JEdit as external editor in WinSCP
Submitted by JonathanNil on Monday, 2 October, 2006 - 15:26
I use JEdit on Windows. For software that let's you set an external editor 'helper', I like to use JEdit, but frequently have trouble figuring out how.

In particular, I'd really like to use it with WinSCP. Can anyone give me instructions on how to do it for WinSCP? Or any general tips or instructions for doing this generally on windows with jedit?

[The fact that it's a java app instead of a normal .exe is what is at the root of the problem, I guess.]

Hi, I don't know WinSCP. But here are general hints:

1. Create a batchfile to place in %PATH% => There already may be another batchfile jedit.bat in the %PATH% - delete it! Here's a sample for a more structured batch . In the desired Programm chosse the created batch instead of the exe.

2. If the program doesn't want to start a batchfile, may be the jEdit Launcher-like program can help You.
