After updating Java to version 6 update 15 on Windows Vista (Ultimate, 64-bit), I realized that I had jEdit 4.2 installed and decided to update it to the latest version (4.3pre17) because certain plug-ins weren't working as expected. After installing 4.3pre17, I'm getting the following exception when trying to launch jEdit:

When I used JEdit 4.3pre16, it used to open its window the same size and position and on the same monitor as it was when I last quit the program. (I use a two-monitor system.) But 4.3pre17 always opens in the middle of the primary monitor and always quite small, so I have to drag it larger. Evidently a setting has been lost in the update, but I can't find it.

What's the setting to make Jedit remember its window settings from the last time it was run?

Running on WinXP (SP3), Java 1.6.0_15.

I plan on installing Mac OS X Snow leopard tomorrow. Does any one know how jEdit is going to react? I know jEdit is sensitive to Java updates, so I was just wondering if I should expect any problems updating the OS. I am going to school working toward a Computer Science major, so I NEED jEdit to work .

Hi all, My jEdit is not putting the underscore in the editing text area - it puts a blank space in its place -. Here's the keyboard test output: Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x10,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 filtered Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x2d,keyChar=0x5f,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 filtered Event KEY_TYPED,keyCode=0x0,keyChar=0x5f,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 passed ==> Translated to <0,5f> Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x2d,keyChar=0x5f,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 passed Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x10,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x0,consumed=0 filtered Could someone help me? Thanks, Diogo

Hi ! My OS is Fedora 10. I'd like to get Jedit up and running so I can use the Lilypond plugin. So, I followed instructions at the Lilypondtool web site: http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/86.html It told me to install Java Runtime 5.0 and gave instructions which I followed. Then to get Jedit 4.3pre16 or later. I downloaded 4.3pre17 It took me hours to finally get Java installed, I think. When I give this command in terminal: update-alternatives --config java I get a listing which shows three java files. The Plus (+) symbol is on jre1.6.0_16 and when I give this command in terminal: java -version it also lists jre1.6.0_16 This is what's it's supposed to be for Lilypondtool. Then I installed Jedit4.3pre17install.

But, when I try to run Jedit from terminal, I get the following: Invalid initial heap size: -XmsM Could not create the Java virtual machine. Anyone using Jedit in Fedora who can help me with this ?

Hi all! I'm a noob user, and am having trouble selecting lines between two points. In example: ----------- In the macro, I might want to start the cursor at the first div open, then use the search function to find the close so the cursor is at

The TaskList plugin (version 1.1.0) doesn't work when the Gtk+ Look and Feel is enabled; parsing the buffer, if there are any tasks embedded in it, causes the plugin to crash, and the activity log reveals a NullPointerException, but fails to locate it. TaskList works fine under Metal; it's only under Gtk+ that it crashes.

I see that the commands C-" and C-/ scrolls line but keeps the current line the same, so it disappears off screen if you scroll up down too far, and then if you use UP Down or similar navigation commands the screen jumps back to the current line.

I want a scroll line that keeps the current line at the same position on the screen, meaning if I scoll one line up, the current line also move one line up. Just like C-Up is done in NP++ and Cream.

I wish I could chose the color of the caret and the color of the char inside the caret. So a block caret would be a real block, as it is in vim or even in konsole. The block caret should be a solid color, say black, when on empty char, and when on a char, the char is displayed against the block caret's color, like white on a black caret for example.

Hi,

I want to operate jEdit on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS, installed latest JAVA environment and the latest jEdit. At double-klick the program does not start (even with administrator rights and simulating an WIN XP SP2 environment). Another post said you need to delete perspecitves.xml in the folder "Settings". Problem is, there is not such a folder, nor the xml-file. Does anyone has experience with operating jEdit under WIN VISTA Home Premium? It would be very sad to miss jEdit as it looks very promising.

Thanks in advance for any help & best regards from germany

Hi everyone! I recently switched to Mac after having used jEdit on Windows for years. Everything worked fine with 4.2, but using the touchpad for scrolling on Mac was a real show stopper. This should be solved with 4.3pre17, so I tried to install it. The first time I tried to start the Mac app the splash screen froze. Every subsequent time it stopped one second after starting. This happens both with the Mac OS App and jedit.jar from the Java-based installer. If I try 4.3pre16 everything works fine. Deleting the configuration directory doesn't help. Any ideas?

I also tried this with older versions of JEdit an the ftp plugin, e.g. with JEdit 4.2final and ftp 0.7.3. It doesn't work either, though throwing a different error. I even downloaded the latest version of JSch and replaced the version in the jar directory of JEdit, resulting in the same error message. I don't know what's going wrong, maybe somebody out there has any ideas? Please help cause I'm out of options...

Thanks in advance,

In Leopard I want to open files (txt, css, html, etc) with Jedit. Jedit opens but with empty screen, file did not open. I have to open file manually.
How to tell Jedit I want the file to open when I click on file? Leopard knows I want to open some files with Jedit (told Leopard with file info)

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to automatically hide docked views when they no longer have focus. I remember there used to be a plugin for that functionality quite a while ago, but it's no longer compatible with the latest version of jEdit. I also think better "intellisense" and code completion would be a major plus. A lot of times I have to keep switching between jEdit and the Java API docs because I can't remember exactly how a certain method is spelled. It would be much easier if I could see a list of methods pop up as soon as I type '.'

Hello,
I found it fast while jedit openning a txt file and displaying it even the file is large, why?
I use text to append the StringBuffer, also use MappedByteBuffer, but it's not as fast as jedit.
Would someone tell me some...?
Also My email: ts.nirvana@gmail.com
Thanks very much.

Hello,

i want to use jEdit as an external editor of Code Composer 3.1. I have tried a lot of things but nothing works. Especially i want to set up a line parameter which tells jEdit to go to a specific line.

Here you will find a screenshot of the configuration dialog of Code Composer for external editors:
