Associating files with jedit

1) Bring up command prompt. Type:
ftype txtfile="c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "c:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview "%1"

Obviously replace the java path and jedit path with your paths.

2) Next, in command prompt, type
assoc =txtfile
where fileextentsion is the file extension, including the preceding "." that you want to associate with jedit. For example, to associate java files type,
assoc .java=txtfile

Done.

RTFM!

from user manual:
Q:
How do I associate particular file types with jEdit so I can open them by double clicking their icons in Windows Explorer?
A:
If you are using jEditLauncher, you associate the file extension with [full path]\jedit.exe "%1".
The jEditLauncher package for Windows includes a custom context menu handler. It will provide menu items for using jEdit any time you right-click on a file icon in Windows Explorer or a Windows file menu. This feature does not interfere with any existing file associations.

jEditLauncher Removed

JEditLauncher has been removed so the manual is out of date.

Lasterix, search for how to install jEditLauncher from a previous build (4.2pre13 was the last to include it I think). You can install that component without overwriting the rest I believe. You'll then get a jedit.exe to use to associate file types to.
