jEdit cleanup
Submitted by metric152 on Thursday, 27 April, 2006 - 01:11
I've been using jEdit for the last two weeks and it's a great program.

It seems a little sloppy about cleaning up the temp files (*.ext~) when the program closes.
Is there any way to have the program delete those on exit, or do I have to remove them by hand?
How can I load a Buffer
Submitted by zhang_tx on Thursday, 27 April, 2006 - 13:40
I'm writing a plugin for jEdit. In the plugin, I need to get File content by path, My code like this:

Buffer _buffer = jEdit.getBuffer(path);
String content = _buffer.getText(0, _buffer.getLength());

but this code caught NullPointException.
Then I found that the _buffer is unload:

_buffer.isLoad() = false;

so my question is how can I get a Buffer by path and load it,
or how can I get File content with the file path.

I'm the beginner in JEdit plugin develop, I hope if some kind man can help me with this problem, SOS, whoever you are, thank you very much!Smiling
Highlights the current function in CodeBrowser
Submitted by Manil on Thursday, 27 April, 2006 - 19:28
Hi all,

I want to know, if we can have a highlight on a current function in CodeBrowser, it will be usefull to know where we are in the code when we are editing a function. I don't think it's a hard thing to implement juste locating the position of the pointer and comparing it to the position of the functions....So if anyone thought about it, can you let me know or may be i can try to implement it, but i'll need to be in the developpement team probably...

Thx for any answer
How can I use a single buffer to load file content from several files(more than one)
Submitted by zhang_tx on Friday, 28 April, 2006 - 02:17
I'm trying to write a plug in for file content analyse, and I need to show contents of several files(more than one) in a single buffer, I tried a lot, but I can not do this job successfully, because the file to open is very big, so I want to use jEdit's Buffer object to do job, can some one give me any advice?
I tried to do in this way:
1. open each file I want to use by:
Buffer buffer = jEdit.getBuffer(aPath);
if (buffer == null) {
Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
buffer = jEdit.openFile(null, null, aPath, false, props);
} else {
// close if this buffer is currently
// visible in the view.
//if (buffer != null){
EditPane[] editPanes = panel.getEditPanes();
for (int j = 0; j < editPanes.length; j++) {
if (editPanes[j].getBuffer() == buffer) {
LogPump.textArea.append("Comming close buffer \n");
jEdit.closeBuffer(panel, buffer);
LogPump.textArea.append("Buffer closed for 1 time \n");
break;
}
}
}
2. than use Buffer newBuffer = jEdit.newFile(view) to get a untitled buffer,
3. than use Buffer temp = jEdit.getBuffer(path) to get every file's buffer I need
4. than use String test = temp.getText(0, temp.getLength()) to get the file content
5. than use newBuffer.insert(0, test) to insert the file content to the untitled buffer

But in the 4th step, I found that I can not get the Text because the Buffer temp is not load, so my question is how can I load a buffer for disk mannually, I've tried the buffer.load() method, but it doesn't work, how can I do ?
more sophisticated 'select between quotes'
Submitted by silverquick on Saturday, 29 April, 2006 - 05:17
I was playing around with Lee Turner's script (which appears to have started here: http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1128), and because I work with PHP I wanted one to recognise both single and double quotes, and there's also the problem with his that if the caret is between quotations, the space between them gets selected. The latter's not that big of a problem, but trying to allow for both types of quotes is tough.

I thought I had it with this: basically track all openings and closings of quotes in the buffer prior to the caret (in PHP a ' inside "..." doesn't count and vice-versa), and if a quote is open at the caret, search after the caret to find its mate, and select between them. But then if a comment contains apostrophes or irregular double-quotes, this won't work! I could get very complicated and detect comments, but this is language-specific and what I've been thinking from the start is that it would be nice to abstract the searching from the quote syntax.

So my real question is: is there a way for a macro to interact with jEdit's syntax highlighter? It's a waste for my macro to do the work of finding quoted sections when jEdit has obviously already done the work. I'm envisioning methods get the token type of the text under the caret, get the boundaries of a given token section, etc. I've tried looking through the API docs, but (1) I'm don't really understand how the highlighting engine works, and (2) it all feels a little over my head. I am pretty green with Java.

Thanks for reading!

An Office / Silk icon mix (jedit_windowsofficesilkmix_icons.jar v1.0 by various)
Submitted by Denyer on Sunday, 30 April, 2006 - 16:20
For anyone who'd prefer jEdit to look and feel more like a regular Windows application. To use, simply copy the .jar file into your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory and restart jEdit. Some icons from Silk by Mark James. Built for jEdit 4.3pre3 but I think should be fine with earlier versions, and seems okay with later pre-release versions as well.

nu-B : please advise
Submitted by ekips on Monday, 1 May, 2006 - 22:22
Hello,

I am a complete newbie to developing GUIs, and using Swing in general. I am trying to embed a simple text editor into my current project that would allow for basic syntax highlighting and line numbering.

I am wondering if there is anyway to embed jedit with a small subset of its existing features, or if someone might be able to point me in the right direction... I think I may need to look into *EditorKits from swing, but I am still getting my bearings with this project...

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

CSS Plugin Help
Submitted by gkterry on Tuesday, 2 May, 2006 - 12:03
I am having some difficulty getting the CSS Editor Plugin to work. I am using the latest development version of jEdit on Win XP with Java 1.5 U6. When I attempt to add an element in the CSS editor, everything appears to work as expected (including the preview) until I click the Add button. Then nothing happens. This occurs whether I am creating a new element or attempting to modify a previously created element after parsing.

I have totally wiped out the user settings and the jEdit program several times. Once I installed the program with just the CSS Editor plugin with the same result. I've noticed that this doesn't work on 2 different computers.

Am I missing something? Thanks for the help!

Bug in JARClassLoader when loading directories as Resources
Submitted by ssaBrec on Wednesday, 3 May, 2006 - 18:46
Trying to retrieve a directory using:

URL url = class.getResource("org/foo/bar/definitions");
JarURLConnection connection = url.openConnection();

causes an IOException thrown by PluginResURLConnection.connect()

Perhaps the openConnection call shouldn't try to get getResourceAsStream ? Just let the caller validate the Connection's contents. Basically, right now, it seems that retrieving a directory and then iterating through its entries is impossible?
SWI Prolog
Submitted by vale on Saturday, 6 May, 2006 - 02:11
Hello,
I am new to JEdit and I was wondering if someone already have thought about integrating SWI prolog into JEdit or can help me with my starting problems:

First I edited modes/catalogs so the syntax highlightning works automatically with the file endings of my project, adjusted the prolog.xml for my needs and filled with additional keywords of swi-prolog. this worked quite well.

Then I tried the simple task to integrate the swi-shell into jedit by using the console plugin. So I started "swipl" in the System-console, which also starts the swi-prompt, but right after I get thrown out again with "ERROR: Stream user_input:8: Syntax error: Unexpected end of file". I guess there is a simple solution to this lying behind some adjustments of the console-plugin...

Further, I want to use the ErrorList-plugin to attach to swi (is this possible/usefull/hard, can it show the line of the error in the buffer) and make shortcuts to common prolog commands like "consult" aso.

Thanks for any help.

Jedit showing . characters
Submitted by kannan.ekanath on Wednesday, 10 May, 2006 - 13:18
In JEdit,
The editor is showing a "." instead of EOL character and a ":" whenever the word wrapping happens. Although sometimes desirable i want to TURN THIS feature off. Is there anyway i can do this?

I tried playing with the global options, buffer options and the forums but cudnt find something though.

Thanks,

Problem configuring jEdit
Submitted by ionial on Thursday, 11 May, 2006 - 00:17
Hi!
I've installed jEdit with few plugins and trying to use JExplorer.
I've ProjectViewer working OK , created new project with bunch of java files.

Then I wanted to see its model in JExplorer - but I have a feeling that it just doesn't parse the
files (the icon never changes).

What should I do to get JExplorer working?

Sort Lines (editplus style sort) (Sort.bsh v1.1 by Yuan Wang)
Submitted by p8er on Thursday, 11 May, 2006 - 07:35
Sort selected lines or whole buffer (when nothing is selected).
This is just similar to the sort function in Editplus 2.
Features:
  • Order - Either ascending order or descending order.
  • Starting column - Enter a column number from which the sorting operation begins. The text before this column number will be sorted when string after the column is the same. Enter an integer value great than or equals to 1.
  • Case sensitive - The case-sensitive comparison option.
  • Remove duplicates - Remove any duplicated line after the sorting option.
