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

When you use an array inside of double-quotes in PHP, the brackets cause the variable highlighting to stop.

For example, the following statement:

$agi->exec("Playback hip/spons/$row[cid]");

The text "$row[cid]" should be blue, using the standard color scheme. Instead, however, only "$row" is blue and "[cid]" is pink like the rest of the string.

I'm using the latest version of the php.xml file from the repository.

I'd try to fix this myself, but don't feel comfortable enough with regular expressions to tackle it.


Thanks,
Joel

I like to known, if exists some version or plugin for jEdit in spanish, for the GUI and documentation.

I'd like the header of my printouts to include the entire path to the file, rather than just the filename. (I work on projects where many files have the same name.)

Is this possible with stock jEdit, or will I need to write a plugin to do this?

Feel free to move this to the Feature Requests forum if it fits better there...

Would anyone know if an SVN plugin is available for jedit? That would be very cool.

Hi all,

I am trying to find a plugin/macro to show (in the status bar) how many lines/characters are currently selected. I'm sure someplace I saw a plugin for that but now I cannot find it. Any ideas?

Also, I'd like an option to trim spaces (on save would be great), is that an option or plugin someplace?

Thanks,

Using jEdit 4.3 pre 9, in my python code, escaped quotes (\") are confusing the syntax highlighting. For instance, in the line req.write(" ") Everything is normal up to the first \". The [" ] is black, then from [")] on throughout the program up to the next quote on the next line is considered a string. So everything is pretty much reversed after that. It's very annoying. I've been forcing them to PHP mode just so my eyes don't go crosseyed with all the pink code. Is there an update to the python syntax highlighting? I tried comparing the Python and PHP configs, but it was too confusing for me to follow. I did find http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1930#1625 which is relevant, but it isn't explicit enough on how to fix the problem for someone who hasn't worked on the mode files before. Besides, I can't be the only one who'se seeing this. Thanks.

hi,
i don't know what forum i should ask this in so i'll put it in here, sorry if it shoulsn't be, i was wondering does anyone know when i can access the changelog for jEdit i'm doing a little bit of research for a project and it would help if i had a changelog to see how its developed over time. Thanks for any help.

I need some help if possible.
I have a perl lib file that causes jedit to hang whenever I open it (runs CPU to 50% and I have to kill the task to get out of it).
I am running on windows and running version 4.3pre9 (my linux box running 4.2 does not seem to have the same issue).
Is there a way to figure out what it is in the file that is causing the hang up? I have tried saving the file in another editor to try and mess with the formatting, also attempted pulling it off my server via SFTP to reload the file and it still hangs.
Any ideas I can try to track down what causes this?

I'm trying to add special coloring for #ifdef (etc.) in Python files. These constructions are not a part of standard Python, hence not included in the standard jEdit Python mode. That is, my intention is to use the built-in Python coloring for all the normal Python keywords etc., and to extend this by adding a different coloring for #ifdef etc.

I did the following: to my user's 'catalog' file (i.e. the one in c:\documents and settings\<username>\.jedit\modes) I added the following line:

<MODE NAME="python2" FILE="python.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.py" />

Then I created in that same directory a file python.xml, which leaving out the usual stuff has the following:

<RULES>
<IMPORT DELEGATE="python::MAIN"/>
<KEYWORDS>
<KEYWORD4>#ifdef</KEYWORD4>
</KEYWORDS>
</RULES>

(I tried to indent the above, but I'm not sure how to do that in this forum...) And of course I set a special color for KEYWORD4 in jEdit's Utilities | Global Options: Syntax Highlighting.

If I'm understanding the documentation in the jEdit Help, this is the recommended way to extend a built-in coloring.

But it doesn't work. That is, I don't get any special coloring for #ifdef, only the normal Python coloring.

I have ruled out a number of things that I could be doing wrong. Specifically, I get #ifdef colored appropriately (as KEYWORD4) if I leave out the <IMPORT DELEGATE> line--but then I of course don't get any of the normal Python coloring. I have also verified that there are no KEYWORD4 tags in the original (as-shipped) python.xml file.

So what am I doing wrong?

I've got six or seven buffers loaded, and all work but one. When I try to display that particular file, the buffer is blank. I can go to the top of the file, and move the cursor down line by line; each line will appear until I get to about line 10, when a "BeanShell Error" msg appears. And it literally says "Can't happen". Some comfort...

I've tried closing and re-opening that file, closing and re-starting jEdit, and even rebooting my PC. Nothing works. At this point the file in question does not seem to be damaged on disk, but I certainly can't use jEdit to edit it.

There's a rather lengthy error msg. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible to copy it to the Windows clipboard. It starts out (I'm typing this in by hand, so no guarantees that I haven't made a mistake):

java.lang.InternalError: Can't happen
at org.gjtsp.jedit.syntax.TokenMarker.handleRule(TokenMarker.java:412)
at org.gjtsp.jedit.syntax.TokenMarker.markTokens(TokenMarker.java:158)
at org.gjtsp.jedit.Buffer.markTokens(Buffer.java:2115)
and so on for hundreds of lines.

I would attach the Activity Log, but it is nothing short of huge.

Suggestions on how to fix this are welcome...

Hi i beleive this is a java problem but i hope that someone has experienced this and might be able to help me. Here is the problem:
I am using Gentoo linux and jdk 1.5.10. When i write latin symbols in jedit everything is ok, but when i try to write cyrillic symbols or romanian, or polish special characters nothing happens - nothing is displayed in the editor field (not even jibberish or squares or anything - the cursor doesn't move at all). When i paste them from another program they are displaying fine.
What could be the reason for that and how can this be fixed. Please if somebody knows something about that help me.
Thank you

I can't get Jedit to output a tilde. I shuffled through forum messages and this seems to be a perennial problem, so this is just a bump to see if there is anything new.

The problem:
Minor: with the normal us keyboard, no tilde
Major: with the us international keyboard, most deadkeys can't be typed: ' " ~ ` ^

Under Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) I can switch keyboards to the US standard to resolve the Major problem (annoying, but an acceptable workaround: the US international keyboard works fine everywhere else except Jedit). However, I still can't get the tilde even under the US standard keyboard.

Is this a Linux problem? Jedit worked fine in Windows.

Here is some data:

Jedit 4.3pre9 Java: 1.5.0_11
Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy)
Compaq presario R3000

Keyboard troubleshooter message: filters the character.

I have been using jEdit alongside the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE (MSDEV) application for quite some time now, whilst writing embedded apps simulations PCs hosting XP.
Some time ago I bolted together a support tool that detected compilation log creation (.plg files generated by MSVC when compiling C/C++ projects) and then opened and parsed the errors & warnings.
From this data a bsh script file is generated, an then executed by jEdit to populate the ErrorList plugin's window accordingly.
So I can compile within another IDE, but edit and correct code within jEdit. Quite handy.
I later extended this tool to collate PC-Lint analysis results (also invoked within the IDE) in the same manner.

A typical example of the bsh file generated by the tool is as follows (I have only included a single addError invocation, but this is enough to demonstrate the script format):

//-----------------------------------------------------

import org.gjt.sp.jedit.*;
import org.gjt.sp.util.*;
import org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.OptionsDialog;
import org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import errorlist.*;
import java.util.*;
import gnu.regexp.*;
import console.*;

void run()
{
void log_errors()
{
errorlist.DefaultErrorSource errsrc;
errsrc = new errorlist.DefaultErrorSource("MSVC");
errorlist.ErrorSource.registerErrorSource(errsrc);
jEdit.getAction("error-list-clear").invoke(null);

errsrc.addError(ErrorSource.ERROR, "C:\\my_projects\\hw_if\\control\\ctrlapi.c",944,0,0,"LNT787: (Info -- enum constant 'DTV_PL_ASIG_AV_IP1_AUDIO' not used within switch)");

errsrc = null;
}

if(jEdit.getLastView() == null)
VFSManager.runInAWTThread(this);
else
log_errors();
}

run();

//-----------------------------------------------------

The problem I have here is that I wish to extend some of the messages in the plugin output to be multi-line, but I cannot see how to use the addExtraMessage method with the preceding code - can anybody explain how I would modify my bsh script output to permit this?

PS - if anyone else out there running a Windows OS also wants to generate errors/warnings in jEdit from externally generated files, then let me know!

I love jEdit, it resembles my all time linux editor Kate with the window splitting. jEdit has many functionalities, but one that could aid a programmer in getting work done _how_ they want to, would be:

On keyPresses deleting left or right bracket (from ex:" (test) ") would find the first closing or opening bracket and delete it as well. If the word 'test' was another longer word, moving the cursor to the beginning or ending of the word by means of arrow keys or CTRL + arrow keys takes longer to perform since it has 2x as many presses of the backspace button.

One change doesn't make a difference, but if your going through a stack status conditions and there's a lot of manipulation going on, it would come as a great help;

I hope you implement it. I am hooked on jEdit while on 'doze.

Thanks
