...there's an active jEdit community, but this forum gives the impression discussion is slow/dead. It's also somewhat unfriendly to newcomers as a fair number of threads never get a response.

In the feature requests forum it was said that feature requests are better posted to the tracker on sf.net.

So I think the forum should close and be replaced with a link to the tracker. Respectively the advice "Please do not submit bug reports to the forums ..." should be expanded for feature requests.

Hi jedit dev team,
Can we deault the following during new install?
* UNCHECK END OF LINE MARKER!!!!
* set max num backup to zero.
* check show line number

I haven't found one good use case for default installed QuickNotePad
plugin... replacing it with Console is much more useful.

Firstly - the product itself is great, have worked with it using ruby and erlang now and found great plugins/tips that help productivity.
The site is another matter.., i apologize if these have been covered elsewhere.
The stylesheet is very bland and could do with revamp. I have messed with drupal in the past and know that it can look much better then this without too much effort. Maybe some sort of competition to choose a new theme ?
It is very difficult to search the forums to try to see if a particular question has already been asked. I am not sure what search method is used (maybe drupal built in) but i have found better results using google search. Maybe google search could be integrated into site.
Lastly the wiki seems to be completely hosed up apart from the home page ( i am using firefox ). I get all sorts of garbage displayed and cannot see any wiki content. I would suggest mediawiki be used instead and to have integrated logins from the drupal site.
I would like to see the website reflect the strength of the product as it may turn off some potential users in it's current state.
I am willing to help with this.

Hi All !

Since a longer time, I am a big fan of JEdit. This is the one side. On the other hand, I must prevent me regularly from writing "JEdit is the world slowest editor" [So I don't put this into the subject ].
The usual problem - on windows so far - is that the process is outswapped and re-loading all parts needs a long time. I do not know why. This is true on all of my machines and between the slowest [450MHz] and the fastest [2.4GHz] is not much difference while working. The problem mostly appears, if JEdit is re-called from the taskbar [re-aktivated, made the top-level window now].

The Eclipse community has the same problem, see:

description [http://www.javaperformancetuning.com/news/roundup045.shtml] and
solution [http://suif.stanford.edu/pub/keepresident]

I found this solution today, while I was looking for something like that - due to the last big hung of JEdit. I'll just recommend to implement this solution for JEdit too.

Any comments are welcome!

Best regards,
mabra

I'm an industrial robot code monkey, and have been using a commercial editor for some years now, the problem is that editors are rarely writtem with robots in mind, and the one I was using has slowly become more difficult to use with each upgrade.
I did look at Java a few years ago, but was put off by what I took to be bloat.
Then I found jEdit. Sweeeet. Thanks guys, you've done a superb job of it.
So as of last Friday I've been converted. I read the "writing edit modes" manpage and within 20 mins had a working install.
I look forward to being able to upload modes for a couple of robots in the near future, as soon as I have time to figure out how to do it properly.
Well done guys.

I couln't upload a macro bundle (zip-file) to the jEdit Community site. This bundle contains several images, so, it is a little more than 2 MB. I assume that this problem comes from a upload size limitation.

Is it possible to confirm and let me know what is the limit.

Thanks

I'm using firefox 2.0 and all the drop down boxes have a width of only one character. I can't see what options there are to select! Is this the same for you other firefox users? If so please can one of the site admins fix this.

On a related note, there doesn't seem to be any way of contacting the site admins from this website, only the forums are available.

A site map would be nice too, if you can add that to the todo list that will be choice.

Hi Guys,

As part of my Christmas Charity giving this year, I would like to donate a small amount to Jedit to help with hosting or whatever. I cannot find a sourceforge donate or paypal donate link anywhere.

Any clues as to where I might find one?

Cheers and keep up the good work.

When I use this URL:

http://www.jedit.org

Nothing but a blank screen comes up. But, when I use this URL:

http://jedit.org

The site comes up just fine. I just thought I should tell someone. I wasn't sure who to contact though.

I use jEdit since 4.1, and in the last three years it has become my #1 tool for work and play. The lack of new releases throughout most of 2005 made me fear for the future of this cherished app, so it's very nice to see it back on a steady routine of updates. Like they used to say in videogames, "Special Thanks" to all the jEdit development team!

I am using Firefox 1.5 to browse the Jedit community web site and on that page:
http://community.jedit.org/?q=user/edit the width of all the dropdown boxes (Themes, Timezone, ...) appear minimized.

I can list all the items of the dropdown box but I cannot read the text entirely; in fact I can only see the 2 or 3 first letters.

The dropdown boxes appear well in IE but I don't want to use it

How can I fix that?

I just download and installed jEdit for the first time and I'm still not completely used to it.
I'm looking for a way to auto save all the open files/buffers once the program looses focus.
I find it very handy when I modify several dependent scripts and then move to a different program to run it.
This is a feature I got used to have in MultiEdit.
I'm sure there must be a way to do it.
Thanks,
Franco

Hi All,
I recently created a couple of new web buttons (based on an existing one) but when I tried to send it to "krisk@acps.org.au" it was returned with an unknown email address error. Anybody got any ideas of how I can submit the new web buttons?

I am running JEdit 4.2 on Windows XP. If I try to print a C formatted file, some of the characters of the output run together. For example, ((x)<0)looks like the < is overstriking the 0. Is something wrong with my ocnfiguration, or is this a bug?

Hi,
I want to Plugin Jedit in a JSP page.
can any one tell me the way?
Thanks in Advance !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks & regards

Well, this qualifies as a site design bug, but anyway ... when I go in and change some information on my account and submit it, if one piece of the information doesn't pass the validator, it wipes out all the other changes! That's fairly annoying! If I make a mistake in the submittal, all the data should be preserved except the bad piece.

Thanks.

After signing up for the jEdit community I found that I started getting spam @ the address I use for my jedit account even though the account page, says the email address is not public. This is not correct you can search google & return results for my jedit email address coming off of the jedit wiki (http://community.jedit.org/cgi-bin/TWiki/view/Main/WebIndex) for example.

Please get this corrected so I don't have to dissable more of my email addresses.
