command line: option "+line: " on windows
Submitted by mku on Tuesday, 14 February, 2006 - 10:21
Hi everybody here in the forum , is ti true that on windows the no commandline options except filenames are possible ? I whant to open a file with "jedit +line: but without success. In the help i found the following statement: "If you are using jEditLauncher to start jEdit on Windows, only file names can be specified on the command line" Is that really true or is there another possibility to set a marker on the commandline ? Thanks in advance Martin
Edit Modes: Specify Indent Next Line When Last Char is Colon
Submitted by hurricanedavid on Tuesday, 14 February, 2006 - 18:28
I am using jEdit to write AutoHotKey scripts. Subroutines have the following format...

[code]
SubRoutineName:
__Commands
Return
[/code]

("Commands" should have been indented, but it didn't preview that way, so I inserted a couple of underscores to fake it.)
How can I make jEdit indent after I type a subroutine name and then the colon, rather than having to indent myself?
It does it with braces {}, so I figure I can make it do it after a colon, too.

Can anyone help?
Archive/JavaInsight under jEdit 4.3pre3
Submitted by webengr on Wednesday, 15 February, 2006 - 18:47
Greetings,

I am a longtime jEdit fan, and I recently decided to move from 4.2 to 4.3pre3. Today I needed to look at some Java code that I did not have the source files for, and found that it would not work. I used the "Archive" plugin to browse a jar file, and "JavaInsight" to do a jode-decompile. This latter operation errored out. I had prviously updated all of the plugins that needed to be upgraded, but Archive and JavaInsight were not on the list. Details are included below. Thanks!

selection through gutter
Submitted by Old Spider on Thursday, 16 February, 2006 - 13:19
It would be very helpful to be able to click on a line number, including dragging, to select a field of text. Currently I'm unable to do that and it takes extra time to drag and select a single line of text.
How determine if a file is locked?
Submitted by a992400 on Saturday, 18 February, 2006 - 22:17
One of my macros saves open buffers, but it pops up an error message anytime it tries to save a file that is in use by another process, and I'd like to avoid that error message, by not trying to say that particular buffer. Is there a way to check a buffer and see if it is being used by another process?
emacs-like keyboard
Submitted by steph on Monday, 20 February, 2006 - 21:33
Hi, I'd like to change globally all the shortcuts so that an emacs user would be instantly at home
I've seen that it is possible to change any shortcut...but it is too tedious to do it this way for every escape sequence
maybe the best way would be to permit a few styles: jedit, emacs, whatever
is it possible to generate a file with all the actual keyboard shortcuts (in a form that can be reread by jedit Smiling...from there it should be easy to generate another "style"
any thoughts?
thanks
XML Plugin: Updated Ant Completion
Submitted by Stillglade on Tuesday, 21 February, 2006 - 16:20
The Ant code completion when editing a build.xml file is currently outdated (based on Ant 1.5). This functionality is driven by the ant-complete.xml file found in the XML Plugin (a sort of DTD for Ant). I created an Ant task that when run will generate an updated ant-complete.xml based on the version of Ant used when running the task (it uses the Introspection Helper to see all available task/types and their attributes/sub-elements). I created a patch for the build.xml of the XML Plugin so that when built, it will also update the ant-complete.xml file as part of the build. This will keep this file from getting out of date in future releases of the XML Plugin (assuming that new versions of Ant are used when building for a release). Also, this is useful for those who wish to build the plugin themselves as it will allow them to use Ant code copletion with their specific types and tasks which may be added to their local Ant installations.

I recently created a bug report which has these changes attached - http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1432414&group_id=588&atid=565475
Manipulating jEdit from external process.
Submitted by PaulCollingwood on Wednesday, 22 February, 2006 - 10:24
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to access a running version of jEdit (and it's plugins) from an external application?

I have very,very little understanding of Java, but instincts tell me that maybe this could be achieved via a JVM instance in control of an application.
Could someone confirm whether this is possible?

The reason I would like to perform such a task is to invoke calls to the ErrorList pligin, via it's addError() call, as is outline here....

http://community.jedit.org/cgi-bin/TWiki/view/Plugins/PluginDebuggingTechniques

I would like to write a WIN32 application that performs such a tesk, and this would ideally be written in either VB or C.

Has anyone got any ideas how I would get started on this?

Many Thanks Smiling
Windows Native Launcher?
Submitted by tony72 on Thursday, 23 February, 2006 - 12:58
Hi, I recently installed jEdit 4.2, and it seems to be a great editor. But I can't seem to associate it with any file types. From googling, it sounds like there used to be a native launcher for this purpose, but it doesn't seem to have been installed with 4.2, and I don't see a standalone download anywhere. Is there a way to do this?
How to use and configure JcrontabPlugin
Submitted by ebart on Friday, 24 February, 2006 - 09:03
Do any body know about information on using JcrontabPlugin? I've installed this plugin, it is seen in Plugin Manager as loaded.

Saving word wrap settings
Submitted by J2R on Friday, 24 February, 2006 - 19:18
Not sure if this is a bug. Every time I open a document, the word wrap settings have reverted to None. I change the Word Wrap to Soft at 120 columns in Buffer-Options, save the document. When I reopen it, the word wrap has gone and I have to set it again. Any suggestions?

Memory leak, memory growth?
Submitted by ilazarte on Monday, 27 February, 2006 - 07:30
I'm noticing in the heap monitor, even though JEdit starts at only a 4/5 mb value, it slow creeps up even if I'm not doing anything to as far as 12 MB. This may happen over the course of an hour or so. I've been restarting the prog when it gets that far to reclaim usage. Thankfully the restarts are pretty much instantenous Smiling

I'm using jEdit 4.2 final, with several plugins:
CssEditor 0.3
ErrorList 1.4
FTP 0.7.3
Jakarta Commons 0.4.4
Latest Version Check 1.5
LookAndFeel 1.1
QuickNotepad 4.2
SideKick 0.3.4
XML 0.13

Any way to avoid this? Should I be using 4.3 dev instead?
Whats the release plan? and how have I missed this great editor for so long? Smiling
Live-Search or Filter Plugin
Submitted by cyrus on Monday, 27 February, 2006 - 15:00
Hello,
is there a plugin that shows all contents from an open buffer that matches to a search-string?
I want all non-matching content immediately hidden, so that a seach performs like a filter.
It would be very usefull to show immediately for example all special tags in a html-file and so on...
Best regards,
Marc
How to change line spacing?
Submitted by doublebacks on Wednesday, 1 March, 2006 - 06:13
Is there any way to change the spacing between lines in jEdit?
When I use a fontset containing Chinese font and English font, the line spacing is too big, where can I adjust it?

Best Regards.
Will WSAD and other VM instance cause jEdit slow down?
Submitted by ianwu on Thursday, 2 March, 2006 - 03:49
Dear all,

I am doing some development with WSAD, and it is known that doing jsp editing on the WSAD is slow, since WSAD will launch its validator, and then do some wired things, which makes saving a JSP file taking longer than 30 sec.

My collegaues would use ultraedit to do editing and saving JSP. Me, being a fan of jEdit, would rather do JSP editing with my beloved jEdit. Unfortunately, I have noticed jEdit gets unusually slow, the CPU ultilization isn't high at all.

Could this be caused by WSAD also uses java VM to run? Will serveral VM running together compete for resources? Are there parameters that I could set in my javaw.exe when i launch jedit?

Another gratuitous testimonial for jEdit
Submitted by rowck001 on Friday, 3 March, 2006 - 02:00
Oh no!! not another rave about how good jEdit is!! Writing this here is probably preaching to the converted but IMO jEdit is simply the best platform for developing java applications I have found.

I use Linux on both my elderly Toshiba Notebook (600Mhz and 128Mb RAM) and a powerful desktop system (3Ghz and 1GB RAM) and jEdit is faaaaast and responsive even on the old laptop where Netbeans and Eclipse are out of the question with their bloated memory requirements. Even other java-written IDE's and editors run like a slug if you have less than 512Mb RAM. Adding project, ANT, Junit, Jindex and Jcompiler plugins give me a profesional, powerful environment to develop in java both for University projects and outside applications.

Love ya Slava et al .... and Linux and open-source!!!

GUI Designer Plugin would be ace!
Submitted by rowck001 on Friday, 3 March, 2006 - 02:08
If anyone could develop a Swing Designer Plugin that supports the gridbag or absolute positionaing layouts then using Jedit for GUI apps would be like being kissed on the d*#k by a fairy (the winged angel kind!)
