If Lucene search does not work, and you have IllegalAccessException in activity log, add the start option

--add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED

[jEdit Worker #2] [error] IndexImpl: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: class org.apache.lucene.store.MMapDirectory$2$1 cannot access class jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner (in module java.base) because module java.base does not export jdk.internal.ref to unnamed module @41cd6d9b

When I set the font sizes for various components of jEdit, they are not remembered across quit/start of the editor. After I start the editor I have to go to Utilities => Global Options => Appearance and change the size setting of at least one of the fonts. After I set it back to my preferred size, that size is used once again to render Help and File Browser text.

Several other text editors I have used have an 'all' command which hides all lines that do not match a pattern. This does not rely on fold levels, so one can filter the edit view to show just the lines that contain e.g. a particular variable or phrase. For example, in Xedit the view might look something like this:

ELBERT NAMES A0 V 255 Trunc=255 Size=17 Line=8 Col=1 Alt=0
00000 * * * Top of File * * *
00001 :nick.O :Composer.Puccini:name.LaBoheme
00002 :addr.O1
00003
00004 :nick.C :Composer.Grieg:name.Peer Gynt Suites
00005 :addr.C1
00006
00007 :nick.C :Composer.Ravel:name.Piano Concerto in G Major
00008 :addr.C4
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
00009
00010 :nick.C :Composer.Offenbach:name.Les Bavards
00011 :addr.C3
00012
00013 :nick.O :Composer.Verdi:name.Aida
00014 :addr.O2
00015
00016 :nick.C :Composer.Mozart:name.Eine kleine Nachtmusik
00017 :addr.C2
====> all/nick.C/
X E D I T 1 File

before applying the all command; after applying it would look like this:

ELBERT NAMES A0 V 255 Trunc=255 Size=17 Line=4 Col=1 Alt=0
00000 * * * Top of File * * *
00001 -------------------- 3 line(s) not displayed --------------------
00004 :nick.C :Composer.Grieg:name.Peer Gynt Suites
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
00005 -------------------- 2 line(s) not displayed --------------------
00007 :nick.C :Composer.Ravel:name.Piano Concerto in G Major
00008 -------------------- 2 line(s) not displayed --------------------
00010 :nick.C :Composer.Offenbach:name.Les Bavards
00011 -------------------- 5 line(s) not displayed --------------------
00016 :nick.C :Composer.Mozart:name.Eine kleine Nachtmusik
00017 -------------------- 1 line(s) not displayed --------------------
00018 * * * End of File * * *
====>
X E D I T 1 File

Xedit allows the 'N line(s) not displayed' lines to be suppressed, so that the view would look something like this after using all:

ELBERT NAMES A0 V 255 Trunc=255 Size=17 Line=8 Col=1 Alt=0
00000 * * * Top of File * * *
00004 :nick.C :Composer.Grieg:name.Peer Gynt Suites
00007 :nick.C :Composer.Ravel:name.Piano Concerto in G Major
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
00010 :nick.C :Composer.Offenbach:name.Les Bavards
00016 :nick.C :Composer.Mozart:name.Eine kleine Nachtmusik
====>
X E D I T 1 File

My experience with jEdit is limited, but there appears to be no way to use the Fold methods to achieve this functionality.

On Apple Silicon/ARM Macs jEdit can't open because of the architecture mismatch between the Java application stub architecture and the architecture of the Java build. To use it, one has to go to a few extra steps that aren't at all obvious to the end user.

Following the instructions here https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/426713/how-to-help-the-jedit-application-find-java one must download a new Java stub and place it in the jEdit bundle then edit Info.plist to match the installed version of Java and only then can jEdit run.

I'm having trouble saving edited remote files via FTP plugin. (I'm using SFTP.)

I get this error:
[jEdit Worker #3] [warning] VFS: Backup of remote file {file} failed, because there is no backup directory.

What does this mean?

I have already done this:
"A workaround is to disable two-stage save in the General pane of the Utilities>Global Options dialog box."

What troubleshooting steps can I take? Any suggestions on how to get it working?

I use JEdit to edit rtf documents.
Word 2010 that I use generates an error and headers and footers are marked with double rr - headerr/footerr. I have to search for these words and correct them.
Is it possible to configure the editor so that the winning words (headerr and footerr) are automatically colored right away?

Would it be possible to have a user selection to disable ErrorList debug logging for large error sets? I'm working on error checking SUO-KIF files (www.ontologyportal.org) via a SUMOjEdit plugin that uses the ErrorList and with a large set of errors, the ErrorList will hang up the UI for a bit while outputting many debug logs. Thanks for all help!
