I'm a noob on XML Plugin, and I can't seem to get it to work properly. I'm trying to write a Console/Commando xml file (started with a different, valid Commando XML file), but the "XML Insert" panes are empty (i.e., don't contain valid element lists), and functions of the XML Pluging like "Edit Tag at Caret..." return an error dialog titled, "Not an XML File". This is puzzling because I know that I have a well-formed XML file in the selected buffer, and it's in XML editing mode on the jEdit status bar.

I think I must be missing something very basic, because the plugin loads fine, but it seems simply non-functional for editing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just started using jedit 4.2final and when I move to the action bar to type something it doesn't echo or appear on the screen, although the commands work. I tried using the utilities->global options->appearance to 'use jEdit text area colors in all' places but it didn't work and the typing is still invisible. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Because I have had version problems when installing XML plugin, I updated jEdit from 4.2pre9 to 4.2final.
I decided to update also Java VM form 1.4.2_03 to 1.4.2_06. Now "Restore previously open files on startup" doesn't work, although selected. A Bug? OR have I change another option, too?

When using braced variable names on an indented line, entry of ${Varname} causes the line to lose it's indent. e.g. for Line in $(ls) do print ${Line} <- as soon as the opening brace is typed the line shifts back to column 0 done Any ideas on how to fix this??? TIA

In Linux I use a customized keyboard mapping which gives me access to unicode characters I often need to type. But some of them, strangely, are wrongly displayed in jEdit. For example,
\u012b is displayed as \u03ef
\u016b as \u03fe
\u014d as \u03f2
\u0101 as \u03e0
\u0111 as \u01f0
\u0113 as \u03ba
etc
So for each of these cases I need a work-around by redefining the key that generates the wrong glyph with a shortcut to a macro which writes the correct character. For instance the shortcut Alt-a activates a bsh macro containing the line
textArea.setSelectedText("\u0101")
which prints "Ä?" (a macron) instead of \u3e0 which is Greek sampi!

I checked with other Java GUI apps having Unicode support (such as JabRef): the very same bug occurs again! So this must be a general Java bug (some mess in the Unicode tables?) Yet might it be possible to fix this in a future version of jEdit by somehow circumventing this mess through an appropriate patch? Sorry if I can't help much myself, as I am not a Java programmer.

Any idea?

Thanks,

PS: I run J2RE 1.5.0_01-b08 on Linux. The problem also occurs with J2RE 1.4.2_06-b03.

When i try to use the jjcompiler plugin i get this error:
Cannot start jcompiler.JCompilerPlyugin$ToolsJarNotFoundException: Could not find library tools.jar!

Hi,

I think it would be pretty cool to have a setting where you can enable all text selected to be automatically put into the clipboard, similar to Putty funcionality.

Thanks,

It is definitely something that I did, but I cannot determine what. I had jEdit 4.2 final working with jdk1.5.0 on a Windows 2000SP4 machine (IBM T30). I updated to jdk1.5.0_01 and jEdit was still working (meaning that it launched and everything worked fine, plugins included).

I did some work on my cygwin environment (installs, updates, etc) and then when I tried to launch jEdit, nothing happened.

Now when I say "nothing happened," I mean just that. Instead of using "javaw.exe", I tried launching from the command line, like:

C:\jedit42>java -version
java version "1.4.2_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode)

C:\jedit42>java -verbose -jar jedit.jar

and I saw everything load, no error messages, and then nothing more.

I have completely uninstalled/re-installed jEdit and my java environment, and now I am at java 1.4.2_06, but the same problem exists. And all throughout this, I can launch any other jar file, such as batik.jar or the jedit java installer. So it looks like this is something specific to jedit.jar (and I have a couple of different versions, all of which have the same behavior).

This isn't a bug, because it was working just fine before something in the environment changed. I'm stumped. Any clues or hints about this?

I'm trying to edit an .il file that is around 30m. I keep getting a message telling me to increase heap size, but it doesn't tell me how. I've searched the user guides, but the only thing it mentions is a windows utility that doesn't exist.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I'm installing jEdit on a new Windows machine and I'm having a problem. When I run the java-based installer the jFrame appears but it is empty, just a gray box. I know the components are there because if I click around I can get things to happen. If I use the Windows installer, everything goes fine, but then jEdit runs with the same problem -- a gray box appears with a smaller gray box for the tip of the day.

If I run either jEdit or the installer from the command line no errors are produced.

Here is the relevant version information.

jEdit 4.2 final
JDK 1.4.2_6 or JDK 1.5.0_1 (I've tried both)
Windows XP SP2 fresh install.

Because it is affecting both the installer and jEdit itself, I suspect it is a system problem. I've looked for extra java versions or jar files and nothing seems out of place. Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,
Steve

I'm a man of few [misspelled] words, so I'll make it brief.

Over the last three or fours months, not by choice, but by smell of money, I've been doing more and more Java development. As such, I've been in search of a Java development environment. I've tried all of the IDEs out there - Eclipse, NetBeans, JBuilder, JDeveloper, etc. Then I came upon jEdit. I've given it a passing glance years ago, but the level of polish and professionalism that it has since obtained is simply astounding. I am trully speechless. It feels like it's really *MY* editor for J2EE projects. I LOVE it. This is coming from a cynic who got started eleven years ago doing assembler under DOS and has coded in everything from DOS's qedit to Borlands Turbo C++ to FTE.

Great job, guys!

Now where is that donate link...

Hi there,

I made several changes (added a lot of keywords) in the PL/SQL Edit Mode. I would like to submit this changed PLSQL.XML file to the Download Section.

How do I do this?
Do I violate copyright when I enhance an existing Mode file?

Thanks

I would like to set up my environment so that I can have 2 (or more) distinct instances/windows of jEdit (at least in appearance) so that I can have separate collections of buffers open in each instance/window.

It appears that this can be accomplished as I would like it by using the -noserver option on the command line.

If this is the preferred way to do this, does anyone have a suggestion on how I can create a shortcut/batch file (I'm on Windows) so that I can start jEdit w/o it being linked to the blank command window?

Currently I have a batch file that contains

start java -jar jedit.jar -noserver

I would love to get rid of that blank window, though, b/c it just clutters things up with double the task bar buttons.
