I was using jedit 4.2 and now tried to transfer to 4.3pre8 , but when starting Jedit , I cant see anything, and only if I pass on the screen with the mouse it will show the screen - this is true only for the icons and other jedit stuff, the files themself can't be seen anyway !
thanks

What is the best plugin for formatting XML files? I tried using JTidy but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to not put in a line break in between every line. TIA for any help.

Hi,

I've started using the Console plugin (with the ErrorList plugin) to build our project. First, I must say that the Console plugin is really great - it is very easy to configure to support other tools (e.g. g++), and it simplies working with jEdit a lot.

The problem is that the output of my build process, which is quite large, is displayed in the Console plugin very slowly (much slower than the Linux shell), and this slows down the build significantly. Any idea why this happens or what I can do to fix this slowdown?

Also, from the documentation of the Console plugin, it seems like it tries to match all the Error Patterns until it finds a match. Is this the way it works? While it may be good enough for most purposes, there are several problems with this:
1. Lines which do not express errors in the output of one tool, may express errors in the output of another tool. So if I'm running the first tool, I may get false errors because its output is also matches with the other error patterns. (Probably rare, though)
2. The output is probably slowed down by several redundant pattern matches.

Since the Console plugin cannot really know which tool is generating the output, it can either try all of the Error Patterns or rely on the user to indicate which Error Patterns to include. When I run "make", I only have "g++" output, so I don't need to match all other patterns (I've added a 'g++' error pattern manually). When I run Perl, I only have Perl output. I can erase some error patterns to exclude them, but I think the Console plugin should enable the user to select the active error patterns to use (e.g. using check-boxes or using disable/enable buttons below the Error Patterns list), to avoid unwanted pattern matches.

I need to fine all commas (,) and replace them with a new line/ carriage return.

for example: jim,jane,john,joe,kelly,kent,kimberley
becomes:
jim
jane
john
etc....

HOW?

in BBEdit I can
find: ,
replace: \r
done.

but jedit doesnt respond to \r, \n, \r\n it just literally replaces the , with \ r \ n !
ie: jim\rjane\rjohn\rjoe\rkelly\rkent\rkimberley !

And where is the best place to find active JEdit users? Is there an irc channel anywhere?

Hi!

I'm using jEdit to edit files (almost Perl) which resides on Unix servers who are placed in strong secured areas in our company.

The only way to access these files is to use a special server over which i have to establish SSL tunnels to the servers.

This means that i'm always connecting over one server on different ports.

I save these connections as favorites and unfortunately they all, for example, look like this:
'sftp://user@server:55010/usr/ldap'
'sftp://user@server:55020/usr/ldap'
'sftp://user@server:55030/usr/ldap'
'sftp://user@server:55040/usr/ldap'
'sftp://user@server:55020/prj/ldap/scripts'
'sftp://user@server:55040/prj/ldap/scripts'

This could be connections to four different servers - ports 55010,...,55040 (e.g. production, test, etc.).

Until now i have 12 connections defined who all look like the example above.

As you can see this ist very confusing, very unclear.

If there where the possibility to enter labels for favorites or for ftp-connections it would be much easier for me.

In Ultra-Edit there's a possibility to name (to label) connections (i used Ultra-Edit before).

Do you think it's possible to create a feature like labeling or naming favorites or ftp-connections?

Thanks

I've created a couple of macros for the excellent Cheat RubyGem (check it out: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/). Download 'em from here:

I have created a macro for jumping between related files in a Rails project. The macro figures out what file you have in your buffer and offers a popup list of other related files that you can jump to. There is a brief screencast demonstrating the macro that you can view on my blog: http://marioaquino.blogspot.com/
