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. There is no JcrontabPlugin item in Plugins menu. jEdit produceses errors caused by this plugin like: [error] JcrontabPlugin: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/eb/.jcrontab/jcrontab.properties (No such file or directory) [error] Cron: at java.lang.Class.forName0 (Native method) [error] Cron: at java.lang.Class.forName0 (Class.java 141) [error] Cron: at org.jcontab.data.DataFactory.(DataFactory.java:52) ... and so on I don't know exactly what does it meen.
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!

Treat c- as c++-files
Submitted by flowerjt on Friday, 3 March, 2006 - 13:08
Dear jEdit users, I want c-files to be exactly highlighted as c++-files without always changing buffer options. In v4.1final this was the case but after upgrading to v4.2final it is treated in a different way. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Does jEdit have Autocomplete for C++?
Submitted by Zdravko on Sunday, 5 March, 2006 - 11:37
Does jEdit include some kind of code autocompletion? Let's say I have a C++ object and I want by typing: obj. to have all member functions listed. Or for example when I type :: to have every function in that namespace?
Why do I get two instances of jedit in the taskbar (windows xp)
Submitted by Craig Schmidt on Monday, 6 March, 2006 - 15:33
I had been using jedit without any problems. However, a few days ago I started getting two instances of jedit whenever I start it. That is, there are two applications called jEdit in the task manager, there are two icons that appear in the task bar, etc. The two copies of jedit sort of stay in sync. (They update themselves to have the same files open.) If you quit one, the other quits as well.

I don't have any sessions defined except "default". To my knowledge, I didn't do anything to get this behavior.

I start jedit with the following shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\javaw.exe" -mx96m -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar"

I'm running windows xp.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Craig Schmidt
Automatically run Ant on the default target of the build file for frontmost buffer (Run.bsh v1.0 by Philip Weaver)
Submitted by philmaker on Tuesday, 7 March, 2006 - 09:47
It's kind of cumbersome to have to switch between ProjectViewer and AntFarm during development. So I created this simple macro (3 lines) to allow me to press command-r to run the nearest build file for the frontmost buffer. You'll also need to create a keyboard shortcut yourself.

The script assumes that AntFarm and ProjectViewer are docked in the same pane. Whenever AntFarm runs, its panel becomes visible automatically, so the macro quickly switches it back to ProjectViewer (which I always leave open.)

If you have any questions or would like to enhance this, feel free to contact me at philip at philmaker dot com. All of this is documented in jEdit help:

Date Tag Buddy (Date_Tag_Buddy.bsh v0.2 by Ralf Kintrup)
Submitted by RalfK on Tuesday, 7 March, 2006 - 11:12
[READ THIS USING THE MACRO MANAGER] Updates certain date value tags in an HTML buffer (the current edit mode must be "html"): 1. Updates the date value of a modification date tag:
Last modified: 01 Mar 2006
2. Updates the year in a copyright text: © Me 2006 Updates all "includes" in an HTML buffer. An include is defined as two HTML comments where the first one contains the path to a file that should be inserted between the comments: The path can be relative, as in the example, or absolute. Included files may contain date tags. The date tag and "include" updates can be automatically updated when the buffer is saved. Therefore install Ollie Rutherfurd's ActionHooks plugin (http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?ActionHooks) and set it up: 1. Add the Date Tag Buddy macro to the "BufferUpdate.SAVED" event list. 2. Configure the ActionHooks plugin to start up with JEdit. This ensures that date tags and "includes" are automatically updated whenever the HTML buffer is saved. A modification tag is identified by
and
. A copyright text is identified by © and . The macro assumes that the date value is located at the end of each tag. To change the default behavior of the macro you can modify the constants at its end. Checked for jEdit 4.3pre3 API.
OS-X "open" command suddenly stopped working with jEdit
Submitted by patb on Tuesday, 7 March, 2006 - 14:31
Help please! I've enjoyed using jEdit under OS-X but I suddently cannot open files from the command line and I don't know how to troubleshoot this.

For months I've been using this csh alias to open files in jEdit from the command line:

je: aliased to open -a ~/Applications/jEdit\ 4.2/jEdit.app !*

For example:
csh: je junk.txt

This suddenly stopped working. jEdit will start but will not load the specified file. Of course our system adminstrator installs software updates from Apple all the time, but I can't tell whether this is a failure of Apple's "open" command or a failure of jEdit. Has anyone else seen this problem?


If I explicitly run the jEdit executable like this:

~/Applications/jEdit\ 4.2/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub junk.txt

then it mistakenly starts a NEW file named junk.txt in the jEdit install directory.

Only if I give the full path to the existing file will it open it:

~/Applications/jEdit\ 4.2/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub ~/junk.txt

Any help is much appreciated.

Remember encoding used in open buffers
Submitted by jere on Tuesday, 7 March, 2006 - 23:24
I have default encoding UTF8. When I have opened files, set buffer encoding to eg. win1250, close jEdit and start it again, it again use UTF8 instead of win1250.
