I'v been using EditPad Pro for a while now on Windows and love it's ability to write to a file that has been locked by another program.

For example, I can view a log file from my application server (as I can in JEdit now) but I can also clear the file's contents, save and overwrite the log file so that I can have logs that just show the content that I want to see.

Is there anyway to incorporate this into JEdit. It's the killer feature of EditPad (even the Classic version) and is the only thing stopping me from switching to JEdit. (Other than the "Stay on Top" feature which I can replicate with DesktopPins.

Cheers, Chris.
