may need to do:
source ~/.bash_profile
or even log out and log back in for the changes to take place. Anyhow, you should be able to do:
java -version
and see something like:

java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode)

or something similar depending on your JDK version.

now that you have the Java executable at your reach (shell-wise that is), you can run any Java programs.

If you are using Firefox, you may as well allow Firefox to execute applets/java programs; in that case pay at trip to:
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins and do:
ln -s /home/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

Now you should be able to install jEdit. I am gonna assume that jEdit has been installed into /home/myhome/jedit.

Now go back to your ~/bin and create a file called jedit: vi jedit
The file should contain the following 4 lines:

#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
exec "java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/home/myhome/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar" $@

or:

#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/home/myhome/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar" $@

should also work. Anyhow, save the file and make sure that it is executable: chmod 755 jedit
cd back to your home directory: cd ~/ and try: jedit &

and if you have lots of RAM memory, bump up that 32 to 64, 128 or whatever.
If you have had problems in jEdit complaining about the maximum memory allocated to Java, now you'll now how and where to solve that too (I did indeed have a memory shortage problem with extremely huge files).


Now you are done. Enjoy jEdit!!!

The Latex plugin can parse latex file structure with sidekick in release 4.2,
but it doesn't work in release 4.3pre2.

...to Jedit?

THX.

I've noticed strange behaviour of FTP plugin in version 0.7.3 (as opposed to 0.7.2 which works OK).

When I try to open a large ammount of files (let's say 25) at the same time, jedit opens 25 connections to ftp server (or at least tries to). As I have a connecion limit on my FTP server set to 10 (windows 2000 pro with built-in ftp service), jedit gives me a nice ftp error.

Did anybody experienced similar problems?
