How to Multiple Instances of jEdit?
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 21:36
Hi,
I am working on a plugin for jEdit, and I'm using jEdit for the coding. My problem is this: If I want to test my plugin I have to restart jEdit.

Is there a way to:
a) use multiple instances? (I downloaded the src, and compiled it to a different directory, with a different .jar, but when I run the .jar, it just brings up a copy of the jEdit instance that I already have open.
b) reload plugins?
c) do something else that I'm missing?

Sorry, I haven't RTFM, so feel free to scold me if it's in there.

Thanks,
Mike

With 4.2, you can reload your plugin without restarting jEdit. See the plugin manager -- you may need to uncheck "Hide Libraries".

However, if you won't want to do that, do:

java -jar jedit.jar -noserver -settings=c:\alternate\.jedit

and compile your plugin to c:\alternate\.jedit\jars
 
Thanks
