It would be really handy for the Find dialog to be dockable - I find it really handy to leave the dialog open while stepping through search results but at work I'm often stuck with limited screen real estate so the dialog obscures the text area.

I just installed jEdit v 4.2 Final on a new machine. I have used jEdit for many years and I always install the ProjectViewer plugin, but it is not available in Plugin Manager for this version when I download the Plugins. I located it on a separate website and downloaded it but am not sure how to install it as I always used the jEdit Plugin manager in the past. I installed other plugins through jEdit's Plugin Manager and the option to have them installed to the jEdit settings directory was selected, but I cannot find the jEdit settings directory in the C:\Program Files\jEdit main directory anywhere. Can someone help me understand how to install ProjectViewer and why it is no longer included in the Plugin available through jEdit's Plugin Manager?

I want to use jEdit to replace our old TextArea component in an custom Java Ide, I have been able to create the textarea in an empty frame and load java mode to have syntax higlightning (I was unable to load it from the jar, but it is working).
Now I want to add code completion to the text area I have seen that I should use JavaSideKick to do that but as far as I see there is no way to load plugins in the TextArea version (PluginJar is missing and it seems to use some kind of connection that TextArea does not have).
So I ask for help here, maybe I am missing something or someone has any idea on how to load plugins in an Standalone TextArea?

Hi all,

when writing a schript (or program) with jEdit I would like to have a list with all variables used in this script. Does jEdit provide such a functionality? I haven't found such a thing.

Tanks for your help.

I have been using Jedit for a few years. Thanks.

My question is about how recently opened files are listed in the buffer pull down list. I believe at some point they were listed alphabetically, but now (mine) are listed by most recently opened.

Is there an option for making the list of opened files alphabetical?

Hi people,
I have had jEdit installed on my comp for two years or so, and for the last months I've been using it intensively for making web pages : my main benefit from jEdit was to easily spot details of CSS properties, as I had the content of the style="" attribute displayed just like CSS in a .css file, green prop names and pink/red/blue values.

Now for no good reason yesterday I decided to update jEdit to 4.2 final and behold! I have lost all embedding functionnality. I used to almost never mind jEdit settings, so I'm not sure what my previous install was, I do remember I kicked off out-of-date plugins (one or two) after 4.2 was installed.

I've been trying any kind of plugins and modes since yesterday, including "A colouful HTML" which does NOT work well at all (for my 4.2 at least, random HTML tag color choices, same for CSS) but I couldn't find anything that would do it.
I'm in dire need for retrieving an equivalent of my previous install, and much frustrated that an update threw me back to the stone-age of editing comfort. I could try another editor, but hey, I feel familiar with jEdit and I'd prefer trying it all before waving it bye-bye.

Any clue or direction is very welcome.

(As a side note I'll add that the css.xml that comes with a 4.2 final fresh install doesn't even work properly : in pure CSS files I've noticed some properties names, like "top", are mistaken with values).

Hello,

How i cab create a global object in Macro ?

In my case, i create a TelnetWrapper object with the connection, how I can create a global object, becaus i dont' want to process the reconnection, i prefer to re-use my previous object ?

For example :
step 1 : i launch my macro, i create the TelnetWrapper object_toto with the connection.
step 2 : i launch again my macro, but i want to re-use my object_toto without re-connection

It's poossible ?

Thw very much

Hi,

I use jEdit to code html and to write html formatted content. For writing content jEdit html mode proves trying and detracts from focusing on the content, and the content logic or flow. I'm searching for a better solution where the header tags h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6 are highlighted. This supports connection of the content logic. It also enables faster orientation in the page and much less time spent looking for a specific page point.

Are there alternatives to offer the highlighting or an easy orientation on the headers? InfoViewer does not highlight (html) headers hence not offering relief.

Or is there another possibility to use?

Thanks for your help- Gary Gabriel

thank you

I've been using jEdit for many years with no problems. I was using 4.3.15, I think, and wanted a plugin that required 4.3.17, so I installed the new version. When it starts, the splash screen gets up to the "run startup scripts" and then stops. I've installed in a new folder with the same result. I don't see any log files in the installation folder - is there anywhere else I can look to find out what is going wrong?

I have XP/sp3, Sun JDK6 default and other Sun JDKs (1.5, etc) installed.

Hi,

Is it possible to save login credentials for the SVNPlugin? It's a real pain having to type my login details every time I do some kind of SVN action.

Hi,

I would like to be able to work more effectively and use Infoviewer with Firefox as external browser for .html texts. But I can't seem to find the right configuration. I get the following errors with the last configuration that I tried:

[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: (external): openURL: file:C:\2009\Temp2009\20091Pub_SisA7_LeadManage_Scribd.htm
[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: args[0]=C:\Programme\MozillaFirefox\firefox.exe
[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: args[1]=file:C:\2009\Temp2009\20091Pub_SisA7_LeadManage_Scribd.htm


If someone could give me a tip on what to tweak; i would appreciate it. Or a tip on where to look for more info- I tried the plugin help, and the wiki.

Thanks- Gary Gabriel

hi all,

i have a problem creating a mode.
i'd like to have some highlighting on the log and i've created this:

http://www.pastie.org/569660

but whenever i put anything like a regex special character (e.g. "\d") in the "end" tag, it selects everything until the end of the page.
for instance, "line " or "line 1" works ok, but "line ." is screwed

any ideas?

I just updated my Windows XP jEdit from 4.3pre16 to 4.3pre17, and the new version doesn't remember its window size or position. I deleted my settings directory and let jEdit re-create it, but the problem persists. I assume that I've doing something wrong, but what?

Thanks,
Gary.

I sometimes like to have multiple untitled buffers open at one time. Is this possible in jEdit?

It appears that once a single untitled buffer open, no additional buffers will be created.

Thanks!

I had a functioning installation of jedit, but something changed and now it won't load.

The splash screen appears and most of the start-up steps seem to complete successfully, but when it gets to the "run statup scripts" stage it stops loading indefinitely, without any cpu activity.

I'm using 4.3pre17 on WindowsXP.

Some things I've tried:

- Starting from the command line with the -nostartupscripts argument

- Deleting startup.bsh, which (apart from readme.txt) is the only file in the startup folder.

- Uninstalling and re-installing jedit 4.3pre17

- Uninstalling, deleting the jedit program folder, and re-installing.

- Uninstalling and installing 4.2

In all cases it still won't get past "run startup scripts"

Is there a settings directory or registry entry that I should also be deleting to perform a complete uninstall? Or does someone have any ideas about how I might otherwise fix the issue?

I miss jedit.
