Extended Plugin manager
Submitted by kathywhitton012 on Tuesday, 14 December, 2010 - 17:11
Hi,

That would be cool for the plugin manager to :

1. select only plugin available for the current version of jEdit
2. disable all plugin that can't work for the current version of jEdit

I remember the customisable fold handler that didn't work from 4.2 to 4.3...

Also, if we could have an update manager ala Firefox Bon Echo (2.0), that would be the best Eye-wink

(Anyway, I don't know if it's the first thing I would do if I were developping for jEdit)

too many apps opening at startup
Submitted by koszta5 on Wednesday, 15 December, 2010 - 21:21
Hey,
I am running jEdit on Mac OS and it got kinda broken on the mac for me. I have like 60 files opening at startup (there was some error at first bu a ignored it and let it run and it caused a one more new empty file to load at startup. Now if I run it with -nosettings I am fine but otherwise it opens and crashes out of memory (obviously).. I couldnt find the file with jEdit preferences on MacOS... no xml saying what files to load on startup... Where is it located on Mac OS? (I know where it is on windows...)
thank you very much
Mojo::Template edit modes
Submitted by Krassimir berov on Sunday, 19 December, 2010 - 17:25
Hi, all. Today I made edit modes for the Mojolicious Web Framework Perl. https://github.com/kberov/scratches/tree/master/tools/jedit/modes

I made two files. The first(mojo-template.xml) is just for embedded perl which can be used with any type of template and will highlit only the perl code. The second (mojo-html.xml) is for html and uses the MAIN rule from mojo-template.xml.

I looked at other implementations like asp.xml,rhtml.xml,php.xml and combined examples from there so the new mode files are pretty small.

However there are some issues which I can not resolve my self an will be glad to hear from you: Here is one: When in the edited file there is code like:
    <% if ($article->has_tags) { %>
        This entry was tagged <%= tags_links $article %>.
    <% }%>

the delimiters "<% and %>" between the first and the last delimiter in the showed example are not highlited properly. I could not find the chunck of XMl solving this in php.xml for example. Any hint will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Option to order buffer switcher list by time last edited
Submitted by greghk on Sunday, 19 December, 2010 - 20:38
I keep dozens of files open in jEdit. At any given time I'm usually
flipping between a small subset of them. The buffer switcher orders files alphabetically,
so I often have to switch repeatedly between files at the beginning and end of
the buffer switcher list which means scrolling the list if both files are not visible.
ctrl+` is okay for switching between 2 files but I'm usually in a slightly bigger loop.

alt+f alt+f brings up the recent files list. It's order eludes me but it is not ordered by time last edited. I can change the order by reloading files but this is extra key strokes and doesn't keep up
with changing patterns of file use.

Anyone have any other existing solutions? I suspect this could be done in a plugin. Any existing plugins? If not I'll submit a formal feature request.
Install Import of manager.php fails
Submitted by Bruce.Eckstein on Sunday, 26 December, 2010 - 20:40
I have installed Sun Java jre_6.u23-linux-i586-rpm on CENTOS 5.4 on a Dell Latitude E4310 laptop. I installed Jedit-4.2-2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm - Jedit is working but when I go to the plug-in manager and hit the install tab, a window opens up after a bit stating that " An error occurred while parsing http://plugins.jedit.org/export/gzip_plugin_manager.php, line 1578:reference to undeclared entity (found "uuml") "

line 1578 has in it an author declaration where an international character is being cited (I think). this is the only place in the file where uuml is cited. I see that someplace the uuml translation needs to occur but I don't see where that is. Can someone help by indicating where this should be defined and how I fix the problem.

thanks

Beautif corrupts doctype
Submitted by jelups on Monday, 27 December, 2010 - 19:49
When beautyfing a html document, the brackets framing the doc type declaration are deleted.
Example:

DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"

The document name has the suffix .php since it contains some php-code ("include" function). The editing mode in global and buffer settings is set to "html". The plugin options for php and html modes are set to "html.beauty".
How can I prevent this?

dead keys
Submitted by silvain on Tuesday, 28 December, 2010 - 15:33
Dead keys of my national keyboard (Swiss French) do not work - neither under Windows nor under linux Ubuntu.
It seems that these keys are not captured at all by jEdit. They do not produce any character – neither by pressing them twice, nor by pressing space afterwards, nor by pressing any other character in order to produce some accentuated character.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
How to install JCompile?
Submitted by Unspoken on Tuesday, 28 December, 2010 - 21:41
Hi guys.

BACKGROUND:

I was using jEdit few times in previous few years since 2003 or 2004 I guess. I've used it on occasion to develop some short java programs. Alwayas I've been able to install JCompile plugin until this day. As usually, I've downloaded the jEdit from the Internet so I must have latest version (4.3.2) for Windows. However, JCompile is not visible under plugin manager and I have no clue how to install it in a different way.

Could somebody help me on this?

Thanks.

Access Denied Installing/Upgrading/Removing
Submitted by davidrickard on Tuesday, 4 January, 2011 - 13:12
I've been using jEdit for many years now with no problem but just went to upgrade 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 using the windows binary and get the error "Unable to create a temporary file. Setup Aborted" form the installer. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing 4.3.1 but get the same message from all of these.

I am sure this is something weird with my machine, but can anyone tell me what directories/files it is likely to be trying to use when it generates this?

During the upgrade it comes up immediately after asking what language and on uninstall it pops up immediately.

Thanks in advance
Marker Drift
Submitted by Kineas on Thursday, 6 January, 2011 - 13:58
Hi,

in the new (4.3.2) version of Jedit the markers no longer stick to their line "anchor". When you place a marker and save the file, the position is saved into the .marks file. If you press ENTER above the marked line it scrolls down, after a save the bookmark positions are updated in the .marks file.

But after restarting jedit the .marks file is no longer maintained, and the markers slowly drift away. Is this a known issue?

regards,
Kineas
New fonts not showing up
Submitted by MMDeveloper on Thursday, 6 January, 2011 - 15:50
I'm running Windows 7, jEdit 4.3.2, Java 1.6.0_22.

I installed a couple of monospace fonts to try out in jEdit but when I go to Global Options and Text Area, the new fonts don't appear in the list when I try to change the text area font. The new fonts show up fine in other programs (office, photoshop, etc) but they just wont show in jEdit. One of the fonts is a bitmap font and the other is an Open Type Font.

Any ideas?
Syntax error highlighting on save?
Submitted by greescom on Wednesday, 12 January, 2011 - 14:46
I used to do a lot of php coding with jedit & I'm sure that when you saved your document any syntax errors were highlighted in red & it told you at the bottom how many errors you had (with the "PHPParser" plugin installed).

I am now learing JAVA using jedit & I had assumed that same functionality would be included, However I am not getting any syntax errors at all in jedit for PHP or JAVA.

I have done a fresh install of Jedit so maybe I have messed something up?
Missing plugins
Submitted by BewareofDoug on Sunday, 16 January, 2011 - 15:50
The Plugin Manager doesn't list some important plugins like Beauty and XML. I just downloaded jEdit for Mac today and installed; the editor proper seems to be functional. I wanted to install mwjed, so I begain installing the prereq plugins and I installed several other plugins (e.g. JakartaCommons) without difficulty. I've downloaded the .bin.tgz for each as well and unpacked them but can't find documentation on how to install them that way.

Danke,
Doug

Jedit Problems on Ubuntu 10.10
Submitted by gdonwallace on Monday, 17 January, 2011 - 23:18
This started about 2 weeks ago. When I try to start Jedit I get the following errors: Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException at sun.awt.HeadlessToolkit.getScreenSize(HeadlessToolkit.java:279) at org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.SplashScreen.(SplashScreen.java:57) at org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.showSplashScreen(GUIUtilities.java:1844) at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.main(jEdit.java:330) I am not able to launch Jedit from the menu entry, as I think it is doing the same thing. When I try to launch from command line, this is what I get. I am just typing "jedit" and pressing enter. Also, I can open Nautilus, navigate to jedit, right click and choose "Open with sun java 6 runtime" and it works fine. Should I be using any command line switches? thanks for any help or suggestions.
X11 forwarding on a Mac
Submitted by lg on Friday, 21 January, 2011 - 17:47
I sometimes want to run jEdit on Mac A but display it on PC B. Other X11 applications simply can be forwarded through an ssh-tunnel but when I login into A from B with X11 forwarding enabled and run

% /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit

or

% java -jar /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jedit.jar


the application is opened on A rather than B. Other X11 applications work as expected. I also have a linux machine C with jEdit. There is no problem at all running jEdit on this machine and display it on either A or B.

Is this a problem with jEdit or java? Or possibly Apple's X11 server?
How to enable (X)HTML tag highlighting?
Submitted by mamboze on Monday, 24 January, 2011 - 02:47
Hi,
I had to reinstall jEdit recently and I can't work out how to enable html tag highlighting showing the enclosed code block. At the moment, all I'm getting when I click on one of the angle brackets of a tag is the other one getting indicated with the cursor. This is not very useful when editing (X)HTML pages. Also, when editing a php file, how can I get the php specific tags to be highlighted differently to HTML?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Console passes wrong file name to Error List
Submitted by Clavius on Tuesday, 25 January, 2011 - 22:32
I'm using the Console plug-in to parse my compiler messages and display errors in Error List plug-in. This works fine except the Error List incorrectly displays the file name and path.

In the Console error patterns menu, I specify the following:
Name: VHDL
Regexp: (.+):..+\\([^\\]+)\.vhd\ *\((\d+)\)Sad.+)
Warning regexp: leave empty
Extra lines regexp: leave empty
Filename: $f
Line number: $3
Error message: $4



Here's a sample of the compiler output displayed in the Console:

-- Compiling architecture behavior of tb_system_monitor
** Error: C:\Projects\tb_system_monitor.vhd (171): (vcom-1272) Length of expected is 8.



The Error List shows the correct error, but gets the file path wrong and forgets to include the file extension (.vhd).

C:\Program Files\jEdit\tb_system_monitor (1 error, 0 warnings)
171: ** Error: C (vcom-1272) Length of expected is 8.


I tried changing the Console Filename parameter from "$f", but nothing I did had any effect on the file name reported in the Error List. Is the Filename parameter passed to the Error List?

Thanks.
