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,
François

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.

I have recently installed J2SE 5.0 and Jedit.
Everything I compile now compiles, but will not run.

I get this error in the console:

Please help me understand what I need to do to remedy this runtime issue.

Hi,

I was trying to do some simple text rearranging but the beanshell replace vars that should have been set from the regex replacement values always return 'void'. I tried a simple test that goes like this...

convert this...
v1 sdfsdf v2 zzzzzzz

to this...
v1 zzzzzzz v2 sdfsdf

The search string is v1.*v2.*
The replace string is "v1 " + _2 + " v2 " + _1

Instead of the result I expect, what I get is
v1 void v2 void

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Scott



My version is 4.2 final.

Whenever I print out a document that exceeds 100 characters per line, the characters greater than 100 overwrite the previous characters starting around the 93rd character. This happens when I use Monospace 9 point. If I change the print font to Monospace 8 point, then the characters greater than 100 start printing about a half inch past the 100th character. If I turn on the "Print Spacing Workaround", the printout looks good, but the spool file is huge (30 Mb) and printing a 30 page document takes a long long time (It's much quicker for me to open another editor just to do the printing).

I know similar messages have been posted in the Mailing Lists, but I have a some questions not answered there:

1) Have other people seen this same problem? or is it my setup (Windows XP, JRE 1.4.2) How do you print wide documents?

2) What is special about 100 characters? Is this a Java limitations or JEDIT? Can this be set greater than 132 (or some larger number)?

3) If this is a Java bug, is there any hope of a resolution besides the workaround?

Thanks in advance, and even with the above problem, JEDIT is still one of the best around.

i've just DL'ed jEdit and trying to set it up

jEdit 4.2
Win98fe russian
sun JRE 5.0 Update 1

in Global Options, i set Default char enc to UTF-8. so in the new file i've got (text, none, UTF-8) in the bottom right corner. i'm set up so i can type in english, russian, and slovak, and whenever i try typing slovak characters it typing cyrillic chars. however, if i open a UTF8 file, it will display all charracters in the file correctly, but the new slovak characters i type are still show up as cyrillics.

i've tried changing font (in Text Area) to arial Unicode (tho i really wish i didn't have to, since its not monospaced), but that did not help.

what am i not doing right?

I use xp.
I will translate Help Files into Korean.
But I don't find Help Files of Plugins.
Where are those?
