Displaying Chinese Unicode Text on English Windows XP
Submitted by ticktock256 on Saturday, 6 January, 2007 - 18:04
I can't get my Chinese text to display in jEdit on English Windows XP SP2. Asian language support is installed. Sun Java 1.4.2_13. See my attached screen shot:


http://www.bluevertex.net/imgrepub.php?category=jeditbug&filename=jedit_no_chinese.png

Note that the Chinese displays correctly in Windows Notepad. It also displays properly in Eclipse so it can't be a Java/Unicode problem. Note also that the buffer options for the file recognize it as a UTF-8 file.

Any ideas? I'm really hoping to use something lighter weight than Eclipse and jEdit is perfect...
Remove_Comments.bsh v1.0 by Jakub Roztocil

This macros removes all comments from the buffer or from selection(s), if any. Doesn't work with javadoc style comments (nested markup isn't removed).
superAbbrevs: How to break out of a macro?
Submitted by malibu on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 17:30
Hi there.. I understand that superAbbrevs doesn't support nested macros. However, I was wondering if people could tell me what they are doing in the following situation:

If we have a macro like the following (Perl):

foreach $1 ($2) {
$3
}$end

Given that there is no nesting, how do I break out of the macro when my cursor is at $3 so that I can add another one? The only way I've found is to go to $end, type a space, and then arrow back inside the brackets. If I could just press 'ESC' to get out of the macro with the cursor at that point, it would be awesome. I'm not sure if I would even need nesting at that point. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Trying to setup jEdit to enable me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have them compiled with mzscheme.
Submitted by airfoil on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 21:11
My Goal: To be able to run the PLT mzscheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the contents of the current buffer.
Problem: Can't get my commando file to show up in list of available commandos
Reference:
jEdit Help: Chapter 5. Commando
User-specific commando files are loaded from the console/commando subdirectory of the jEdit settings directory.
Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory should be called after files are added or removed in the user-specific commando directory.
Plugins>Console>Browse Commando Directory opens the user-specific commando directory in jEdit's file system browser.
You can find out the location of the settings directory by entering the following command in the system shell of the console
window:
%echo ${JEDIT_SETTINGS}

What I did:
1) Placed a minimal commando file named mzscheme-commando.xml in C:\Documents and Settings\kyle\.jedit\console\commando
2) Tried to find Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory, but was unable to locate in jEdit GUI.
3) Searched vigorously through jEdit Help for any relevant information regarding rescanning Commando Directory, and why I wouldn't have that menu option available.
4) Finally decided to ask user group to see if anyone with more experience could help me achieve my goal of running the PLT MzScheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the current buffer, whether it be through custom commando files or by other means.

Question:
Where is the Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory option? I can't find it.
Is a custom commando file the way to go in order to setup jEdit to allow me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have that buffer compiled/interpreted by my mzscheme processor?

Any help would be appreciated.

File Browser in 4.3pre8
Submitted by jhaefner on Wednesday, 10 January, 2007 - 01:58
I'm using 4.3pre8 with Java 1.5.0_10 and Ubuntu 6.10 and have noticed the following behavior:
(1) when I open the file browser by, for example, doing
file->open; I get an error message on the terminal:
[error] DefaultInputHandler: Invalid key stroke:

(2) When I use the File browser filter with for example,
*.c
I get the correct filtered list, but if I use
FU*
I get no files showing, even when there are files that begin with FU...

Anyone else see this behavior?

JExplorer & Java 5
Submitted by undiexs on Wednesday, 10 January, 2007 - 14:12
JExplorer does not work under the following:
Windows XP, Java 1.5.0_09, jEdit 4.3pre8 (also test under 4.2 Final).

Fundementally, I am looking for the eclipse CTRL-SHIFT-T functionality where I can search the libraries for a class (I think Xrefactor used to do it, but not in Java 5). I find that with Maven* doing the builds for me, that this is the only thing I miss about eclipse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Pete

PS * Maven plugin does not seem to work either... Maven 2, Java 5 (pom.xml ,etc.).

Here is a post of my activity log:

XML Plug-In Not Generating Errors
Submitted by machineghost on Wednesday, 10 January, 2007 - 22:52
I recently switched over to using Linux, and as a result had to re-install jEdit. However, for some reason (I suspect because something got broke in a recent revision) the XML plug-in no longer generates errors (in the errorList plug-in), even when there are some (for instance, when there is an unclosed tag). Does anyone know how to fix this or when it will be fixed? Or even how/when it got broken? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Installs okay from binary, Won't install from build
Submitted by jax on Thursday, 11 January, 2007 - 18:45
I built the current jEdit source.

It builds okay, but when I try java installer.Install , the dialogs come up, I fill out the paths, click to proceed, and a dialog pops up, "Stream closed". On the other hand, the installer I download as a binary from the website works. What am I doing wrong?
ErrorList plugin does not work properly wit Samba mount
Submitted by johnatmsd on Thursday, 11 January, 2007 - 19:32
The file for XML error messages in the ErrorList window shows up scrambled like:
\\wztis015\u01\app\OpenDeployNG\etc\wztis015\u01\app\OpenDeployNG\conf\internet\dev\doogle-edition_test.xml

The path to the DTD file is prefixed to the XML file path.
When I click on a message a blank buffer is shown, obviously because the file does not exist.
This looks like a bug to me.
Any ideas ?
Switching buffers in OSX
Submitted by Jeff Day on Friday, 12 January, 2007 - 02:44
I just upgraded to 4.3pre8 from 4.2 and I noticed that now when I click on the dropdown to change buffers and type a letter or two to jump to a particular buffer on the list, it actually types those letters in the buffer as well as using it to select from the buffer list. (e.g. I am working on an file called 'index.php' and I want to switch to a file called 'add.php'. I click into the buffer list at the top of my window and hit the 'a' key. The buffer changes to add.php, but also types the letter a into index.php, so I have to go back and delete/undo it.)

Has anyone else experienced this, or, even better, found a way to fix it?
Context Help plugin in OSX
Submitted by Jeff Day on Friday, 12 January, 2007 - 02:50
I was trying to get the Context Help plugin to work in my OSX copy of JEdit, and to be honest, the documentation just went entirely over my head. I found this link about a JEdit PHP function look up macro which seemed like it would do just as well, but it seems to be written for Windows machines. Have any OSXers gotten this puppy up and going, and is there an M that I can FR or can you help me through it?

Resizing the main window on Fedora
Submitted by chmac on Saturday, 20 January, 2007 - 19:22
I've installed Jedit 4.3pre8 and Jedit 4.2 on Fedora Core 6 and I have the same problem with both. The main window open arounds 800x600 pixels, and if I resize the window or maximize it, I just get empty space around the window. The application stays the original size, and the space around it is unusable.

I've seen screenshots of Jedit and obviously you can use the whole screen! I'm using Sun's JDK v1.5.0.9 with the jpackage compatible rpm. Other Java apps are running find.

I've searched but can't find anyone with a similar problem or a solution. Can anyone suggest any routes of investigation or solutions?

Cheers - Callum.

Command Line Plugin
Submitted by dhotson on Monday, 22 January, 2007 - 05:34
Hi,

I'm pretty new to writing plugins for jEdit. So please don't flame me. Smiling

I want to write a plugin so that I can right click on a file or directory in the file browser and have a command line program run with the path of the selected file/dir passed as an argument. I'd like the output displayed in a popup box (or similar).

The command line programs I want to run in particular are:
svn status
svn log

ie programs where no input is required (except for command line arguments)

Could anyone give me a hint as to how hard this might be? I can code in java, so I don't mind implementing it myself.

Just a few hints to get me going would be enough. Thanks! Smiling
