On my Linux box, I changed the group and permissions of a file so certain other users can also edit it. My 'main group' is "david", so by default any files I create have this as the group. The common group between me and the other users who need to edit this file is called "users". I used chgrp to change the group of the file to "users". "ls -l" confirms the group is now "users". When I open the file in jEdit, update and save, the group gets changed back to "david". When I change the group to "users" again try editing the file with a native editor (e.g. gedit) the group is not clobbered on save.

I'm using version 4.3pre10, installed using the Java installer.

Anyone know how to work around this? Should I report it as a bug?

Hi,

I'm changing some largish JS source code files (5000 ~ 10,000 lines), and I've noticed that there's quite pause when I type a function name followed by a "(" character in these files.

I'd guess this is something to do with some sort of code-completion/parsing. Any insights, and how would I turn off whatever behaviour might be causing the delay?

Thanks

Sean

When I installed jEdit I chose to have it start automatically when Windows started. Now I don't want that behavior anymore. (I don't mind waiting for it to load completely on the odd occasion that I use it now.) Is there any way I can change this setting without removing it and reinstalling? [jEdit4.3pre9 using Java 1.6.0_01]

JEDIT 4.3PRE10
Java 1.6.0_02
Win2K

Problem: Program crashes when any menu is selected.

Work Around: Rename or delete sub-folder “startup” in folder “jEdit”

Hi
Here’s my two cents contribution (ok, I’m overrating this):
For invoking jEdit from Ant, irrespective of platform (i.e. not using OS specific code in Ant), it would be nice to invoke jEdit as a bare name, without extension.
Doing so it would try to launch jedit.exe in Windows and the jedit script in other OS (linux/bsd/...). But there's none in the 4.3 build.
For such purpose the Windows exe launcher of jEdit4.1 can be reused.
Here’s the procedure, step by step:
1. First be sure to have jEdit4.1 for Windows installed in the exact location intended for jEdit4.3 (if using other releases, better be sure to uninstall them first);
2. Copy to a backup directory apart the files with extensions exe, dll and .reg.txt, which where placed by the jEdit4.1 installer in the main jEdit directory;
3. Uninstall jEdit4.1;
4. Install jEdit4.3 to the previous location;
5. Copy the files from the backup directory (exe dll ...) to the main jEdit directory - notice that those files don’t have names clashing with the names used for the jEdit4.3 installation;
6. Test running the exe launcher from the command-line, and if necessary answer appropriately their initial questions by browsing to the java bin directory and so on.
I find it very useful to script in ant the editing of very large file sets. Alternatively jEdit can preserve specific work file sets.
Cheers,
Antonio

Hi, I am working with jedit 4.3pre10 using java 1.5.0_12.

1) I launch jedit and open a cpp source (the command 'file' returns 'ASCII C program text').

2) I ask for a new view of the same file.

3) In the first view, I modify a comment adding a word with an accented vowel, eg 'però' (Italian keyboard).

4) The result: I get 'per' in the right place, and the accented vowel 'ò' in a random place (sometimes at the beginning of the same line, sometimes some lines down).

Ever seen that? Any solution?

In the Find dialog I enter my search terms and then press Alt + L to search all buffers and while the appropriate radio button becomes selected, a symbol appears at the end of my search terms, thereby making me have to delete it before performing the search.

I tried this with both 4.3pre10 and 4.2 final.

What is the problem?

TIA

Hi,
I am getting this error while trying to install any plugin -
"Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror.
Connection refused."
I have tried different mirrors but all give the same error.
Any solutions? Or is there any way to manually install the plugin?

after writting a script with Jedit, i saved it with file.pl . But when i execute it , it appear message " *.pl is not valid WIN32 application". Can u you me how to execute this files. and what command can be used to execute file.pl

For Freemarker there must be square braces support too, instead or with, support of < and > braces.

I often have the task to select or delete a text (more than one line) from the actual position till a pattern to search for. If you know UEDIT there you can press "shift" and initiate the search. All the text from the current position including the string found will be marked.

I accomplished this by recording a macro and manipulating the Java code afterwards. However, if you are recording a quick macro this is much too intricate.

What did I miss?

Thanks for your help, Rolf.

hi, I have fiddled with the autoindent in matlab mode, and i come up with this:

< PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLines" VALUE="^\s*(if|for|function|switch|try|while)([\t ]*\(|[\t ]+|$).*(?!end)$" />
< PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLine" VALUE=".*?\.{3}.*" />
< PROPERTY NAME="unindentThisLine" VALUE="^\s*(end|else|elseif([\t ]*\(|[\t ]+).*|case|otherwise|catch)[\t ]*(%.*)?$" />
< PROPERTY NAME="unindentNextLines" VALUE="^\s*end\s*(%.*)?$" />

that gives something like this:
if foo
    bar
    end
    foobar

and that is wrong, but if I mark it and press 'indent-lines' (c+i) I get:

if foo
    bar
end
foobar

which is correct.

Anny idea who this can be correct on the fly?

I'm not sure if this has been covered before and/or is a current feature or plugin (searched but couldn't find anything) but it'd be nice if syntax highlighting (for perl) were able to recognize the use of the /x operator that allows a regexp in perl to ignore whitespace (and thereby, spanning multiple lines without having the regexp look for a newline). Or even just have syntax highlighting recognize regexps that span multiple lines. It's a pet peeve but I figure if it's going to be doing syntax highlighting, it might as well cover all of the features of the language.

Hi All

I see plugins for 11pre but can't seem to find jEdit 11pre. Please, where do I look?

I'm working with a fairly large shell script with lots of if statements. I'm trying to find some way of colorizing blocks of text to show my closed if statements, but I'm not having any success. Couldn't find a plugin to do the work, either. Any advice?

Whenever I try to start the jEdit installer, I keep getting the "Please install JDK or JRE" error. I've installed the latest version of JRE twice, and it still won't start. Any ideas?
