Developing Java
Submitted by shaun510 on Sunday, 30 July, 2006 - 19:13
Hey, Im new to jEdit and have a really elementary question. Ive read the documentation, but I am still a little confused about the plugin. I wrote my source code in jEdit and saved it as a .java file. jEdit then colour formatted the text appropriately even though I never installed any java plugins. Is that what its supposed to do? I thought i needed to install a plugin for jEdit to recognize my source code as java.

Thanks,

Shaun

Syntax highlighting

The feature you described is called syntax highlighting. It's a built-in feature of jEdit. But you can change it or define new ones.

The plugins for Java development help to insert code or comments, start a compiler or help debugging and so on.
