Is JEdit incompatible with my programming style?
Submitted by fmart on Tuesday, 14 December, 2004 - 17:08
Hello.
I'm new to JEdit (and Java) and I've found an annoyance in the way JEdit treats my programming style. It seams that everybody except I writes "obj.method/params)". I write "obj.method (params)" (note the space between "method" and "(".

Well, because of that, JEdit doesn't mark my method calls like so. I took a look on the Java mode file and discovered that the way JEdit highlights methods won't work for me because it uses (I think): ( But the space I put before "(" breaks this, because it separates the tokens.

Is there a way to avoid this problem besides changing my style? Am I the only sole with this style????


Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know whether you're alone with this style.

Here is a tip from Sun: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc7.html#490

"Note that a blank space should not be used between a method name and its opening parenthesis."

Perhaps it's possible to edit jEdit's mode file. But I wouldn't do that. I would change my style to the conventions.
