Love JEdit. Would love to see synchronized scrolling.

In the feature requests forum it was said that feature requests are better posted to the tracker on sf.net.

So I think the forum should close and be replaced with a link to the tracker. Respectively the advice "Please do not submit bug reports to the forums ..." should be expanded for feature requests.

Hello.
Can JEdit highlight FreeBASIC, QBasic or any other BASIC dialect code?

I've installed the Xinsert plugin, and I can modify its options, all the dependencies are installed, everything seems to be right, but its functionality seems to be totally missing. When selecting it on the plugins menu bar, its just 1 entry and it does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

In case you're not happy with the standard icon set, I've uploaded a new icon pack to the Icons and Images section which should give you a more natural looking OS X app. The pack (and instructions for making jEdit look and feel as much like a native OS X app as possible) are also available at my Web site. (Just want to get as many Mac switchers as possible using this great editor!)

Hi all, Is it possible to write a macro that can return the xpath of the element or attribute the cursor is located at? For example, given the following xml document, and assuming the cursor is located on the Target element, the macro would return the string: /Links/Link/Target Link 1 label /htdocs/images/coffee_cup.jpg I can not find this functionality in the XML plugin or elsewhere. Possible? Thanks, Paul

Hi All,

I thought I'd give you some simple instructions so anybody should be able to
replicate the problem. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.

The problem is that if try to type something like:

[TAB]if ()
[TAB][TAB]System.out.println("blah: "+blah);

As soon as you try to type the ':' the whole line will shift over to the
left.

First it has to be saved as a .java file, if it isn't saved as anything
it'll happily work correctly. So create a simple, valid, .java file
and try to add the above lines to it. I have my jEdit set to not use spaces for tabs.
And you have to use tab(s) at the start of the lines.

As soon as you type the ':' The whole line will indent to the left.

Now delete the System.out.println() line, and this time type it
again, but skip typing the ':' and finish the rest of the line, then
go back and add the ':', it will work fine and won't indent the line.

How crazy is that?

I'm looking at the code, and trying some things, but it's still hard to
track down.. It doesn't seem to be a key translation issue, although
it does say:

9:04:13 PM [error] KeyEventTranslator: Invalid key stroke: C+e C+`

Thanks,

Joe Siebenmann

One feature that I thought would be useful is to have an Opacity controlled "window" plugin.

The plugin would only be useful when docked into one of the defaut positions. However once docked it would have options to control a level of transparency; allowing you to see your desktop of whatever operating system your using. In my case, I like to run PuTTY at the same time as jEdit for running PHP scripts. What I would like to do with this transparency window is to be able to control the PuTTY shell/window through the "window" plugin without minimizing jEdit.

Basically like punching a hole through the jEdit program. Because desktop control would stay as is depending on the operating system and jEdit wouldn't have to be minimized or render any desktop applications specifically. The only thing jEdit would do is provide a hole to see through to your desktop then you could run and use desktop applications normally(the applications would be external to jEdit so if you minimized jEdit you would still be able to use the applications as you would normally).

I don't think this is possible yet, but it would be a nice feature in my opinion.

Although, last I remember Java was still working on a way to control desktop applications using Java, I'm not sure if this has progressed or not...



Anyway, its just a random idea I had. Comments are welcome.

...there's an active jEdit community, but this forum gives the impression discussion is slow/dead. It's also somewhat unfriendly to newcomers as a fair number of threads never get a response.

Hi I'm using Debian sidux and Java 1.5 which is installed under /usr/bin/java. I've changed the JAVA_HOME and PATH variable as required. Nevertheless I'm getting the following error message when trying to start Jedit from a console with typing jedit &: GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL! GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL! Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError <> I've 2.5Gb Mem installed. What am I doing wrong? JJ

I can't get the XML parser to work with jEdit 4.2 final on a new Windows installation. Otherwise, jEdit runs fine.

When I try to use the plugin with an HTML file, I'm told that xml.parser.HTMLParserImpl didn't load because the class xml/parser/XmlParser wasn't found. Seems like those slashes should've been dots. The stack trace is at the end of the message.

I also get an error message, at the same time, that org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl wasn't found.

After this, I have to use the Plugin manager to unload the XML plugin before I can type greater-than characters into any buffer that the XML plugin normally works with. Also, none of the functionality of the plugin is available.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

I am using a program called MUP, which compiles music graphics from text files I have been editing in JEdit. There are currently MUP syntax highlighting files for VIM, EMACS and KATE. I'm wondering if there is any way to convert any of these files into a mode file that JEdit can use. Or if there is a good tutorial out there on the way in which these type of syntax files are set up. It's obviously a problem that has been addressed by a number of programs in a variety of ways, but it's pretty much greek to me.

Also, if there is an intro to console tutorial somewhere, I'd like to check it out. The MUP compiler runs from the command line, so I'm thinking it should be possible to get it to compile from the console in JEDIT, but I'm not at all command-line savvy.... Ideally, I'd like to just compile from a key-command.

Any help welcome!

Hi,

For some reason JEdit hijacked my ctrl+alt+j combination to start up, where can I change this (to Windows + J for example?)? It's quite an important shortcut for me in other programs, and I couldn't find it quick enough in the global settings, and didn't disable the shortcut on stopping JEdit Server so I had to uninstall unfortunately.

Thank you in advance...

I know that the docs claim that if you turn off the "two-stage save" mode, jEdit should preserve hard links and file ownership and so on, but this doesn't work for me. If I save a file that is hard-linked from elsewhere, the link is always broken as if I had two-stage save turned on. Can anybody else repeat this?

I'm using 4.2Final with Kubuntu 7.04 and Java version 1.4.2-02.

Hello guys

I downloaded jedit to use for my java programming studies! I use mac but i have no clue how to run the program!! I dont know how to compile, where to write the java code, its a bit confusing, it doesnt look like this picture http://jedit.org/index.php?page=screenshot&image=22

P.S. im just starting my "hello world" program.

thanks

I have just downloaded JEdit and the JCompiler plugin. When I try to use JCompiler I get a BeanShell error followed by the message - Java Core Plugin. The "Default" service is not available. Possibly the plugin providing it has been unloaded or removed. Switching to default.
I would guess that I'm missing something that is basic but I am obviously quite thick and any help would be most appreciated.

How do I get to the class or method that control the Highlight. when you save as "example.java" the extension will know that it is a java program other extensions are Java,xml,php, perl.etc. example of what I am saying is below.

public SyntaxStyle getStyle()
{
if(!okClicked)
return null;
Color foreground = (fgColorCheckBox.isSelected()
? fgColor.getSelectedColor()
: null);


When I save a new file as "example.java" Those color on public, getsysle etc. should not appear again.

I have tried all the GlobalOptions, SyntaxHillit, and others I cannot find it. I am a babe learning.
