Here's just a few ...

You can now define 'projects'. When you add a project, you provide a home location for it much in the same way as always. However, when you change to a directory that is defined as a project, the entire tree file is loaded. This gives the ability to show that files need attention somewhere in the directory structure (modified, added, conflicts etc) even when the parent(s) are not expanded. The trade-off is that start-up time and memory consumption is higher (especially for large workspaces). I would recommend you try this one ...

An XML parser is now required (this is used for the projects file). Over the next few releases, more and more of gruntspuds configuration files will be migrated to XML. Xerces is included with the source distribution, so if you want (or need) to use JDK13 get that version. The jEdit plugin adds the 'XML' plugin as a dependency.

A WebDAV plugin for jEdit is under development.

CodeAid for jEdit 4.1 will be released soon. You can find the current CVS version packaged as jars on my site:
