Hi,

I've got a strange problem. I've been using jEdit for a couple of weeks and have been really getting used to it. But last night I went to fire it up but it wouldn't run. So to cut a long story short, I've uninstalled and re-installed jEdit and the Java runtime. I've checked on whether the Java runtime was broken by giving Eclipse a run, no problem there (with no Java installed, Eclipse gave an error message, when re-installed, it ran OK). So I think I've ruled out the Java runtime as the source of the problem (but I may be wrong).

I want to get jEdit running again as it is a very good editor, so any help would be most welcome.

When I start jEdit server
(newest jEdit, development version)
on a system startup in Windows XP Home
("C:\Program Files\jEdit\bin\jedit.exe" -background -nogui)
on limited user, no administrative rights account
I have following errors when opening files:
(rightclick, open with jEdit)

This error does not occur on admin account.
How to fix this problem?

Hello, I am from spain. I am developing an application, is a editor for javaCC.

But when using Syntax package in my project, undo and redo, it doesn't responded well.
I would like to know as making JavaCCLexer for to recognize reserved words.

help me plese... thank my mail is ronytour@hotmail.com

I have some problems with the NetRexxJe plug-in. I tried to install NetRexxJe through JEdit, but it kept erroring saying that it needed other plugins. I installed all of the needed plugins and then it gave me a confusing error about why it couldn't install NexRexx.

The error was...
The following plugin could not be loaded.
This plugin does not support dynamic loading. You must restart JEdit after removing or installing this plugin.

I've tried the above on the latest and stable versions of JEdit.

Any Advice?
Thanks, Leo.

Hey,

I am working with some database file, just somthing over 10meg but I get the java heap memory exceeded. Jedit point me to the manual but I couldn't find where to change my java heap memory whatever it is. Where can I change that ?

Hi.

There is a strange behavior if you edit .php-files.

Fresh install of jEdit 4.3pre9/Java 1.5.0_11 on WinXP

Create a new file and name it test.php
Ending .php is important.

Fill it with this:
1 Tab (press the TAB-Key on your keyboard) and than write Hi that it looks like
TABHi
The tab in front of Hi is important (no possibility to write a tab in this forum nor write more than 1 blank space...)

Now put a : after Hi that it should look like:
TabHi:
with a real Tab instead of "Tab".

What you get is not what you want, you get this:
Hi:

The Tab is gone.

If you do that with a file named test.htm you will get what you want, but not with php.

I have this problem if I write css-code in html-tags in php-files.
You can ad some code to make it a real php-file (I can't do it here, tags are not allowed...).

Lu...

Hi, not sure if this is a 64-bit issue--

New user to jEdit. Looking for a Windows RoR editor. Tried RadRails, but it won't install on 64-bit.

Anyway, I tried to download/install the Ruby plugin, but I get the following errors:

Not sure if this is a "bug," or if it's a known issue. Or have I forgotten to do something. Note that this is a completely fresh install-- haven't done anything at all to it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Since I updated to 4.3pre9, the PHP syntax highlighting gets broken after encountering escaped strings. Example:

$string = "something\"";
$highlighting = "is_now_broken";

It's very annoying, especially for long files. Does anybody have any idea for a fix? Thank you.

I'm having trouble opening CP850 encoded (DOS) files...

This encoding is described in the jEdit user manual, so it should work, but no luck yet for me.

Manual: On Windows, various other encodings, referred to as code pages and identified by number, are used to store non-English text. The corresponding Java encoding name is windows- followed by the code page number, for example windows-850.

So I select Other in the encoding menu and enter windows-850, cp850, Cp850 or CP850, but whatever I try, I get an IO error: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Cp850.

Anything else I can try?

I can do a Search and Replace on all my Java source by using "*.java" in the filter field.
I can also search all my XML files by using "*.xml" in the filter field.

How do I serch both Java source and XML files in the same search? I've tried space, comma, semi-colon as delimiter and those don't work. I've searched the documentation and nothing is mentioned. Any ideas?

Hello all,

I use jEdit quite a bit and one of the features that I always use is the Marker feature, which allows me to get back to certain locations after having switched to another buffer.

Unfortunately jEdit markers create a temporary MARKS file locally for each file that has been "marked". This starts getting confusing, especially if there are many files in a directory.

I think it would be great to have jEdit, store this kind of information in a central location (such as the jEdit Settings Folder). As a matter of fact, jEdit already stores information about individual files, such as last line, in the jEdit settings Folder.

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks of this idea!

Sincerely,

Taha

Hi,

Is there a way to stop jEdit Server running at startup on Windows?

Cheers,

Dear All,

I'm running jEdit 4.3pre9 on Java 1.5.0_11 and I noticed that the File System Browser does not go to the parent directory when I hit backspace in the "File Name" text field, when there isn't anything in there.

Any ideas as to why this happened? The previous versions of jEdit never had this problem and unfortunately, no one seemed to have noticed this problem so far.

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Taha

Can I adjust line spacing?

Hello All,

Until now, I have been using jEdit mostly with C/C++, perl, java and on occasion, shell scripts.

I have used jEdit for Hardware description languages, but mostly for the syntax highlighting.

I think it would be great to start-up a plugin, specifically for HDLs that does the following:
Code formatting/beautifier
Auto-completions based on files that have been registered as part of a project (E.g. Includes etc)
Hierarchical views of module instantiations, local resources, etc
Linters (for online/dynamic syntax checking)

I have seen a plugin for eclipse that aims to accomplish all these, however, I strongly prefer jEdit and I think jEdit has a good chance of being as good for the purpose of simple editing.

I'm curious to know what others think and how many people would be interested in such a plugin.

Sincerely,

Taha

It seems that when I make a new project or 're-import' the current project empty dirs are not included. I have not found an option for changing this behavior. Is this something that is wrong with my setup or am I just not finding the option I need to change. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I've been trying to write some simple beanshell code which calls some methods from the Console plugin. In one part of this code I'm calling the following method:


runInSystemShell(view, "latex " + file);


Now in examples like the above, the program (in this case "latex") returns a process or error level number when it finishes. If the program completes without errors, it returns 0. If it encounters an error it usually returns a non-zero process code. Is there a beanshell/Java command or Console method that will return this process code?? Unfortunately, the above method (runInSystemShell) doesn't return a value so I don't know what the process code is after it completes.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have installed jEdit on my edgy Ubuntu box and unfortunately for me it does not work. On reading their documentation found at: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=compatibility#unix
It appears that I need to set my JAVA_HOME PATH. I am a Linux newbie and I have no idea how to do that. I have searched far and wide but cant find a definitive way to achieve this or much in the way of help.

All help will be welcomed

Cheers in advance

Steve
