Developing Java
Submitted by shaun510 on Sunday, 30 July, 2006 - 19:13
Hey, Im new to jEdit and have a really elementary question. Ive read the documentation, but I am still a little confused about the plugin. I wrote my source code in jEdit and saved it as a .java file. jEdit then colour formatted the text appropriately even though I never installed any java plugins. Is that what its supposed to do? I thought i needed to install a plugin for jEdit to recognize my source code as java.

Thanks,

Shaun
Search/Replace broken in 4.3pre5 ?
Submitted by Baldurien on Monday, 31 July, 2006 - 18:09
Hi,

When I enter this regexp :

\b\$[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*\b

Which, in case of php, should search for every variable.

This fails. While \$[a-z_][a-z0-9_]* works.

In fact, it seems that the ^ and $ also fails (was trying to catch (^[ \t]*\S.*$)+ which failed).

Since you changed for java.util.Regexp, and since it allow us to use such expression, I wonder where is the problem?

Another sample :

^\s+$

fails.

Anyone has an idea to fix that ?
Plugin List Is Down!
Submitted by scaRFhogg on Tuesday, 1 August, 2006 - 16:25
Seems like the plugin list for the plugin manager is down!

There is an error on this page

Is this only temporarily?
Can't quit jEdit
Submitted by suntrop on Tuesday, 1 August, 2006 - 17:45
Hi,

I'm using jEdit 4.2 on Mac OS X (10.4.7). When I close the application
via the red dot (don't know if it has a name) in the upper left corner
and then want to quit jEdit, it doesn't work. I always have to go over
Cmd+alt+esc to kill it.

Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my installation/Java machine?
reload directory hotkey
Submitted by metric152 on Tuesday, 1 August, 2006 - 22:17
Does anyone know if there is a setting I can map a hotkey to for "Reload Directory"? I've tried looking through the configuration screen and I can't find one.
Show/Hide Columns in the File System Browser
Submitted by mkuehn on Wednesday, 2 August, 2006 - 15:33
Is there any way to select which columns are shown in the File System Browser? I'm open to installing a plug-in, editing a configuration file, whatever, to add this functionality.

I thought this existed in a previous version of jEdit. Or am I wrong?

Thanks,
Matthew
Outline sidekick plugin
Submitted by turtlecove on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 00:23
I installed the 'outline' plugin to quickly browse text outlines.
(jEdit 4.3pre5, sidekick 0.6.4, outline 1.2)
For most text outline shows nothing at all, just 'Not Parsed'. This is even though the folding indicators in the main text are working just fine. For the one case where I can get it to show a tree, it messes up the folding levels. For every change in the tabbing it always makes a sub-level, ie: a new level further indented to the right no matter what is actually in the text. For example:
  • Mainheadline
    • indent1
    • indent2
      • indent2.1
    • indent3
    • indent4
is shown in the outline sidekick as:
  • Mainheadline
  • +--indent1
  • +--indent2
    • +--indent2.1
      • +--indent3
        • +--indent4
I can use the folding commands in the main text (ie: control-e c and control-e x) and they properly show the indenting.

Does 'outline' not do what I think it does?
Printing PAGE BREAKs
Submitted by turtlecove on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 00:33
Can I embed a PAGE BREAK in a text file for jEdit?

I am trying to use jEdit to maintain a large file to be printed on 4x6 index cards. I need to be able to mark the start or end of the next page for printing.
Edit Modes: Highlighting Attribute Keys In an HTML Tag
Submitted by hurricanedavid on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 19:32
I would like to color html attribute keys a different color than the tag names themselves. I'm actually going to be hoping this comes across to my coldfusion coloring, and I think the right way to do that is change the html.xml and then delegate it into the coldfusion.xml.

I"ve been using jEdit for about a year, and have done small mods to the edit modes. I've also read through all the edit mode documentation in the help.

Which command will help me color the attribs differently?

For instance:

[form name="XYZform" action="index.cfm"]

(using brackets instead of gt and lt so I won't get weird display.

Right now, "form", "name", and "action" are the same color. I want "form" to remain as it is, and "name" and "action" to be caught by a rule in the colorer.

None of the current methods of matching look like they would work. Though I'm sure something will, I'm just not used to the way the edit modes think.

Can somone help point me in the right direction?
Excluding directories from search
Submitted by Mischan on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 23:25
I often use jedits hypersearch through big directory structures (eg. to find references to old datastructures or import-like language constructs, after fundamental rewrites, etc.). While I'm very fond of hypersearchs speed, there are directories i want to exclude from search, because they contain lots of irrelevant data (eg. caching directories) and therefore delay the search to no avail.

Now my favourite solution to the problem would be, to write a simple config file (like every newline a separate dir) "ExcludeDirs.cfg" or something, where search could look up directories that must not be visited recursively. After some browsing through the jEdits code I found the class VFS. There I would, for a quick personal hack, introduce an ArrayList that loads the "ExcludeDirs.cfg" and a boolean member that tells the class if the exclusion mechanism is necessary for its current use (because, VFS isn't used by search only). Inside the function listFiles I could add something like

if(!ExcludeDirs.contains(canonPath))
// recursive call to subdir

and hope that it works.

Now, before i start, i would like to hear some comments. I'm a complete jEdit starter so I don't know what the idiomatic way to solve this within jedits framework would be or if it could be solved with a simple extension mechnasim like a macro or plugin (or it is already there and i couldn't locate it). From my personal feeling VFS seems a bit too low-level for the task, on the other hand it's the only approach i can think of, that manipulates jEdits code directly without changing one interface. Furthermore i could think of other tasks where configurated exclusion of directories at this abstraction level could be relevant.

Thanks in advance

Submitted by urh on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 23:45
I cant delete text or code in jedit with delete or key above enter on keyboard and also cant do new line with enter and so on.. The only way to change text or code is: mark it first and then rewrite it with new text / code.

fixed ftp plugin for 4.2?
Submitted by pataphysician on Saturday, 5 August, 2006 - 00:45
hi. according to this thread:

http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2263

there's a 0.7.5 ftp plugin for jedit4.2 that addresses the connection pool issue. is that available anywhere? if not, is 0.7.2 available? i'm working with someone who's hosted at godaddy, who only allows 2 concurrent ftp connections. i can't even browse or create a directory without getting booted. i know 0.7.7 for jedit4.3 is supposed to work, but i'd like to stick with 4.2 if possible.

thanks!
ProjectViewer doesn't maintain file list
Submitted by djames on Sunday, 6 August, 2006 - 04:32
After importing files into a project, there is not an obvious way to "save" the project - save appears to save any open files only. When I close and re-open jEdit, the imported files do not appear, and have to be re-imported each time. What am I missing?
4.3pre6 on OSX 10.3.9
Submitted by sheeps on Monday, 7 August, 2006 - 00:52
Both the explicit mac version and the java installer for all platforms are built for java 1.5, which means that I can't run them at all.

I assume that this is a mistake, since java 1.4 is the 'declared' minimum for jEdit (and used to work Smiling)
Cannot disable Jedit startup on log in to Windows 2000
Submitted by phfeenikz on Monday, 7 August, 2006 - 05:20
Ive looked in the Global settings, the documentation, Google, Yahoo, msconfig, win.ini, system.ini, boot.ini, any services that start up on login, and I'm stumped. I even disabled the lone option to open recent files on startup, so I'm absolutely mystified as to why Jedit always opens up whenever I logon. Can anyone tell me how it's done(out of curiosity), and how I can disable it?

Sorry for the repost - I think my initial post was in the wrong forum.
