Uninstalling JEdit under Windows
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 5 March, 2005 - 14:47
What's the proper way to uninstall JEdit after having installed it using the Java based installer? Is it enough to delete the two directories just created: C:\Program Files\JEdit and C:\Documents and Settings\user\.jedit, or there's also some file inside C:\Windows or other system directories? The fact is that I have no entry for JEdit under "Add/Remove Programs".
Open dialogue box invisible or off the screen
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 5 March, 2005 - 19:43
I'm running JEdit 4.2 under WindowsXP on a IBM ThinkPAD laptop (T-42p). I go between two envronments, working with two monitors (my laptop screen plus an attached LCD), and just working with one monitor (my laptop screen).

Recently when I am working with one monitor, JEdit's Open dialogue box is off the screen, invisible, or hidden. When I click on Open it effectly freezes my JEdit environment until I ALT+F4 (close) the invisible open dialogue box.

How can I adjust the open dialogue box so that it's always visable?
Python error pattern

I do not know how to see Console Error patterns for Python 2.4. I do not know even regexp! I have searched this message board for answer but did not find him, just unanswered questions. So help us please!

Error and worning look like this:

moving buffers and switching between them
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 7 March, 2005 - 14:14
I have opened buffer1, buffer2 and buffer3. I decide to move buffer3 before buffer2, so I have buffer1, buffer3, buffer2. But when I am in buffer1 and choose command "Go to next buffer", it switches to buffer2, not to buffer 3, which is next to buffer1. imho it is a little bit anoying
button to launch java program ?
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 8 March, 2005 - 09:10
the JCompiler plugin provides a command to compile a java file, that I can associate to a button.
But how do I create a button to execute the current java file ?
I can't believe that I have to write the "java ..." command in the console to do that.
I've look at the FAQ, I've not found this question: noboby uses Jedit to develop java applications ? Eye-wink

Java 5.0 support
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 9 March, 2005 - 12:05
Several very useful plugins are not adapted for development under Java 5.0,
e.g. JBrowse, JExplorer, JavaStyle and (maybe) some core plugins.

As a grateful user of these tools, I *humbly* ask if there are efforts on the way to adapt these or other tools to Java 5.0 language features?

If not, then Java 5.0 language support is my "Feature Request".
jedit won't print after Cisco VPN Client installed - WinXP
Submitted by rimcrazy on Wednesday, 9 March, 2005 - 22:08
I have a laptop with Winxp sp2 installed. Jedit worked fine. I installed Cisco VPN client and since then I cannot print from jedit. You select print from the menu and program hangs. I tried an uninstall and reinstall and it still won't work. Any clues?
auto indent inserts tabs
Submitted by mapo on Friday, 11 March, 2005 - 10:55
Hi,
although I chose "Indent with: Soft (emulated with spaces) tab" in the global options, the smart indent uses tabs. Why?
Thank you

Caution: BeanShell at console can hang jEdit 4.2final
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 11 March, 2005 - 15:43
I accidentally hit Enter when typing "while (i < 20)" at the Console and jEdit hung, doing an infinite loop, since i was not being incremented.

Luckily, the autosave recovered my document, but thought I'd warn you all about this danger.

An execution-terminate key would be nice. As of right now, the documentation shows no terminate key for infinite BeanShell loops. I think this is possible by running BeanShell in a separate thread, and killing that thread on the execution-terminate key?

If there is an execution-terminate key, please have that documented.

(Windows version of jEdit 4.2final, using Console plugin downloaded as of yesterday from inside the editor.)
jEdit and blanks
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 11 March, 2005 - 19:56
I really like the functions of jEdit, and so I decided to make Windows open all *.php files with jEdit. So I made my operating system Windows XP to open all *.php files with this address:
C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\bin\javaw.exe -jar "G:\Programme\jEdit\jedit.jar"
Now I can open my *.php files directly, without starting jEdit and then opening it. Nisi the path of the *.php file contains blanks, then it doesn't work. And that's what I think is a bug. If it isn't, I would be very pleased if you would say me what I made wrong.
ErrorList errors
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 12 March, 2005 - 09:39
I have problem when using javac. Errors from javac are recognized as warnings in ErrorList plugin. JCompiler doesn't have that problem.

With jikes there is a problem in showing errors in edit pane. Whole line is underlined as error, but it should underline just a part of line that jikes is showing like this: D:/work/SomeClass.java:105:22:105:34:
1. number is beginning line, 2. is beginning column, 3. ending line and 4. number is ending line of error.

New unindentThisLine property
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 14 March, 2005 - 22:24
I don't know if this is user error, or a bug, so I thought I'd start in the troubleshooting forum.

I constantly use jEdit to edit Ruby scripts (whose files end in .rb). Ruby uses a lot of keywords to specify blocks and other areas where one might want to indent. For example

def foo( num )
     a=1
     begin
         # some code
         if a==1
             # more code
         elsif a==2
             # more code
         else
             # blah
         end
         # yadayadayada
     end
     return a
end

I can get indenting to work just fine when I use the indentNextLines="\s*((if\s+.*|elsif\s+.*|else\s*|do(\s*|\s+.*)|case\s+.*|when\s+.*|while\s+.*|for\s+.*|until\s+.*|loop\s+.*|def\s+.*|class\s+.*|module\s+.*|begin.*|unless\s+.*)*)"

However, if I add a unindentThisLine property, not only does it not work, it screws up my indentNextLines property. The following is how the same code above would look with indentThisLine="\s*((end\s*|else\s*|elsif\s+)*)"

def foo( num )
a=1
begin
# some code
if a==1
# more code
elsif a==2
# more code
else
     # blah
end
     # yadayadayada
return a
end

Normally, with only using the indentNextLines, I would get proper indentation after the begin, def, if, elsif and else statements. If I add the unindentThisLine property, not only do the lines not get unindented at the right time, but the indentNextLines breaks. As you can see in the above example, I only got indentation *after* and "else" or an "end" (which were specified in unindentThisLine). And only the next line was indented, after that it unindented.

So, it seems that the addition of unindentThisLine break indentNextLine, plus anything I specify in unindentThisLine does not unindent, but rather indents the next (and only the next 1) line.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?
Project encoding

hi!

it would be very useful to set encoding to entire project, not only when opening files by one.

thank you!
How to move profile directory ?
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 15 March, 2005 - 14:58
Is there a way to move jedit's profile directory under windows from "C:\Documents and Settings\username\.jedit" to another location ?
Since the profile space is restricted to 20 MB in our network, I've got to (partially) delete it before I can log off.
Highlighting Matching Tag Issue
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 16 March, 2005 - 07:23
Hi, I know there is a way for Jedit to outline the matching tag with any color given, but is there a way to have it set a background color for the matching tag instead of just outlining it?

Thanks.
Removing period at the end of line
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 16 March, 2005 - 14:24
Is there a way to not display the "." period at the end of each line. I find it very hard to edit anything with jedit because the language I use already uses periods at the end of line. Having to periods at the end kind of throws me off. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
