Replicating installations
Submitted by on Wednesday, 28 April, 2010 - 14:06
Suppose that you already have an installation containing your plugins and configurations.
If you desire to replicate this installation to another machine, for instance a virtual machine, without having to do everything again, there is an alternative that works well if the new installation has the same path of the old. If not, some path adjustments may be necessary according to your environment.
1. Install jEdit as usually.
2. Copy the jEdit's user configurations under .jEdit folder overwriting the content of the respective .jEdit folder of the new installation.
For instance, on Vista you find .jEdit folder configuration under C:\Users\User_Login\.jedit, and on XP under C:\Documents and Settings.
3. Copy the full content under the INSTALL_DIR/jEdit, overwriting the full content of the respective INSTALL_DIR/JEdit of the new installation.
It's ready to run.
I use this procedure to replicate my jEdit's intallations on virtual machines.
