Hi,

jEdit and it's modules are under GPL.

Would the copyright owners of jEdit HelpViewer dual license it under Apache license, too or would they offer a commercial license?

Thanks,

I upgraded to the new release of 4.3, doing a temporary macro it does not register END/HOME in the macro.

eg:

abcdef

press home, type 111 pres end type 222. screen shows "111abcdef222"

macro shows only

textArea.setSelectedText("111222");

I had to get around this by binding a key to go to end of line/start of line.

I did not test what other keystrokes it was ignoring.

Parsing using Sidekick or CtagsSideKick plugin is not possible with new version of jEdit:
jEdit 4.3 final
java 1.6.0_13
SideKick 0.8
CtagsSideKick 1.4

jEdit 4.3pre18 was ok

Same problem?

Hello,

I need to be able to use multiple instances of jedit to work on completely separate projects. I was getting by well enough doing View menu/New View and then closing all the open files in the buffer of the new view and setting up the File Browser as I need it. However since the last update if I open a new view, and open or close files into that view's buffer, the files also open/close in the previous buffer, so basically both views are identical which doesn't help for working on two separate projects.

Is there any way to open completely separate instances, or at least get the old view behavior back?

Thanks!

Beginner's problems:-

I have installed JEdit to experiment as a cross-platform editor for both *.php and *.lzx (XML format with *.dtd validation).

My OS is Windows Vista.

I guess that I need to setup several projects to test code on different localhost servers:

apache httpd on port 8080
apache tomcat on port 8090
caucho resin on port 8100

Installed plugins ..

PHP Parser
Project Viewer
SQL
XML


But I cannot get started with even the basics of setting JEdit to launch phpinfo.php in localhost mode. http://localhost:8080/test/phpinfo.php (this URL runs o.k. when manually pasted into any browser. I can also preview this same simple test file in editors other than Jedit.


The phpinfo.php test file is located in:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\phpinfo.php



I created a simple test project "phpinfo" and in Project options I have

Project name: phpinfo

Root Directory: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs (note: excluded the \test\ folder)

Web root URL: http://localhost:8080/



But I cannot preview this phpinfo.php from Jedit to browser !

When I right click phpinfo.php in project phpinfo in Project Viewer and select "Preview in browser" I get a popup error message:-

Cannot run program "mozilla": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified. Please fix your external app configuration.

I have no external application associated with extension *.php.

Options: Plugins: Info Viewer: Choose Browser

external browser radio button selected.

but the command below reads ..

netscape -remote openURL($u) -raise


How do I set up an association with preview browser firefox.exe?

and how do I setup to switch preview between several different browsers?


firefox
Internet Explorer
Opera
etc.


Options: Plugins: Project Viewer: External Applications

what application(s) should I associate here with *.php (and other extensions)?

php.exe or php-win.exe or php-cgi.exe or firefox.exe .. or others?

If I associate *.php with another text editor that launches from Project Viewer.



Finally .. unrelated glitch. If I force shut down of JEdit using the [X] close top right toolbar button (which I should not use, I know) I see a very long (not wrapped) indecipherable error message in Jedit popup window ..

with separate Windows popup error message reading ..

"The color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista basic. A running program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of Windows".

This apparent incompatibility with Vista does not occur if I use the correct shutdown JEdit procedure of File > Exit. Not serious .. just annoying.

Hello, I love Jedit and want to start developing some macros in Python, but Im getting some errors.
When I try to open the jython interpreter, It just says loading... and never opens.
I'm guessing this is also related to the error messages I get when attemting to run any Python Macros

Jython Error:
an AWT error occured running Jython
Traceback (innermost last):
(no code object) at line 0
TypeError: readonly class or attribute: view

And my environment:
Jedit 4.3
Windows xp sp3
Python 2.6.1
jdk1.6.0_17
jre6
javafx-sdk1.2
Jython2.5.1

Thanks in advance

The welcome message in Console.System Plugin reads ..

"Press TAB with an empty command line to list built-in commands.
Run built-in with --help argument to get a brief usage message.
Run %help to view Console plugin online help".

But running jEdit in Vista .. I see nothing when I press TAB.

%help does launch help.

How else can I list built-in commands?

Hi, I am from South Africa and started using jEdit in the last week. Can anybody out in the community tell me how do I tidy any 3rd party pasted PHP source code in the editor window. Normally in most other editors you just highlight all the source code, right click, and select 'Tidy Source Code' but I can't find the equivalent command in jEdit. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have just installed jedit and am thrilled with the software and appreciate this very much. Now I have installed 4.2 on Suse yet, because the management was included in the package.

How can I jedit update from 4.2 to 4.3??

Or do I install 4.3 from scratch??
How can I install the software from the Sorce code in Suse??

I love jEdit and recommend it to everyone but over the last 5 years a LOT of people left jEdit and have been wary of using it because there was so much time between releases. They felt like it wouldn't be supported and they'd have to switch late in the game to another platform/ide. So just wondering...why did it take 5 years to get to 4.3?

Hi,

I'm new at jEdit and i even just installed this program today. I took all the plugins, but i'm getting this error message: "Cannot run 'global'. Please set the path to 'global' in the plugin options."
I've looked at the plugin options at the menu globalplugin. There i see on the top line: "'global' path and a text box, with global in it. I guess that's what the error-message means, but what am i doing wrong? Or is it somewhere else i have to look?

I have a number of options/arguments to to be selected in a commando UI window.
The selected arguments are concatenated into a long command line (as in java.xml commando example).
However the number of arguments to be selected creates a UI with too many lines and too large a height.

Can I add a scroll bar and/or additional tabs to a custom commando UI?

.. to be placed in %USERPROFILE%\.jedit\console\commando\ ?

There are already two default tabs which show in the commando UI window -
"Settings" and "Commands" -
so it must be possible to insert extra tabs.
e.g. Settings 1, Settings 2, Settings 3, Commands

But I don't see any syntax for "scrollbar" or "tabs" in Commando help.
And what sets the width/height dimensions of the commando UI?

Thanks for any tips on extending the UI.

I've been using jEdit 4.3pre14 under Tiger, and it has worked fine. Very recently
I moved to Snow Leopard X.6.2, which uses Java 1.6.0_17, and installed jEdit 4.3.
It works fine except for one thing: when I 2-click on a text file (to which I've
associated jEdit.app) from any file manager - Finder, Path Finder or muCommander -
jEdit comes up, but with no file loaded. I then have to Open the desired file
separately.

Is there some setting in Preferences, or maybe in Java, that I need to configure?

Thanks for any suggestions.
