I'm an industrial robot code monkey, and have been using a commercial editor for some years now, the problem is that editors are rarely writtem with robots in mind, and the one I was using has slowly become more difficult to use with each upgrade.
I did look at Java a few years ago, but was put off by what I took to be bloat.
Then I found jEdit. Sweeeet. Thanks guys, you've done a superb job of it.
So as of last Friday I've been converted. I read the "writing edit modes" manpage and within 20 mins had a working install.
I look forward to being able to upload modes for a couple of robots in the near future, as soon as I have time to figure out how to do it properly.
Well done guys.
