The
Downloads section of jEditCommunity is available as a repository for beta or development versions of plugins that are not ready for posting on jEdit's
Plugin Central. You can either post a download link or send an
email message attaching a jar archive file. If the download is a new plugin, a short description of its capabilities will obviously be helpful.

The situation differs among the major browsers. Internet Explorer, even as recently as version 6.0, will work with self-signed certificates under Microsoft's JVM. However, Netscape, Mozilla and other browsers using Sun's Java Plugin-In have stricter security requirements. Beginning with JDK 1.3.1, a security certificate will not work without a valid root Certificate Authority. It appears there is no way to circumvent this requirement, even if the user were willing to run an untrusted applet plugin. Since an IRC applet on the jEdit Community site would have to access the Internet to communicate with an IRC server, security limitations are triggered.

We have opened an IRC channel for jEdit users where you can discuss general jEdit issues or simply enjoy yourself. Feel free to join #jedit on irc.openprojects.net (port 6667).
You might also want to install the IRC plugin for jEdit which allows for in-place discussion right within your favorite editor! Visit
jEdit Plugin Central to learn how to install it.

The
PostNuke web portal system uses "themes" to provide options for layout and presentation of the site's content. The jEdit Community site now has the "Slate" theme as an alternative to the default "PostNuke" and "ExtraLite" themes. Rendered largely in shades of dark and darker blue, the Slate theme is based on the PostNuke theme of the same name created by
PixelMayhem (formerly known as Somara), which has kindly released its creation for public use.
If you are a registered member of jEdit Community, you can specify the Slate theme and other display options in the
Your Account section of the site.

The jEdit Community site is being featured on the home page of the
PostNuke project as a new site adopting the web portal system. We hope that this will give PostNuke users an opportunity to learn more about jEdit.
