Abbreviation, autocorrect and apostrophes
Submitted by mbadran on Sunday, 18 April, 2004 - 13:37
Hi,

I would like to have an abbreviation that includes an apostrophe, such as "are'nt", which is to be replaced with the correct spelling of "aren't" upon expansion.

The problem is that the abbreviation engine does not seem to recognise apostrophes (in abbreviations, not expansions). I've tried escaping them as such; "\'", but that also does not work.

If there is a workaround for this, I'll be able to have jEdit autocorrect common spelling mistakes, and I'll post up my abbrev file for everyone's benefit. If not, I guess this will have to go in the Feature Requests forum.

Many thanks,
Mohammed.
debugger integration?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 17 April, 2004 - 07:43
What kind of integration is available / possible between Jedit and debuggers? I am looking for things like break-points, stepping, inspecting, etc.

Any plug-ins to make this easy?

Languages: Ruby, Java, Python.
Project viewer plugin - autorefresh
Submitted by FelhoBacsi on Thursday, 15 April, 2004 - 23:08
Hi!

I have a little problem.
I have a directory structure like this:
modules
\++module_name
\++action
\++add.php
\++view
\++add.php
\++template
\++add.tpl
The add.* files are generated from a default (action, view, template) template, and then I edit them.
My problem is, that after generation I should add all these files manually to the project. Is there any solution to automatize this?

Thx in advance,
Felho

File Association
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 12 April, 2004 - 15:55
I looked for this and couldn't find it, hopefully its not located in another section.

For those Windows users that don't want to open up JEdit explicitly and then open up the code files, you can associate your code file with the jedit.exe directly and then when you double click on the file, it will open in JEdit. To change the association, you can find this a File Explorer window->Tools->Folder Options->File Types.

I kept trying to send the code(.java) file to the jedit.jar file as an option. Probably most aren't that ignorant, but now you know.
ftp plugin and password
Submitted by saurya_s on Sunday, 11 April, 2004 - 14:32
Hi all
Jedit has option of opening/saving files from ftp server thru ftp plugin. Can I ask it to show me one of the server which I use most frequently by default instead of browsing thru pulldown menu and remember its password.Can I make a quick shortcut for opening/saving to that serverer something that will quickly bring up the ftp dialog box.

How to exit awt frame politely from jython
Submitted by WGW on Saturday, 10 April, 2004 - 07:20
I have been toying with java gui + jython under jedit. I found the code below as a starting point. It works!

The only problem is that when the jython "exit(1)" statement is invoked it not only exits the current (jython+java) window but jedit completely and anything jedit has spawned.

So, what I need for a well-behaved popup frame is one that will not exit jedit when I close it, but rather the frame only.

My guess is I will find the answer as I learn more Java (I'm trying to get an easy intro through jython and jedit). But if anyone has a simple solution, that would be great: I would like to have menus pop up for certain macros and this looks like a good (?) way to do it -- though I'm sure beanshell would work just as well.

(PS: I think the following code formatting gets zapped by this forum software.)



import sys,time
from java import awt

# This is an edited version of a QA tool that I wrote
# Not all the variable names will make sense in this example

# extend.
class App:

def __init__(self):

procList = []
for i in range(1,11):
procList.append("Test #"+str(i))

self.frame = awt.Frame("Perform Work for Java", visible=1)
self.mainpanel = awt.Panel(awt.GridLayout(0,2))
#added this... does not seem to work; might need to use swing
#frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(awt.Frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)

self.cb = {}
for p in procList:
cBox,txtField = self.choiceBox(p)
self.cb[cBox] = txtField
self.mainpanel.add(cBox)
self.mainpanel.add(txtField)

exitBtn = awt.Button("exit", actionPerformed=self.exit)

printBtn = awt.Button("Do Tests", actionPerformed=self.doTest)

self.mainpanel.add(printBtn)
self.mainpanel.add(exitBtn)

self.frame.add(self.mainpanel)
# I've found that packing the frame is a must, though I haven't seen many examples
# that use it. Maybe I'm missing something.
self.frame.pack()

def choiceBox(self,label):
checkBox = awt.Checkbox(label)
numberBox = awt.TextField()
panel = awt.Panel(awt.GridLayout(1,2))

return checkBox,numberBox

def exit(self,e):
sys.exit(1) #here is where it shuts everything down.
pass

def doTest(self,e):

# this pops up a dialog
dlg = MsgDlg("Running Tests")

for job in self.cb.keys():
if job.getState():
print job.getLabel()+" --> "+ self.cb[job].text

time.sleep(2)
# remove the dialog
dlg.frame.removeNotify()

class MsgDlg:
def __init__(self,msg):
self.frame = awt.Frame("Doing Tests", visible=1)
self.panel = awt.Panel(awt.GridLayout(1,1))

self.panel.add(awt.Label(msg))

self.frame.add(self.panel)
self.frame.pack()

if __name__ == '__main__':
# this starts the main window up

Project Plugin: Preview in Browser Configuration
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 10 April, 2004 - 04:34
Hi-

I'm running JEdit pre11 on MacOSX.3.

I can't seem to get the Project plugin 'Preview in Browser' menu option to work.

I've tried setting the browser path to all sorts of things, including:
open (a generic 'open this file' command)
open -a /Applications/Firefox.app (a request to open a file with an application)
/Applications/Firefox.app
/usr/bin/open (the full path to open)

I keep getting 'Error starting process: Application not found'

Has anyone got this to work on MacOS 10? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Eric Everman
Auto-tab
Submitted by rbrown on Thursday, 8 April, 2004 - 09:07
I've just moved to jedit from Textpad. I've been trying to find something that runs under Linux that is close enough to Textpad that I can use it. jedit appears to do most of the things that I want, however there is one thing that is really annoying me in the way that jedit works. Note: I'm using jedit primarily to develop in PHP.

Basically, it's the auto-tabbing functionality. My style of tabbing is to use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment. For example, if I'm writing a line that declares an array with some elements, I want to put each element of the array onto a seperate line to make the code more readable. I want the elements to align vertically for easy reading. Each of these lines is tabbed to the same level as the first line, and then aligned from there with spaces. This means that anyone can view the code with their preferred tab size and everything still lines up as originally intended. If spaces or tabes are used to both align and indent, one of these conditions is not met (if you only use spaces people can't view the code in their favoured tab size: if you only use tabs things don't align in tab sizes other than the one used by the author).

Anyway, the upshot is that I end up with lines that start with a number of tabs followed by a number of spaces. The problem is that in jedit when I press return to start a new line, jedit converts most of the spaces into tabs, meaning I have to delete them and add the spaces I want manually. To make matters worse, if I press tab jedit does it again, and created the extra tabs that I don't want. Textpad would simply repeat the same tabbing as the previous line, which is exactly what I want.

I've looked through the options of jedit and can find no option to turn this off. Does anyone know if one, and if not how hard would it be to add one?

Oh, I'm using jedit 4.1 final.

Thanks a lot!
Getting 4.1 color scheme
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 6 April, 2004 - 00:45
I really liked the syntax highlighting for java in JEdit 4.1. Version 4.2 seems to be a lot more colorful and I just cant get use to it. Is there an easy option to turn 4.2 highlighting to look like 4.1? I tried using global options but I just cant get it right.

Thanks,
need help setting up Jane and CodeAid for Java code completion
Submitted by Martin Honnen on Monday, 5 April, 2004 - 17:56
I have JEdit 4.1 here on Windows XP and would like to use CodeAid for code completion when editing Java source files. I am not sure how to set up a libary with Jane so that the SUN SDK/JRE API is known to CodeAid.
I have set up one library named jsdk14 with Jane with the following paths:
Source Path: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.1_01\src.zip
Class Path: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre\lib\rt.jar
Doc Path: D:\docs\Java\j2sdk1.4.1\docs\api

Unfornunately the documentation is not very detailed about what for instance is the right thing (directory or index.html or ?) to point the doc path to.

When I now try a simple Java program like

public class Test20040405 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String s = "Kibology for all.";
System.out.println(s.

and select Plugins->CodeAid->Complete I get a dialog window with a BeanShell error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

newbie help please
Submitted by xlander on Sunday, 4 April, 2004 - 13:57
I am trying to edit the default.ini for dues ex 2, but I can't seam to get anything but a beep when I try to edit it. I know I'm a rookie but the last time I edited something like this I was able to use notepad. Unfortunately this one will not let me change anything through notepad. So I guess what I'm looking for is basic jedit instructions to change a few values ( like 1.25 to 0.0 or .75 to 4.75). I tried reading the help file but I am not a programmer, so I don't understand half of what its telling me to do.
thanks, the newbie
FTP Plugin + Backups?
Submitted by sandy on Saturday, 3 April, 2004 - 21:59
Hello...I'm new to jEdit but really enjoying it. For school I do a lot of work on a remote server, and while I like using the FTP plugin to directly edit these files, I'd also like to have jEdit automatically backup to my workstation (the school server is notoriously unreliable). I set in the global options for jEdit to automatically backup upon every save to a specified backup directory on my local machine, but it doesn't seem to be working for files opened with the FTP plugin. Am I missing something? It's also not creating the directory on the remote server, as far as I can tell. Thanks!

Beautify/Format blocks of code
Submitted by CJreige on Friday, 2 April, 2004 - 20:21
Does anyone know of a way to beautify/format the following code using a search/replace with a regular expression?

I'd like to format the code from this:

set north [lindex $string_list 0]
set east [lindex $string_list 1]
set elevation [lindex $string_list 2]
set arsenic [lindex $string_list 3]
set sulph [lindex $string_list 4]

to this:

set north [lindex $string_list 0]
set east [lindex $string_list 1]
set elevation [lindex $string_list 2]
set arsenic [lindex $string_list 3]
set sulph [lindex $string_list 4]

In other words, I'd like the different parts each line of the code block to line up vertically.

Thanks for any insight.
syntax highlighting for non-registered file extensions
Submitted by hopia on Friday, 2 April, 2004 - 19:15
I've just recently started using JEdit.
How can I assign a file extension to a specific syntax highlighting scheme?
For example, I would like to associate *.dsm files to vbscript syntax highlighting (in addition to the default *.vbs).
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
