I badly need the Zenburn theme applied to my Jedit ... got an eye problem to solve.
I saw Dale applied this theme to the Lipstik look and feel, available via the "Look and Feel" plugin. Screenshot: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=screenshot&image=35
Now, I'm asking any of you, that can compile the SVN code, to please offer me the jar of the new Look and Feel plugin;
- the new jar of the Lipstik look I already copied, but this is not enough to set the Zen theme.

Also any other possibilities of applying a Zenburn theme is welcomed.

Thanks, Vlad

Hallo,

the download of the plugin TextAutocomplete 0.9.8b do not work.
Does anybody know why ?
How can I solve the problem.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I've inherited a plug-in that was developed for internal use. According to the documentation the process for building \ debugging is as follows:

1. Open project in Eclipse
2. File > Export > JAR File
3. Export to C:\Program Files\jEdit\jars\Plugin.jar
4. Launch JEdit
5. Go to plugin manager and enable the plugin.

This seems to be a rather tedious and takes a long time to test even the simplest change.

Can someone suggest a better way please? Ideally I'd like to be able to add break points that are triggered while using the plugin through JEdit.

I apologize if this is a newbie type question.

Thanks
Warrick

Hello,
is it possible to add a menu item to the VFSBrowser context-menu (where stuff like rename/delete etc. is located) ?

Greetings

My environment is Ubuntu 8.0.4+JDK6.0+Jedit 4.3 pre15.The ftp plugin always shows a broken pipe exception.So what is a broken pipe exception??

I installed jEdit 4.3pre15 and thus needed to install the latest BufferTabs plugin that was released today (0.8.3 will not load on 4.3pre10). Two things:

1. You can no longer change the position of individual tabs by dragging them. Now they'll just stay in whatever position they get loaded in.

2. The jEdit site says 0.8.3 works with 4.2final and up. Unless I need to do some extra leg work to get it loaded with 4.3pre15, that's wrong.

I've decided I want to keep 4.3pre15 with our without movable tabs. Is there a way to get these tabs to change position or do we all have to wait for another release if we want to use 4.3pre15?

Is a search of a temporary buffer without actually physically opening the buffer onto the user's screen possible?

Hello,

I am writing my first plugin. I need to resize and relocate my plugin window. How do I do this? Neither of these two below do what I want:
view.setLocation(x,y); // relocates main editor
view.getDockableWindowManager().getDockableWindow(SideViewPlugin.NAME).setLocation(x, y); // this moves the JPanel to x,y _within_ the Dockable Window.

What I want to do is to move and resize the whole plugin window. How do I accomplish that?

Thank you,
Maciej

I have been experimenting with writing macros that invoke dialogs for user interaction with some success.
I have found the process of contriving the UI components within a BSH script a bit cumbersome.

Does anyone know of a (Java) RAD tool that permits the 'wysiwyg' development of dialogs, which then produces java swing directives which can then be injected into a macro script?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a Java source that encapsulates a suite of useful dialog templates as classes, so that they can be invoked from a macro, in the same way as some basic dialog types are supplied within jEdit?

Is it possible to let my plugin know when a user saves a file? My plugin is used to pull text files off a remote server, and then store them on the local machine for the user to edit them. In the end, I'd like for the user to just be able to hit save, and then the plugin would take care of updating the file on the server. Is there some sort of event that is triggered when a user saves that I could use to signal the plugin to upload the modified file? Any help will be appreciated immensely.

I am new to writing plugins (and java in general). I have made a program that pulls some text files off the web and saves them on my computer. I know the paths of the files, but I can't figure out how to open them. I know this must be incredibly simple, but I haven't been able to find a simple explanation of how to do this online, nor do I have a good enough grasp of plugin development to understand the source code to plugins on this site. If anyone can explain this to me, I would be extremely grateful.

Hi
I have the source to the ProjectViewer plugin within which I have made a trivial modification.
Could someone advice me on the tools and command directives I need to use to create a new version of the plugin .jar file?
If the existing jar file is over-written with a the newly build version, is it just a case of restarting jEdit to utilize the modified plugin?

many thanks,
Paul

When I first started using jEdit, there was a WebDAV plugin available...but I don't see much about it any more. I don't know much about its history. Is it in need of a developer to maintain it? If so, I might be interested. It would really be useful for me.

Thanks,
Dylan

I am having problems using the VFS.copy() API to copy a file from the FTP-VFS to the local-VFS. I get a NPE before anything is copied. Is this API designed to allow coping from one VFS to another?

I'm moving from Java to Python, and Seam to Django. I'm also ditching Eclipse. I used to use Jedit for Java dev. I'm back. I would like to have a few features available that would make learning and using Python and Django a bit easier. I'm guessing the features are already there, and I just need find them or download plugins.

I've read in the forums that using 'spaces' for tabs, and setting 'deep indent' is wise, so I've done that.
I notice that there is a django edit mode, and then I set the django type in SideKick to parsed by 'xml', so now the XML plugin show the structure of the template, and the edit mode bolds the django template language keywords. This is so totally cool as a start. Big thank yous!! to the people who put this support together.

For Python, I would love these three things. Is this available somehow? Perhaps an existing plugin can be configured do it?
- code completion for imports and methods.
- method param lookups which typing
- documentation lookups (doc strings)

If nothing exists to do this, perhaps that for good reason: It isn't needed. I've heard that Python is so well designed that a programmer can keep most of the key bits of knowledge in his/her head. I'm not there yet, and I really do like handy look ups to get info and save time.

If nothing like this exists, and you think it would be valuable, would anyone want to give me tips and pointers to writing a plugin or set of macros, or ??. I would be happy to implement a solution and commit back to the project. (At this point, I know more Java than Python.)

cheers

Hi

Is there a trivial solution for the XPath tool to recoginze and operate correctly with namespaces? For example, I have a XML document(WSDL file, I omit all the namespace declarations for better reading):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <wsdl:definitions ... >
    <wsdl:types>
      <xsd:schema ... > ... </xsd:schema>
    <wsdl:types>
  </wsdl:definitions>

If I try to execute XPath expression //types or //wsdl:types then an empty resutl is returned? As much as I know of XPath (and also experience from othe XML editors) there should be a single node as result. Is it just the the plugin is not usable or am I missing some other plugins or some knowhow (how to use jEdit).

Thanks for input,
Heiko

Hi folks,

I am trying to modify the QuickNotepad sources to add an extra button to the tool panel (QuickNotepadToolPanel.java) but whatever I do I can't seem to load a PNG file as the button icon.

I've added the following bit to QuickNotepadToolPanel.java to add the actual button:

add(makeCustomButton("msp430.foo", new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
QuickNotepadToolPanel.this.pad.foo();
}
}));

..and I have specified the icon files in the props file as:

QuickNotepad.foo.icon=foo.png
QuickNotepad.foo.label=Foo

the icon foo.png resides in the same folder as the java sources and the code compiles just fine but the icon is not loaded when I load the plugin and the button is just the size of a tiny dot.

If I specify an absolute path the code compiles but jEdit chokes on startup and I have to kill it.

Do I need to somehow specify the icon location in the build.xml file? Can I manually add the files to the jar itself?


Quite an easy question I guess but it has been driving me crazy so any comments/help much appreciated.


Cheers,
Hamza.

Could anyone please tell me if I can use the option "Tag List" as found in "UltraEdit".

I have a file opened in buffertab mode - C:\temp\123.aaa.

Through some internal processing, when I click on C:\temp\123.aaa, an empty file - C:\temp\123.bbb gets created in the folder C:\temp\.

But what I need is, the empty file 123.bbb which gets created in the folder C:\temp\ should open automatically in buffertab mode instead of me doing it manually.

Could someone please help me with this.

Hi, I've hacked together a setup to load an RSpec backtrace into jEdit (in
other words, you'll be able to click the relevant failed behaviour or error
to go straight the relevant file and line).
