ClearType antialiasing available on Windows is a lot better than jEdit's font smoothing. I have noticed that Eclipse, which I believe to be written in Java as well, and which I run on the same JVM, uses Windows' font smoothing. It would be great if jEdit allowed for this option.

Hi, I recently tried to install jEdit on my computer, but it won't run. It starts loading and then this error message pops out:

Sourced file: C:\Documents and Settings\mywei\Desktop\jEdit\startup\startup.bsh unknown error: Prohibited package name: java.lang : at Line: 22 : in file: C:\Documents and Settings\mywei\Desktop\jEdit\startup\startup.bsh : e = Math .E

any idea what's wrong? i tried different versions/installs and they all came up with the same error message.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

jEdit is a text editor, text is saved in files and files are associated with applications. When I'm in the windows explorer and double-click on a rb file the ruby interpreter gets launches. I would like to execute the file from within jEdit by let's say pressing F5, is that possible? I hope I'm the right track using jEdit and Ruby for shell scripting in Windows, I don't want to mess with WSH and .NET doesn't support scripting, there are work arounds for .NET scripting but I thought it might be smarter to learn Ruby.

Is there a simple way to search for a hi-lited string without opening the search dialog box or search bar? I.e. I'd like to hi-lite a string and with a single button press have Jedit find the next occurance of that string.

Thanks!

In my Sidekick options, it lists the available parsers as Python, HTML, and XML. Yet when I open a Python file, Sidekick does not parse it. When I added PerlSidekick, I then had a Perl parser listed in Sidekick options, and it will show the structure of a Perl file nicely. So I'm assuming unless anyone tells me otherwise, that I need a Python Sidekick plugin. But I wonder why Python shows up as an available parser in the Sidekick options?

Have anybody information or experience in extending jedit with lisp or some other functional languages?
May be it's possible to write scheme code and then compile it with Kawa http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/ into java byte-code and integrade with jedit?

Is there documented method using jEdit as the text editing component within another Swing application? As a replacement for the JTextPane object, for example?

Hi, I've just started using jEdit and I love it (big thanks to the Devs,)! BUT I have a major problem. I have tried with 4.2final and 4.3pre2 beta. My problem is that when using the FTP plugin, after first loading a file from FTP, when trying to save the changes my whole network connection stops dead. jEdit also temporarily hangs, failing to redraw the UI for a while. Pinging my router fails, "ipconfig /renew" does nothing; disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cable doesn't work either. Only a reboot will bring the network back up. I have no problems on Win2K, but WinXP home with (for better or worse) all the latest updates is unusable. No problems with other Java apps (though none use FTP functionality), nor with any of my network apps (including other editors with FTP ability). I deleted my Java cache just in case.

JRE is Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_04-b05), I always uninstall JRE's before reinstalling new updates.

I have both a saved activity.log and an ethernet packet log if it would aid anyone. It seems some kind of backup mechanism fails.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The relevant part of activity.log:

Hi,

I'm using jedit for editing latex with the german language package. This package uses quotation marks for special charachters and so jedit's syntax highlighting interprets much of the text as LITERAL1, although this is not intended to be so. Is there a way of switching off syntax highlighting just for LITERAL1? How can one generally individually define syntax highlighting (not only the colour, but also when things should be marked in this colour)?

Thanks a lot,
Matthaeus

How to set HTML syntax highlighting for all files with extension .ftl ?

Is it possible for the Console plugin's error patterns to apply to more than line? For example, saxon errors look like

Error at xsl:value-of on line 41 of file:/C:/dev/yell/layout.xsl:
Error in expression time@status: Unexpected token @ beyond end of expression

and since the regex only applies to one line, I don't know how to get both the line number/file name and the error in there. I tried

Error at .* on line ([0-9]+) of file:/(.*):\n\s*Error in .*: (.*)

but it didn't work.

Any thoughta?

I realy like jedit. If you take the time to play and fiddle with the ever growing list of plugins, you can customise jedit into a decent IDE for almost all programming languages (all the main ones).

I am primarily a PHP mySQL developer.

Plugins I like to use:

Code Browser
Project Viewer
Error List
ColorChooser
Clipper
XML
FTP
JTidyPlugin
PHPParser
SideKick

+ Some Updated Edit modes:

PHP edit mode V2
Advanced HTML edit mode

BUT!!!

There is one problem standing in my way from crowning jedit as my favourite editor. To have code completion (control+B) also known as complete word for both PHP and HTML you need to use the advanced HTML edit mode xml file and set html as your default edit mode for PHP files. This gives you PHP code completion in html edit mode, but to have html code completion you need to set the parser for the html edit mode in your side kick plugin and not to phpparser. This is were things got difficult for me.

If phpparser is not set and html is used then my error list stops working and the structure browser shows the HTML structure not the PHP structure (Both structures would be better), but error list is vital to me.

Maybe I am over looking something in my setup if so can someone please tell me how to get it all to work. I think the problem come in with the edit modes. Ideally you should be able to set multiple edit modes per a file type. Look at Web development as a example. You need syntax highlighting and complete word / code completion functionality for HTML / XHTML, JavaScript, PHP / ASP / JSP and SQL would be nice to. I understand this is not a big problem when it comes to compiled languages. But it is conceptually the more versatile way if possible, and in programming I believe nothing is impossible.

Can I have it all. Please help. If not, a suggestion for the future.
Sorry for the long post.

Give it a web based jEdit Version, where i can programm imploded flash or shockwave features use? i will change the structure of my website (Telefonkonferenz to write it complett in jEdit.

I would say thanks for the good informations at your site.

I have a latin-american distribution keyboard (very similar to a spanish keyboard), and I can't type the ^ character (which is produced by typing AltGr+^, or AltGr+^^). Other characters that are typed the same way like ` work just fine. Any ideas?

I couldn't find this in any of the plugins.

Would it be possible to have the search dialog as a dockable item? For instance, it would be nice to have it on the right side, maybe with the hypersearch results beneath like in the file browser.

The current search dialog is a pain to use. It hides my text, doesn't disappear and is just plain annoying like all dialog boxes are. I like jEdit because almost everything can be put on the docks, and are instantly available when I want them. This search dialog seems to be the only exception. I know that there exists the search tool bar (which I now use almost exclusively, as I repeat, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS STUPID SEARCH DIALOG - wow, glad to get that off my chest). However from this tool bar you cannot search directories. What do I need to do to have this option?

Also, it would be nicer if the multiple file search was a little faster. It seems to take forever on a regular expression...

Thanks for listening.

Moin,

I want to clear my edited text for all lines which have
empty content e.g. white spaces or nothing and so on.

I can use find and replace to find an string and replace it,
but I havenot an idea to use an macro which will delete
these line if found the given string.

What is my fault?

e.g. in sed '/^\ .*$/d' will find all empty lines and
lines with spaces only and delete them.

MfG...
