I briefly checked the CVS, but I couldn't reallt find the answer to my questions: How are the rolling credits in the about dialog done? Java2D or some external library?

Thanks!

Is it possible to install Jedit and JRE on JumpDrive and be able to use the jedit/jump drive on different Window PC's?

I use several PC's and it would be nice to be able to install jedit and its environment once and carry the program with me when i move to a new computer.

"Backspace unindents" is the last one feature I miss from jEdit, after we got back wrapping text at window edge in 4.3pre1. jEdit is great, but this feature is the one, that makes me still using Delphi and Eclipse -- their editors all can unindent by backspace. Please?!

There's already a commandline option for putting the carret at a specificied line (+line:123). It would be nice if there was another option to specify the column too.

I installed a basic version of JEdit and then added the project viewer plugin. I created a new project and selected the "Yes, import all files in root directory" option when prompted. Now, when I return the the Plugins->Project Viewer->Projects menu I can see the new project. However, when I select this project from the popup menu, nothing happens. I don't see a toolbar or anything. The root folder has files and directories underneath it. Am I missing something? The help documentation doesn't seem helpful because I can't even see the toolbar that it mentions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tripp

The version of code2html in cvs has a command-line option I'd like to use, but I can't compile it against the current version of jedit. It does compile against jedit 4.0.

Are there any barriers to refactoring it to work with jedit 4.2? Does anyone know of a better multiple-language HTML syntax highlighter that can run from command line (or ideally, Ant)

Thanks, cosmo

I'm using the Jazzy spell checker. I find the instructions confusing (and out of date). My user dictionary is in a "words" directory, which is used correctly. However, clicking "Add to Dictionary" doesn't update any dictionary, altho it accepts this request without comment.

Any suggestions on how to get it to update a dictionary would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was trying add syntax highlighting to an existing standalone application. I think that JEdit has the best way of doing this. I don't mind including all the Jedit resources
including, startup scripts, etc, but I would like to just add the highlighting.

Is this in the wiki somewhere.

Hi dear jEdit users,
I pretty much love jEdit and so first thing what I did when I switched from WinXP to Fedora Core 3 Linux last week was installation of Sun JDK 1.5.something and lastest jEdit 4.3pre1. But what a suprise! I can't type certain characters on my Czech keyboard layout (numbers from 2 to 6 at aplhabetic keyboard). Because I have notebook and can't just use numpad and this makes work nearly impossible. I must copy&paste when I need these numbers!

After my web research I observed that is probably very very old bug in Sun's Swing implementations (see bugs http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4799499, and bugs 4935357, 4707542, 4765333, 4797332, 4799500, ...). Symptoms are still same - can't type non-US nation characters. Somebody reports german "sharp B", <, > and may other various characters. My case are numbers.

jEdit's keyb tester knows about these keys but don't pass it to screen (they are filtered). I can send excact dump.

I simply can't believe that all users at Linux do copy&paste to insert dead characters. Is there *any* workaround?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Have a nice day to all

1. jEdit has problem in HTML mode. When the end of HTML comment is //--> in script tag jEdit does not see that end.

2. In parametrized abbrev. there is a problem if parameter has '\n' sign.

Hi to all members,

I'm a new user of Jedit, and I didn't manage to open multiple sessions : in fact I installed Jedit 4.2 on SunOS 5.8 server, and it works fine when I execute it from server. but, from another station, even with the environment variable DISPLAY well set, if I launch Jedit, the window is opened on the server console, and not on the client console !

Have you an idea about this problem ?

Thanks.

I recently changed machines, from a laptop with screen resolution of 1920x1200 to desktop with resolution of 1280x1024. I copied over my settings folder from the old machine and now my find dialog is off screen when I open it.

What file in the jEdit settings folder has the positions for the find dialog?

Please cc any answers to me @ mailto:mark.longmire@infor.com

Thanks
Mark

Thought I would share this. I created a batch file called jeditstart.bat. The file contained the following line:

"C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.2pre15\jedit.jar" %1

The quotes were neccessary.

Then in My Computer - Folder Options - File Types - click on New button for new file extension and type java, then click ok. Now click the Change button and then click on other button and browse to your jeditstart.bat file and click on it to highlight it and click the Open button. Then click the Ok button.

Now you can double click a file with an extension of java and it open in jEdit.

I checked out jEdit from CVS and try to build it but it complains of a missing ant target "dist-13".

I guess I miss something here. Could someone kindly point me to the right direction.

Here is the console log:

D:\projects\opensource\jedit>ant -Dant.full.path=C:/Java/apache-ant-1.6.2/bin/ant build
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

jEdit:

BUILD FAILED
D:\projects\opensource\jedit\build.xml:31: The following error occurred while executing this line:

Hi,

I am having problems getting HTML to be highlighted. The HTML I am editing are withing .PHP extensions.

What do I need to do to get it to work?

Thanks.

I am new to jedit and am trying to use the XSLT plugin to combine .xml and .xsl files into .fo files for reporting. With a pair of input files which are both well-formed I am getting an error message "2: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'fo:root'", although as far as I can see fo:root is present and correct. With another pair of very simple files I get the message "2: Content is not allowed in prolog". Where can I find further explanation of these messages?

I am using 4.2final on Linux and everytime I start jedit it opens as many windows as were open the last time. Since I have checked the apropriate setting for not to load the files used in the last session, all these windows show empty buffers. I would like jedit to only open a single window though -- this must be easy but somehow I cannot seem to find out how.
