Markers and marker browser
Submitted by gryf on Friday, 17 April, 2009 - 17:44
Hi.

In jEdit there is usefull feature called markers (and there is also menu for that) however there is something missing about it. There is no way to agregate all markers in one place like in Hypersearch window (or maybe i cannot find it). After some investigations, I found two things:

1. Plugin Markers Sets (http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?MarkerSets)

This is almost what I want, howerver it have two blockers: It have nothing to do with jEdit markers - it provide it own, and it doesn't work with jEdit 4.2 final which I use for "production" as a stable as a rock platform.

Is there any other plugin which can utilize markers information? It'll be perfect if it automaticly scan for marker in entire ProjectViewer project root directory.

2. Macro listMarkers.bsh (http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1057) which uses jEdit markers, but it cannot be docked in way that plugins windows can. Also it list only markers from current buffer.

Is there a way to dock window created by a macro?

And finally - what informations are stored on *.mark file? I can see something like:
!.;289;289
Where dot after exclamation mark is actually null (0x00)

Thanks in advance for any comment.

1. jEdit 4.3pre16
There is an integrated dockable that shows all markers of current buffer.

2. jEdit 4.2:
I only can see the workaround to patch the macro listMarkers.bsh. When line 81 is commented out (//dialog.setVisible(false)) the dialog will not be hidden after a click on an item.

3. Theoretically a beanshell macro can do all things a Java program is able to do. But I've never seen a macro providing a dockable window. And since You ask this question, I think it could be a piece of work for You Eye-wink. I have been written some macros, but I can't tell You how to do this. You would have to take a look at some source code providing a dockable.

4. The number in the markers file are the caret offset related to the beginning of the buffer (character count). The action "Goto next marker" places the caret at this position.
