Jedit Single Instance

Submitted by rem on Sunday, 20 November, 2005 - 23:24

Hi everybody,

Just got to use Jedit and already think it's a great tool... However, I was wondering, is there a way to keep only one instance of Jedit open? If I choose to open a file assigned to Jedit from other location than File / Open I would like to have it within the same instance on another tab.

Thanks a million.

Command line switch?

There is a command line option:
-reuseview

It might help you but I'm not sure.

For further assistance on jEdit command line see the page
"Command Line Usage" in the jEdit help.

thanks for your answer but un

thanks for your answer but unfortunately this doesn't help... is there any way to have jedit working as a single instance by default?

thanks.

command line option "-noserver"

Starting jEdit multiple by using only one instance is the standard behavior that You can disable with the command line option "-noserver" (standard is "-server").
When using this option the buffers in two ore more jEdit windows are not the same.

When using the "-newview" option (instead of "-reuseview") a new view is opend instead of a new instance of jEdit. One difference is that opened buffers are the same in all views - so You can detect Your problem.

I don't know how You start jEdit, but I guess that there is
1. not used the -reuseview option and/or
2. used the -noserver option

Look for jedit.bat in the windows directory...
