Problem Installing jEdit from .jar file
Submitted by matazar42 on Sunday, 16 October, 2005 - 20:22
Ok, I've never installed anything from a .jar before so I probably forgot something stupid. I'm using RedHat 9 linux. I downloaded the .jar and ran it with this output:

[root@localhost zips]# java -jar ./jedit42install.jar
Warning: -jar not understood. Ignoring.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ..jedit42install.jar

Any help is appreciated.

Mac OS style menubar not working
Submitted by noah on Monday, 17 October, 2005 - 21:26
Since I upgraded from Panther to Tiger, the option to "Enable Mac OS style menubar" (in the Plugin Options for the Mac OS Plugin) no longer works. Regardless of whether or not this option is selected, the jEdit menu appears at the top of the jEdit window, not in the OS X menubar at the top of the page.

Is there a setting I can edit manually that will fix this? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Noah

Run jEdit from Unix without X Windows
Submitted by n0e on Tuesday, 18 October, 2005 - 13:50
Hi all, Is it possible to run jEdit from pure Unix command line, just like vi or emacs, with no nececessary X windows supplied ? If I run jEdit from command line, it always appear error messages like these: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shell$ jedit Exception in thread "main" [error] main: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

How to run an HTA file from jEdit?
Submitted by davmay on Wednesday, 19 October, 2005 - 04:25
I would like to be able to run my HTA file from the jEdit editor window. I assume this would require adding a new entry to the Run_Script.bsh macro. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Load/save of abbreviation sets?
Submitted by davmay on Saturday, 22 October, 2005 - 01:14
Is it currently possible to save or load whole sets of abbreviations for a particular mode? If not, this would be a useful feature, as it would allow users to share abbreviation sets and modify them rather than having to build their own from scratch.

Abbreviations don't work in embedded script
Submitted by davmay on Saturday, 22 October, 2005 - 02:50
I created an abbreviation for Javascript mode; it works fine in a *.js buffer, but I find that it doesn't work within a Javascript block embedded in an *.html or *.hta buffer. Shouldn't mode-specific abbreviations work correctly within a delegated mode just as syntax highlighting does?

Is there some way for the user to make this work, or is this an ability that jEdit does not have yet?

Workarounds:
1. Copy the javascript abbreviations to the html mode.
2. Create the abbreviations in the global mode instead.

Both these approaches, of course, negate the principle of configuring each mode independently.
jEdit developement future
Submitted by bwalle on Saturday, 22 October, 2005 - 11:33
Hello,

the last beta release is from March 2005, so I just want to ask if there are plans to create new beta releases of jEdit or what's the future of this great tool. Thanks.

German Localization light (deutsch.props v4.4.2.1 by Robert Schwenn)
Submitted by Robert Schwenn on Sunday, 23 October, 2005 - 16:56
Most visible labels of jEdit's core and about 60 plugins should appear in German language, after this properties file is put into jEdit's "properties" directory (under jEdit_Home), and jEdit was restarted.

Supported plugins (and other details): see fileheader.

Changes in Version 4.4.2.1:
- Support for jEdit core 4.4.2.
- Update for recent versions of all supported plugins

CAUTION: Users of the SVNPlugin have to use the matching deutsch.props, otherwise some menu items are labeled wrong!

StatusBar: time of current buffer
Submitted by Robert Schwenn on Sunday, 23 October, 2005 - 17:42
It would good to see date and time of last save of the current buffer's file in the status bar.
BufferTabs
Submitted by Robert Schwenn on Sunday, 23 October, 2005 - 17:49
Please: add a popup menu item to "save as ..." the current buffer.
How turn off 'smart indent'?
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:08
Is there a way to disable smart indenting? When I'm at end of a line of code that's indented, and I hit Enter, I'd like the edit cursor to simply go to column 0, and not below the beginning of the line of code.
Do "return 1;"?
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:14
Is there any point to doing "return 1;" instead of "return;" at the end of a macro? Or even "return;" at all? I've seen that in a few of them, but haven't been doing it in mine.
Don't expand fold when paste it
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:21
Currently jEdit expands folded text when it is pasted, which forces the user to refold the text. It's especially annoying when the user is moving multiple chunks of folded text around. jEdit should keep the folded text folded.
Ignore "}" lines when doing folding
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:29
Currently jEdit will fold code like...
    sub x() {
        yadda yadda
    }
    sub y() {
        yadda yadda
    }
...as...
    sub x() {
    }
    sub y() {
    }
jEdit should fold in any lines that only contain whitespace and one "}", so twice as much important code is displayed per screen, e.g.
    sub x() {
    sub y() {
Perhaps have it as an option, in case anyone prefers seeing those singleton }'s. My current workaround is to indent those visible }'s an extra space, which is a pain.
Show matching quotes
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:33
jEdit shows the matching brace or parenthesis when the edit cursor is to the right of a brace or parenthesis. It should do the same for matching double and single quotes, at least if they are on the same line of text.
Search > Find dialog box should not block found text
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 04:42
The Search > Find dialog box often blocks the found text. It should automatically move up or down, revealing the found text, so the user doesn't have to do it manually. Surely the code that finds and highlights the text knows what screen line it is on, and the current position of the dialog box.
