Cannot install plugins.
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 27 January, 2005 - 04:47
Hi there,

I tried to install JEdit 4.2pre.15 on a Win2k box.

This is the Java version that I run :
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>java -version
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, sharing)

And this is the error message that I have when I try to get plugins:
Could not download the plugin list.
(java.net.UnknownHostException: plugins.jedit.org)

I have obviously access to the net, because I can send you a message Smiling
And I have no proxy..

I also tried with a 4.2 and I get the same error message..
Delete of directories in VFS file browser
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 27 January, 2005 - 12:26
The VFS file browser does not allow me to delete non empty directories. I very useful feature would be if jedit could ask if I would like to delete the directory including its content. Current error message I get is: "The following I/O operation could not be completed: Cannot delete file."

I've downloaded and installed this plugin, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work. Now that it's installed, how do I get jEdit to hide bracketed contents?

Auto Completion by default? (without Ctrl-B)

Is there anyway that you can enable autocompletion to automatically pop up so I don't have to type Ctrl-B everytime?

Thanks in advance

Allow < code > and/or < ? php > for Input
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 27 January, 2005 - 21:31
Drupal is currently not set to allow < code > or < ?php > for input. I would like to share some code, but this is difficult with the current settings which will not display the code as I would like within a posting.

Even for this posting I needed to add a space after < and > . Thanks
Regular Expression Syntax Help
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 27 January, 2005 - 21:39
I have the following on 3 separate lines in many, many files. So, I want to Search and Replace with regular expressions. Here are the lines:
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >
< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="/foo//links/" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

My regular expression can't find the above, and I don't understand why, any suggestions:

\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="foo" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

Thank you. Sorry, the above code looks dirty. I tried < code > and < ? php > here so it would cleanly post, but those input formats are not available. I had to add a space after every < and before every > . This message is difficult to read Sad.
ability to sort by columns in File System Browser
Submitted by paulflory on Friday, 28 January, 2005 - 05:05
A request: to be able to click on the columns in the FSB to sort the dirs/files by name, type, size, status, and last modified.

First click on a column heading (like Size) would sort one way, say ascending; a second click on the same heading would sort in the opposite order (descending).

Would others find this useful, or useless?

Thanks,
Paul
indenting splitted code lines
Submitted by ajba74 on Friday, 28 January, 2005 - 16:07
Hi everyone,

Suppose I want to split one code line in two lines of jedit. How do I set the indenting space for the second jedit line, if I don't want a full TAB space.

Thanks in advance,
Arnaldo

could the moderators delete the "junk" posts from the forums?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 29 January, 2005 - 01:07
Some idiot has been posting a lot of crap with links to porn sites.

For example, see the messages with heading "ciao ciao".

Could someone remove these? It's like unwanted graffiti.

change which keys are C and A?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 29 January, 2005 - 11:43
I work on both a Mac and a PC side by side, using the same keyboard for both.

On a Mac, jEdit uses the Command key as Ctrl and the Ctrl key as Alt. This is pretty jarring when I'm switching back and forth from one to the other.

Is there a way to change this behavior?

Cannot Run any Java Class File Using Commando?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 30 January, 2005 - 23:34
Hi,
I've spent hours reviewing this message board as well as going through all the various options within Jedit to do a simple Java command.
I am trying to run a java class file that I have successfully compiled using the Plugins>Console>Compile Current Buffer option. I have Java version 1.4.2_07 installed.

But when I then use Plugins>Console>Run Current Buffer I always get the following error in the Command Window.
C:\Program Files\jEdit> java -classpath "$CLASSPATH;C:" -ms32m -mx32m Solution
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Solution
Exception in thread "main" Process java exited with code 1

My Java file resides in my C directory. I've checked all my classpath settings in the Environment Var options and they're fine. I can compile and run this program using a DOS Command Window on Windows XP but cannot run it using Jedit's Commando plugin.

The only way I can get it to work is to cd up 2 directory levels to the C drive and then issue the java command. But I'd rather not have to do this each time...

I'd appreciate any help out there on this as I'm baffled with why this will not work for me.

Thank You!!

LaTeX Menu Manager (LaTeX_Menu_Manager.bsh v1.2 by Jakub Holy)
Submitted by malyvelky on Monday, 31 January, 2005 - 12:12
When in tex mode create a top-level menu for LaTeX Tools This macro simplifes the work of people using (La)TeX with jEdit because it makes the menu of LaTeX Tools available in 1 click instead of 2 - 3. When a user switches into another buffer it's checked whether it is in the (la)tex mode and if so LaTeX Tool Plugin's menu is copied to the menu bar next to "Help" (i.e. a top-most menu is created for it). When the buffer is left the menu is removed. The macro could be easily modified for another mode,plugin combination (change the fields PLUGIN_CLASS and MODES) and with a bit more work it could handle multiple pairs of modes and plugins. The macro shall be placed in jEdit startup directory (e.g. /home/me/.jedit/startup/; find it from jEdit: Utilities->Settings Directory->More->startup) to load it automaticaly. If you want to load it manually: 1. Open the macro and in beanshell execute 'eval( textArea.getText() );' or 'source("path/to/macro")' to make the class available 2. In beanshell again execute 'new ModeMenuManager( view );' which will create an instance listening for edit mode changes & setting the menu.

CHANGELOG:
1.1 - show the menu also for the 1st active buffer if it's TeX; so far you need to switch into a non-tex buffer and back
- check that the plugin is available 1.2 - work not only for tex but also for latex mode LIMITATIONS: Only one view is supported so far. If there're more requests I'll work out multiple-view support but otherwise I'll leave it as it is.
If you set edit mode of a buffer manually (in buffer options) the macro won't reflect it until you switch into another buffer and back

LINKS:
Donwload the LaTeX Tools plugin: http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?LaTeXTools You should also try a pretty useful latex macro from http://jfmagni.free.fr/doc/help.html or http://community.jedit.org/?q=filestore/download/1830 (Files>Macros)
WARNING:
LaTeX Tools v. 0.5.1 only function with the mode 'tex'. If the buffer mode is 'latex' the plugin believes it's not a TeX file and so e.g. the Structure Browser doesn't work. i sumitted a bug for it. You may correct it yourself - see the plugin bug 1396913 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1396913&group_id=588&atid=565475).
Ctrl + Shift + O doesn't work for changing paragraph direction
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 31 January, 2005 - 14:47
In normal Java applications one is supposed to be able to change paragraph direction (from LTR to RTL) with Ctrl + Shift + O, but this combination does nothing in jEdit.

Splitpane Down (splitpane_down.bsh v1.0 by Claudio Vicari)
Submitted by cvicari on Monday, 31 January, 2005 - 16:47
Moves the main split pane in the active view towards the bottom, if vertical, or to the right, if horizontal. Useful if called via a keyboard shortcut, in order to easily hide/show file portions.
Splitpane Up (splitpane_up.bsh v1.0 by Claudio Vicari)
Submitted by cvicari on Monday, 31 January, 2005 - 16:49
Moves the main split pane in the active view towards the top, if vertical, or the left, if horizontal.
