Hello! I have written an small beanshell startup script, that does save all modified buffers on jEdit focus lost. It's useful on html/css/php etc. development when you need an result of your changes frequently in other application (browser, curl-output etc.). Since I have not found how to upload it, I just put it here as is (put it as ~/.jedit/startup/Save-On-Focus-Lost.bsh)

EditBus.addToBus(new EBComponent() {
    public void handleMessage(EBMessage message) {
      if (message instanceof EditPaneUpdate) {
        if(message.getWhat() == EditPaneUpdate.CREATED){
          Log.log(Log.MESSAGE, BeanShell.class, "adding deactivation listener... ");
          myView = message.getEditPane().getView();
          myView.addWindowListener(new WindowListener(){
            public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e){
              Log.log(Log.MESSAGE, BeanShell.class, "windowDeactivated event");
              oppositeWindow = e.getOppositeWindow();
              if(oppositeWindow == null){
				  Log.log(Log.MESSAGE, BeanShell.class, "application is loosing focus ");
				  //jEdit.saveAllBuffers(myView,false);
				  jEdit.saveAllBuffers(e.getSource(),false);
              }
            }
            invoke( name, args ) { };
          });
          Log.log(Log.MESSAGE, BeanShell.class, "success");
         }
      }
    }
});

I've just upgraded to jEdit 5.0 in Win 7 Home, using the Windows installer.
I was pleased that it picked up all my customizations from 4.3, but whereever
a path is displayed, 5.0 it shows the env var %USERPROFILE% rather than the
actual path, which would be more helpful to me.

Can I get jEdit to show the actual path, eg, "C:\Users\me..." ?

Thanks,

My work supplied Macbook was having some issues so they upgraded the OS to 10.8.2. Not the latest but a good working version of the previous version.

I was stuck in a WarRoom and had to use Jedit on the Mac and discovered something funny. The left parenthensies are all invisible:

my %gPUB_HASH = (); - This is what it looks like in TextWrangler
my %gPUB_HASH = ); - This is what it looks like in Jedit


The open paren character "(" is invisible all throughout the .pl script. I have changed the color scheme, the background and even tried reloading with several different encoding schemes but no luck.

If I cut and paste the text into a email or TextWrangler the character shows up. It is just invisible

As I type the closing ")" character the cursor does flash to where the "(" should be so Jedit knows it is there.

Help! This is really annoying and does not happen on my various Window installs.

Hi All...

I'm using jEdit since a long time and it's a perfect text editor..; EXCEPT :
It's painfull to install and upgrade!

I was trying to find a jEdit for python (and Maya MEL) with
def/method/proc listing (ctags)
maya communication

Difficult and time consuming!

Why there is no a all in one package of jEdit with all of this features?
Or can you tell me wich release of jEdit/plugs are you using togoether? (jEdit 5 doesnt work well with the ctags plug for me)

Thanks....

I'm curious as java JMF2.1.1e DOES NOT INSTALL in jdk1.6.0 ad later has anyone else encountered this ?

Hi...

I have a problem with the text autocomplete plug-ins...

when I write a word, let's say "print", after 2 worlds, the popup appears then if I continue to type, the focus is loose.
at the end of the word, I hit space, then a I cannot ype anything. I have to refocius on the current tezxt view with the mouse.

UI tried on jEdit 4.5 and 5... that's the same.

Any idea?

Thanks

I have a lot of plugins and configurations in my old version (4.5.1) of jEdit, like many of you, I'm sure.

Can I copy my settings directory to my new computer (Windows 7 Home 64-bit) and will the new version of jEdit (5.0) work with it? Will there be glitches down the road? Should I just manually move over all my settings?

I know how to specify the profile directory in the command line, so that's not what I'm asking. I'm just wondering if 5.0 stores its settings differently, so that pointing 5.0 to a 4.5.1 settings folder would be bad.

Thanks for any help, and for this truly awesome program!

Hi
I'm new to jEdit and have it running in a swing app. I need to store files on the local disk in plain text, but want to allow users to work with them in RTF. On the load I'll add in the RTF and then strip it out on the save. Can anyone tell me how to set the content type in jEdit to render RTF correctly? I tried using JEditPane but it supports only limitted RTF - what I really need is the hide feature to keep track of the editing going on.

Thanks for any help

First, my apologies if I've put this in the wrong forum. I took a look a the various forums and concluded this would be the place to discuss an apparent issue with jEdit 5's Sidekick plugin.

I recently discovered that the jEdit 5.0.0's excellent Sidekick plugin evidently doesn't cope well with CSS @media statements / sections.

I have a CSS file that includes a "@media print" section. Sidekick lists all the styles in the default section of the CSS file, but does not list anything contained in the print section.

If I remove the @print section statements and its delimiters, then in Sidekick click Parse, Sidekick now lists all sections. For example, the default section of the CSS contains a "body" selector, as does the print section of the CSS. With the @media statement and delimiters removed, Sidekick lists both of the "body" selectors. If I put the @media section back in and Parse and Sidekick only sees the default section's "body" selector.

I'm only a jEdit user, not a developer, but wanted to raise this issue in the developer's forum because it's where I think I might get a useful response; and if we're all lucky, maybe even a fix at some point.

Cheers & thanks for your help,

Hello,
With ProjectViewer and CtagsInterface plugins (in conjuction),
if the directory tree is not part of a project, you simply right click the root and select "Plugins -> Add source tree to tag index" to generate tags.

see also:
http://jedit.9.x6.nabble.com/Re-jEdit-devel-jEdit-users-ctagsinterface-tags-refreshing-td4999851.html

I don't know what is the tags engine of CtagsInterface; it could be that it is exueberant tags.

In any case, I am working with kernel source tree. When I am generating a tag file,
I am used to add some filters to the tag creation (not include architectures which I
do not need; including them increases the possible options when jumping to methods which
has the same name in different architectures.

I tried to work with CtagsInterface without creating a special project in ProjectViewer;
when I click the root of a kernel tree and select "Plugins -> Add source tree to tag index" to generate tags, it takes a lot of time and it traverses all the kernel tree.

Is there a way to add filter to the tags creation?
(like: --exclude=arch/ia64, which I use when I create my tags with exuberant tags)

regards,
Kevin
