Any Way to Use jEdit as Eclipse Plugin
Submitted by dezzio on Friday, 30 April, 2004 - 23:38
Is there any known way to use jEdit as an eclipse plugin. This would be a killer feature. Does it exist?

My apologies for replying to a post from 8 years ago. I arrived here via a Google search with the same question and desire of the original poster.

I would like to chime and say I would be very happy to have a jEdit plugin for Eclipse too.

Eclipse has become a defacto standard in many Java shops. It would be nice to use the same development tools that everyone else is using where you get paid and have the text editing power of jEdit.

Such a plugin could be good for the jEdit project. I think it would become very popular among Eclipse users very fast. That would bring jEdit attention it might not otherwise get. That might draw in more developers willing to pitch in and jEdit<=>eclipse interoperability may bring some useful Eclipse modules to jEdit

To reiterate the first responder...

Why!! So eclipse can be slower and take up more resources? I have found that the only feature missing from jEdit that is in Eclipse is the getter/setter creation features. Almost everything else is doable in jEdit.

jEdit has a better project management tool, better plugin libraries, better text editing capabilities(I could no longer live without hypersearch, folding, or tag matching), and just about everything than Eclipse.

There are 2 things that are better about Eclipse, 1 was mentioned above, 2 is the code completion, which is good in DotComplete but unreliable in CodeAid(at least in my experience). Then the argument is, learn the language and you don't need code completion.
 
To make Eclipse more palatable

Sorry if this is a dup posting. I don't see my initial response in the forums...

Sometimes work requires Eclipse. Maybe the rest of the team uses it and we need to be Eclipse friendly just for cooperation.

I'd love to use jEdit inside Eclipse. It would make my Eclipse time less of a burden and let me use a common editor for Eclipse & my real work.
Why? WHy? Why? Why? Why?

Lets work on staroffice that works inside wordperfect, or make an IE plugin for mozilla. Why not an Outlook Express plugin for evolution?

There is an IE extension for firefox.
 
Amen.

Amen.
I doubt it'll ever happen

It would be nice to be able to use jEdit's text editing capabilities under Eclipse, but they use completely different UI libraries - Swing vs. SWT.

Might be possible at some point using SwingWT, but last time I tried, I couldn't get it to compile.
 
JEdit as Eclipse's editor would rock

Not to fan the flames 4 years after the last post....

I'd love to see features from JEdit merged into eclipse.

My current experience with Eclipse at work is that Eclipse is faster over NFS when compared with JEdit. I love JEdit, but it doesn't have near as many plugins for niche languages ( i.e. System Verilog, Specman ).
