Need someone to maintain the JTA plugin
Submitted by poleta33 on Friday, 9 February, 2007 - 13:15
Hi

The JTA plugin is the ONLY features that really miss to jedit : it consists in having multiple connections onto differents servers to execute commands (much more powerfull than the console plugin which is limited to the current station you use)...

so this plugin is not maintained anymore... if someone can try this challenge !

Toggle comment instead of insert comment
Submitted by ZortTheMighty on Friday, 9 February, 2007 - 23:26
Could you please change the Line Comment (Edit > Source > Line Comment) and Block Comment (Edit > Source > Block Comment) actions to toggle comments instead of simply adding them. i.e. If the selected text is already marked as a comment then remove the comment marking.
Problem with drop down boxes on website
Submitted by ZortTheMighty on Saturday, 10 February, 2007 - 00:05
I'm using firefox 2.0 and all the drop down boxes have a width of only one character. I can't see what options there are to select! Is this the same for you other firefox users? If so please can one of the site admins fix this.

On a related note, there doesn't seem to be any way of contacting the site admins from this website, only the forums are available.

A site map would be nice too, if you can add that to the todo list that will be choice.

XML parsing complete, 1 error(s)
Submitted by McSwell on Tuesday, 13 February, 2007 - 15:29
When I switch to one of my buffers that contains XML code I've written, I get a msg down on the status line:
XML parsing complete, 1 error(s)
How can I get it to tell me more about the error? (like what line it's on) I tried xmllint, but it claims no errors.

toggle fold
Submitted by McSwell on Tuesday, 13 February, 2007 - 16:40
I would like to assign a shortcut key to toggle fold. Thus, if the caret is on a line where it makes sense, ^T (let's say) would collapse the fold if the fold was already open, and expand it fully if the fold was already closed.

I don't see any obvious way to do that--there's no command in the Global Options | Shortcuts list that jumps out at me, although I could have missed it. (Nah. I thought I was wrong once, but turned out I was mistaken.)

I suppose I could write a macro, if I knew how to tell whether the current fold was folded or unfolded (and whether the current line was foldable). There must be a way, that's what the little triangles in the gutter do. But I'm not a Java programmer...

I googled this without finding anything obvious. Thanks for any pointers!

strange behavior of the ftp-plugin
Submitted by vik on Wednesday, 28 February, 2007 - 09:06
Hi,

i'm using jEdit on a Windows XP SP2 maschine.
when saving small files via ftp-plugin to a unix-host, everything works fine.

If the file size increases up to ~3kB i receive execptions like:

java.net.SocketTimeoutExceptionjava.net.SocketTimeoutException

or

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error


This happens also in several combinations of jre ,jEdit and ftp-plugin, eg.

jre_1.5.0_06 and jedit_4.2 final with ftp-plugin 0.72
jre_1.6.0 and jedit_4.3pre8 with fpt-plugin 0.8


Any ideas or help?

Thanks a lot, vik
REQ: Editable fold stings
Submitted by wrongway on Wednesday, 28 February, 2007 - 16:23
I am looking for a feature to allow me to change jedits default fold strings from {{{ }}} to something like { }.

I used to use the customizable folds plugin, but that hasnt worked since 4.3pre2. It appears something changed in the api, and the plugin is no longer actively developed.


Someone PLEASE help... Jedit is the best editor on the planet, and it can no longer do automatic folding...

Can XML plugin be configured to use a specified schema?
Submitted by guyr on Thursday, 1 March, 2007 - 19:35
I'm attempting to use the XML plugin to edit OpenLaszlo files (http://www.openlaszlo.org). The problem is that I cannot include the schema name inside the Laszlo source file; Laslzo won't accept that. Is there any way I can identify to the XML plugin that when it sees files with an extension of .lzx, it should automatically use a particular schema? Thanks.
Comment indentation
Submitted by iutinvg on Friday, 2 March, 2007 - 04:21
Hi,

jEdit indent the comment block as following:
/**
* Blah...
*/

Is it possible to make him do it as following:
/**
.* Blah...
.*/

Did anybody find a way todo it without patching?

Thank you very much for advance!
modifying xml mode breaks auto-complete
Submitted by McSwell on Friday, 2 March, 2007 - 21:54
I copied the xml.xml mode file from the jEdit install directory to my .jedit directory (under docs-and-settings: this is on Windows). Then I slightly modified it by altering
<SPAN TYPE="LITERAL1" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE">
to
<SPAN TYPE="LITERAL1" NO_LINE_BREAK="FALSE">
for the case where Literal1 is begun by (and ended by) a double quote. (I did this to get the coloring to work right in a .xsd file, since quoted materials can easily span multiple lines.) I then altered the 'catalog' file in that same dir to refer to the local xml.xml file, by copying the entry for xml files from the catalog in the install dir.

But that seems to have broken the auto-completion, and auto-indentation as well. In particulary, when I type a tag
<foobar>
it used to be that jEdit would automagically supplying a close tag, giving:
<foobar></foobar>
(with the cursor conveniently placed between the two tags).
But with the modified xml.xml file, jEdit no longer does this.

Do I need to do s.t. else?

Macros for working with Partials (Partial_Macros.zip v0.2 by Panya)
Submitted by Panya on Friday, 2 March, 2007 - 22:04
1. Open_Partial.bsh

Opens partial which name is selected (to select independently not necessarily if nothing is selected, selects the word under caret).

Example:

<%= render :partial => 'form' %> # select "form"(without quotes) and use macro will open _form.rhtml

2. Create_Partial_From_Selection.bsh

Creates a partial from the selected text (asks for the partial name without _ and .rhtml) and replaces selected text with a <%= render :partial => 'partial_name' %> erb fragment.

Including other files in a plugin?
Submitted by dmnapolitano on Sunday, 4 March, 2007 - 05:11
Hi, I'm new to plugin development, and I've got a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to. The plugin I'm working on requires several (non-Java) files, and I'm not sure how to include them with my plugin. I'm fairly certain that I need to add something to build.xml...I just don't know what Sad

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Diane
Use of # character in temporary buffer names
Submitted by mderouss on Sunday, 4 March, 2007 - 22:40
Not sure if this is a bug, but it's a problem for me.
I'm trying to use Infoviewer to view the output of an XLST transformation.
But the output of this transformation is placed into a temporary buffer, with a name that looks like '#Untitled-1#'.
Infoviewer appears to be treating the buffer name which it is fed as a URL. The presence of the '#', which is an unsafe character in a URL, therefore causes it to display a directory listing for the path up to the '#', which is perfectly reasonable behaviour for a browser under normal circumstances.
I can see two possible resolutions to this.
Firstly, Infoviewer treats a buffer name ( as opposed to a file name ) as something other than a URL. Might be architecturally tricky.
Secondly, JEdit ( if it is JEdit, as opposed to the XSLT transformer ) doesn't autogenerate temporary buffer/file names which would be invalid in URL's. This seems eminently reasonable.
So, what does the committee think - is this a bug ( and if so in what ? ), or a feature request ?
And on a related note, does anyone know a better way of achieving what I want to achieve ( automatic HTML preview of XSLT transformer output ) ?

Thanks,
Mark
Column selection
Submitted by BigNate on Monday, 5 March, 2007 - 17:25
I'd like to be able to select columns (vertically). I've seen this in one of Microsoft's Visual Studio editors (version 6 if I recall) and it is incredibly useful. Holding down a modifier key like shift, control or alt and dragging a rectangle across multiple lines should select columns (ie. cols 3, 4 & 5 across several full-length lines) which can then be cut/copy/pasted across multiple columns, inserting the text into the middle of multiple lines. This is very useful for HTML as well as programming code, allowing a developer to paste a list of variables or parameters into several lines of similar code.

Is there a way to do this already or to have someone implement this functionality in jEdit?
printing with folds
Submitted by AlexCory on Friday, 9 March, 2007 - 19:10
jEdit 4.3pre8 using Java 1.5.0_09

Hello,

I'm using a plugin called the Configurable Fold Handler in jEdit. It comes in handy for wrapping up code in the window using little triangles in the left sidebar. I tried to print my code today where I had a fold inside of it. I didn't expect the fold to print out since it was folded. I expected it to print out 1 line where the fold was displaying, but it actually printed out the entire contents of the fold.

Is there a way to print what the buffer window EXACTLY looks like so that it doesn't print the fold contents? if not, could this be implemented with a future release of a plugin?



to redo this issue:
fold a piece of code within your normal fold tags, for me thats { /* open and } */ close. Configurable Fold Handler should use regular expressions for this aka. \{|/\* and \}|\*/ I'm using php but I'm pretty sure this issue can arise in C,C++,and Java.



Thanks,

Alex Cory
