Associating JEdit with file extensions in windows.
Submitted by nirnex on Friday, 11 August, 2006 - 16:33
I'm using JEdit in Windows XP and currently use it primarily for Python and some propriatary language work. What I'd like to be able to do is associate JEdit with certain file types so that they can be double-clicked to open into JEdit. I know I used to be able to do this in an older version of JEdit (4.1 I think) but can't seem to get it to work with 4.2 or 4.3. I also need to be able to set the association app with a custom memory heap as I often have to open very large files and keep my heap set for 1Gb. Any assistance on this is very appreciated.

1. Create a batchfile to place in %PATH%
To specify heapsize place switches "-ms128m mx1024m" before the -jar switch: "javaw -ms.. -mx.. -jar..." (ms=minimum, mx=maximum).
=> There already may be another batchfile jedit.bat in the %PATH% - delete it!
Here's a sample for a more structured batch
2. Modify the registry directly or via commandline to edit the contextmenu of specific and all filetypes OR edit filetypes via explorer.
3. Alternativly You can place a link to the batchfile in the SendTo folder, so jedit is availaible via SendTo.
4. Take a look at iEdit Launcher-like program .
