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 ?

Very much it would be desirable that jEdit supported the given code page, we work with files using this code page much

This forum should be helpful but it is full of spam.
Is there any maintainer active?

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".

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?

Hi,
although I chose "Indent with: Soft (emulated with spaces) tab" in the global options, the smart indent uses tabs. Why?
Thank you
Massimo

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.)

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.

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.

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?

hi!

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

thank you!

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.

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.

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.

I run Jedit on Ubuntu Warty, Kernel 2.6.8, Gnome 2.8, and if I use the "gnome clipboard daemon", copy and past don't work in Jedit...
I have tryed Jedit 4.2 and 4.3pre2 and the probleme is the same.

Is there a plugin that will create a menu with manually addable items for files (kind of like the Bookmarks menu in a web browser)?

I know about the "Favorites" option in the file manager but that seems like it can only bookmark paths rather than specific files. There is also the "Bookmarks" plugin but that doesn't really seem to have same goal as what I'm looking for and would be cumbersome for my purpose.

If you find the icon for the move / drop operation gets in the way and obscures where you want to drop selection try this solution:
This is using j2re1.4.2_06 - the problem may not exist in other versions
Find file "motif_MoveDrop32x32.gif"
in
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/lib/images/cursors/motif_MoveDrop32x32.gif
or wherever your jre folder is
Open in gimp (may have to change read/write permission)
Select white area - leave just little bit of white around edge
Make it transparent
Save.

This will, I expect change icon, in all java apps.
You could also try editing "cursors.properties"
I'm sure there might be better wys but this seems to work!

In Project Viewer, when adding a new project, I'm limited to choosing a local location for project root, but I often work on remote files. I can add files from VFS and get my remote files, but I can only add one file at a time. That's very time-consuming. Would like to be able to import files from directories on remote servers. Also: projects can only consist of files, but not directories? Would like to add directories/folders as part of a project, to be able to organize my project similarly to how it will exist on the filesystem when deployed.
