I recently changed machines, from a laptop with screen resolution of 1920x1200 to desktop with resolution of 1280x1024. I copied over my settings folder from the old machine and now my find dialog is off screen when I open it.

What file in the jEdit settings folder has the positions for the find dialog?

Please cc any answers to me @ mailto:mark.longmire@infor.com

Thanks

Hi dear jEdit users,
I pretty much love jEdit and so first thing what I did when I switched from WinXP to Fedora Core 3 Linux last week was installation of Sun JDK 1.5.something and lastest jEdit 4.3pre1. But what a suprise! I can't type certain characters on my Czech keyboard layout (numbers from 2 to 6 at aplhabetic keyboard). Because I have notebook and can't just use numpad and this makes work nearly impossible. I must copy&paste when I need these numbers!

After my web research I observed that is probably very very old bug in Sun's Swing implementations (see bugs http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4799499, and bugs 4935357, 4707542, 4765333, 4797332, 4799500, ...). Symptoms are still same - can't type non-US nation characters. Somebody reports german "sharp B", <, > and may other various characters. My case are numbers.

jEdit's keyb tester knows about these keys but don't pass it to screen (they are filtered). I can send excact dump.

I simply can't believe that all users at Linux do copy&paste to insert dead characters. Is there *any* workaround?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Have a nice day to all

Hello,
I'm very happy with jEdit, but I've got a problem: I said windows that he should open all *.php files with this adress:
C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\bin\javaw.exe -jar "G:\Programme\jEdit\jedit.jar"
It works, but not with *.php files in directories with blanks. Unfortunately, all my files are in "H:\Tim\Eigene Dateien" and so I can't open them directly.
Can somebody help me? I really hope so
Thanks,
Tim.

Whenever I start jEdit (using javaw) on Windows (XP SP2) all the fonts on the screen seem to go bold (or something). As soon as I close jEdit they return to normal.

Has anyone any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

I tried editing many files at once in jEdit v4.2, and got an error message from jEdit that there was not enough heap allocated. Back in the days of version 4.1, a simple fix was to increase the maximum heap size via Programs > jEdit > "Set jEdit Parameters" > "Command line options for Java executable", and setting it to "-mx64m". But now that Windows launcher and other handy things appeared to be missing in the new version, it seems I have to pass "-mx64m" as a parameter to jEdit.

So I tried adding -mx64m to the shortcut created during jEdit installation. (By the way, C:\_a\ is where I install all of my applications.) So...
C:\_a\Java\JRE\bin\javaw.exe -jar C:\_a\jEdit\jedit.jar
... which works fine, becomes...
C:\_a\Java\JRE\bin\javaw.exe -jar C:\_a\jEdit\jedit.jar -mx64m
... which doesn't work at all. When I enter that at the command line, nothing happens. I'm guessing that Java sees -mx64m as an invalid parameter, but unhelpfully does not report that.

I know I am able to pass parameters to jEdit, e.g.:
C:\_a\Java\JRE\bin\javaw.exe -jar C:\_a\jEdit\jedit.jar x.html
... opens the file just fine. But...
C:\_a\Java\JRE\bin\javaw.exe -jar C:\_a\jEdit\jedit.jar x.html -mx64m
... fails.

Any suggestions on how to get it to work?

Hi, I just update to 4.2-2jpp via yum, and now when I lauch jedit I get that :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/gjt/sp/jedit/jEdit (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
.....

I read somewhere that it has to do with my version of java and the version used to compile the program. Here I run jvm and jdk 1.4.2_06-b03 on Fedora Core 3. anyone can help?

Hi.When i first time run jedit it works fine then i turn off my computer and when i turned on the next time and try to run jedit i get a message: ELF binary type "0" not known.
Abort trap
I am using FreeBSD and jedit installed from ports.Please help me to solve the problem.Thanks.

I'm having trouble when ever I type the words 'in', 'and', as well as 'or' they disappear into a little box. Can somebody tell me what setting I need to change?

Thank you.

Hi, until recently I wasn't able to use ProjectViewer because there was no way to start it. There is no menu entry 'Start Project Viewer' or "New floating P. W,'. Finally I discovered I can use the plugin's actions 'Project Viewer (new floating instance' and 'Project Viewer (toggle)' to add them to the main jEdit context menu and start it from there. But I'm sure this is not the normal way. Is there something missing in my ProjectViewer's menu or is this normal? Thanks! /Kuba

The dialogs that opens when I click on the memory indicator int he status bar as well as error notices only show the title bar of the window and i cannot resize them. How can i restore the default size for those dialogs?
Using 4.2final on windows2000

thanks in advance

I have a problem getting æøåÆØÅ to work in jedit, I've tryed
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
and setting the encoding properties in the build.xml file.
I'm running Debian and æøåÆØÅ work in all other app's.

I have not tryed to compile it manualy without ant.

Hope somebody can help me getting to use this incredible editor more often.

Dear all,

let me first give kudos to the developers of jedit. I did not touch vim ever since I came accross it half a year ago. (Ok, expect on shh remote shell that is ). _Really_ handy all purpose thingy!

Thanks to this thread http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1651 I was succesfuly able to resolve some issues related to slow scroll speeds when starting jedit on the second monitor. (However, as this is my favorite one while the first mainly serves as documentation browser, I start jedit on the first, move it to the second. I could not find s.th. similar to the POWERPLAY tweaks mentioned in above thread.)

Now, here is my problem:
Every time I would launch a dialog ("file open, search etc.) jedit "forgot" the settings for position and size and squeezes the boxes in the horizontal direction. This only happens when using the second monitor, running on the first works fine.
Has anybody some advise for this? I could not find anything in FAQ/Bugrep./Forums, and maybe it's just a too exotic behaviour to file a bug report for this.
My setup:
- ATI Radeon 9600
- Catalyst 04.9
- 2 x 1280 x 1024

Thanks for any hints,
Jakob

Hi there!

I'm using JEdit to edit some files (mainly PHP and Python scripts) that needs to be encoded in UTF-8.
Even if I set the "auto detect" option "on" in open panel, JEdit always opens the files using the standard Cp1252 encoding instead of the UTF-8 one... does anybody know how to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Kind regards,
Matteo

All of a sudden the jEdit GUI under linux looks broken - fonts does not fit their boxes (some lists are undreadable because fonts are too big, others have too much space around them).

What can have happened? I don't remember doing anyting special except maybe messing around a bit with XF86Config ?

I can connect to the network to download the plugin list, etc.

However when I goto actually install a plug in, I get the error:

An I/O error occurred (Network is unreachable)

Please advise how to fix this problem. Java config issue maybe? Thanks. Log output below:

I have jedit 4.2 final running on XP and all is well.. except that the console plugin doesn't seem to allow me to specify a compiler for a C file. I cannot find where in the global options to map a compiler to mode, and under the plugin-options the only compilers that I can select for the C mode is ant, diff, hugs, java, javac, jikes, jmk, latex, openjade HTML, openjade PDF, and yap...

what am I missing? (beside the obvious).

all help appreciated.

I've been trying to find a way to load my current buffer within an external browser window.
I cannot get this feature to function properly from the InfoViewer and Project viewer plugins.
InfoViewer gives me the following message:
"java.io.IOException: Mosilla: not found"
Project Viewer gives me no response at all.
I was able to find one macro online that works only half of the time

I'm using jEdit 4.2 full on Mac 10.2X
Is anyone aware of another plugin that might be of use to me.
I think jEdit is a wonderful project for coding HTML/CSS and other files.
without a decent preview though... i'm better off using other tools

any response is appreciated.

Hey all... been using Jedit for a good while now, and it's the BEST editor I've come across for my HTML/XHTML/PHP/CSS/JavaScript needs.

I'm using 4.2, and when I use the metal look & feel, when the window is maximized, it takes up the entire screen... I've looked over the properties file, and I dont see anything obvious, but the other look & feels dont do that... I like the metal one mainly because I can edit the font sizes/types for the menu items, and buffer tabs, etc...

Any thoughts?

TIA!!!

I use xp.
I will translate Help Files into Korean.
But I don't find Help Files of Plugins.
Where are those?

Whenever I print out a document that exceeds 100 characters per line, the characters greater than 100 overwrite the previous characters starting around the 93rd character. This happens when I use Monospace 9 point. If I change the print font to Monospace 8 point, then the characters greater than 100 start printing about a half inch past the 100th character. If I turn on the "Print Spacing Workaround", the printout looks good, but the spool file is huge (30 Mb) and printing a 30 page document takes a long long time (It's much quicker for me to open another editor just to do the printing).

I know similar messages have been posted in the Mailing Lists, but I have a some questions not answered there:

1) Have other people seen this same problem? or is it my setup (Windows XP, JRE 1.4.2) How do you print wide documents?

2) What is special about 100 characters? Is this a Java limitations or JEDIT? Can this be set greater than 132 (or some larger number)?

3) If this is a Java bug, is there any hope of a resolution besides the workaround?

Thanks in advance, and even with the above problem, JEDIT is still one of the best around.
