I cannot get jEdit to install the XML plugin. I have been able to install other plugins as recently as yesterday. The download manager shows the XML plugin, I check its box and click "install". A window opens with a progress bar, which progresses to 100%, and then I get an error message: "Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror". I've tried about a dozen mirror with no success. I've tried using wide-open permissions on the jEdit home and settings directories - no difference. I've tried installing the plugin in the settings and application directory. I've even tried to install it manually. So far, no luck. I'd really like to get the XML plugin working, can anyone offer me any pointers? Is there a log file I can check?

Thanks and best regards,

Mike

What encoding is used for the Search Directory function? Is it the global default, the currently active file encoding, something else?

Is there a way to specify what encoding to use to open the files in a Directory Search without temporarily changing the global default?

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
