When I want to compile C# source code within jEdit I encounter a problem with nonpersistent (stateless) Console plugin. Every command is executed in newly initialized shell which is a big problem for .NET Framework SDK. It uses sdkvars.bat to estabilish development environment within the shell (it sets apropriate paths etc.) but this settings seems to be valid only for one session. For example to compile "source.cs", i need to write:

...> sdkvars.bat
[some output from the bat]
...> csc source.cs

But how can I acomplish this within stateless console plugin?

Very common is that some control in commando is populated using EVAL attribute, for example to populate "Source file" control, write EVAL="buffer.getPath()" as an attribute of the FILE_ENTRY element (BTW, commando.dtd is wrong and says that no such element is allowed, but all works). What if I want to write some EVAL-expression that has quotes inside, for example buffer.getPath().endsWith(".java") ? buffer.getPath() : "" ? Can anybody help me?

Does anybody use jEdit to develop in C#? I am quite new to jEdit and don't know how to force it to simply compile and run a code. Thanks for help.

I'm using the Language FlagShip, very similar to Foxpro, in Linux. I already made a custom mode for syntax but now I want more. I'm trying to get code completion working or at least something like VB does showing a yellow floating box with the parameters of a function when we write the name of that function or with the properties and methods of a class when we write the name of an object of that class.
I've been walking around sidekick, codeaid, ctags, codebrowser and other plugins but still I don't guess how to do this in jEdit.
What plugin should I use and how can I configure it.

Thanks

Hi there.

I installed superscript and downloaded js.jar from Mozilla's Rhino. I then copied js.jar to {jedit.home}/jars and restarted jEdit. I also changed the superscript optins so that js is recognized as a macro extension. When I use superscript it seems that nothing useful happens. For instance, if I use the text box in the superscript docking window, when I type 2 +2, what I get in the results window is just an echo of what was typed:

-> 2 + 2

same thing with every instruction like parseInt("qwq123").

I also tried opening a js script with jEdit and using the Execute Script button. Nothing happens.

I must be missing something really obvious.

This is probably dead easy but, is there a simple way to view java applets from within jEdit? At the moment I leave jEdit open a Command Prompt window and use appletviewer or I run the html document.

Hi,

I 'd like to know how to associate ".txt" or others, files with jEdit (I want to open the file with jEdit when I double clic on it).

Thanks.

i have a shortcut key (f4) set to run an AntHelper task. i also have AntFarm docked on the left and Console and ErrorList docked on the bottom. if i have all docked windows closed and push the f4, the AntFarm and Console popup open.

is there some way to suppress this?

There is abolutely no reason for the left dock to open. I have to close it everytime at the cost of extra mouse work. And I would actually only like to see ErrorList if there are errors. Otherwise, nothing should come up in the bottom dock either. (However, if the Console must open, i can live with that, probably.)

Thanks for any and all help!!!

Hi, it might sound a little crazy (although I have
serious applications in mind) but I need to
get jedit to make a backslash when typing
the following two keys at the same time:

Left-Windows-special-key german-umlaut

I managed to get a backslash when typing

A+n for example. However the windows special
key seems not do work for that nor do the
german special keys.

I would really appreciate any suggestions !

I have seen in some of the 'screenshots' in that the code enclosed in { } is marked by a vertical line drawing from '{' to '}'. I have searched in the global options but couldnt find a way to activate it.

Thanx in advance for your advice

Hi

i just upgraded to 4.2 and have noticed that opening a file opens a new jedit instance. this never occurred in 4.1 - or i set something for it to keep the same window. either way, i can't figure out how to get it to use one instance only. the second window always has the same list of documents opened previously and adds the new one. i open docs mainly from the nautilus browser with the open with popup command on a file.

i only noticed this since 4.2.
i'm using debian unstable. i installed jedit using the java installer.

any suggestions on how to stop this behaviour would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, under what license are the mode files ?
I want to use them in another editor. Is this okay ?

What's about only using the "wisdom" in this files ?

I just starting trying jEdit and was halted immediately when I went to open a file from a computer on my network. It was not initially apparent to me how I could go about opening a network file from the file broswer without first mapping a drive. Am I doing something wrong? Is mapping a drive the only way to open files from a network computer?

Thanks!

How to reduce the body of a function in the text area, in order to have something like that: "+ void my_function(void truc) {" <== all the body of the function is hidden here and when you click on the "+" the body expands. PS: excuse me for this horrible english, i'm french...

Is it possible to invoke GDB (or any other command line application)
in its own independent console window using the console plugin ?
If I invoke GDB directly in console it returns immediately...
Thanks.

I'm sure I'm doing a dumb thing, but ... I've got the xml plugin which works great for xhtml editing. I've just loaded a downloaded ant build.xml file, however, and there are lots of errors noted.

The error list shows <project>, <target>, ... and the other ant xml keywords as being not recognized. But the xml insert side panel shows these as being just fine. I believe this means the ant dtd/catalog is known by the plugin.

Here's a picture: http://backspaces.net/files/jEdit001.jpg

So what dumb thing am I doing wrong?!

Thanks...

I've recently switched from HomeSite to jEdit and while I'm *really* happy with jEdit there's one thing that bugs me. For some reason the auto-completion for both HTML and ColdFusion doesn't work for me (jEdit 4.2pre14) if the file extension is cfm. If I save something as .html it works, but of course I would like having both tags and HTML expanded. One (stupid) question: are edit modes resposible for tag completion (because I know they govern syntax highlighting)? If yes, is the edit mode that shipped with 4.2pre14 broken? If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know...

I don't like how the only descent way I can fold with python is using the indent mode of folding. The problem with it is that it is greedy on ending whitespaces. Example:

def a():
____pass

print 'hi'

If I fold a, I get:

def a(): [2 lines]
print 'hi'

What I want to get is:

def a(): [1 line]

print 'hi

This becomes very annoying because if you use alot of folding it will look very busy, when I'd like to keep the extra newlines/whitespaces after each fold. Is there a way to configure jedit to leave these ending whitespaces?

If not, could anyone help me write a regex line for how to get the configurable folding plugin to work the way I want it? (its a bit tricky because of how python handles whitespaces)

Thank you!

Help me, Progress 4GL have embedded comments? Is it working in JEdit?
PS: sorry for my english
