Modifying Jedit to do what you want is much easier thatn BBEdit and the XML/ XML-insert plugin is another bonus (arrow key completion based on dtd or other sources.) I would give Jedit a for ease, but it needs more mac users giving feedback to address issues in the pre-releases (like nightly builds) and issue's with java on Mac OS X. Since the existing xinsert entities are enough to get one hooked, it's worth noting that it is similar to the BBedit glossary system, but kills it when it comes to writing a glossary. The xinsert plugin is becoming common in more and more programs and it is one of the more useful features. Writing syntax coloring modules (if the one/you want somehow isn't available is much easier than BBedit. Once set up, Jedit is easier to use than BBEdit (or any other editor with it's feature rich set). Folding takes a while to get accustomed to, but it's rewarding and the help system is quite good. The plug-in manager (which is being re-written) makes it quite a slow load if you have tons of them. The minus point in jedit is because it's java and it takes a little while to get into the swing of things. As far as features it is at least on par w/ BBEdit.Įase of Use: I gave this a 4 and I would rate BBEdit there as well. And remember.unless you launch it to the background it will quit when you close your last session. Do yourself a favor and try ignoring the 'not recommended' part of the mac os plug in visual setup. The more feedback we can get into this project the better our experiences will be. I recommend downloading the mac version just for statistics.

This is a major effort at a quality application and the project seems to have a lot of momentum. Some plugins require java 1.4, but jedit is smart enough to only download the required ones. In fact, if I test a version I can just use the java installer and the only difference I'm getting is the app name. The 4.1 release runs w/ java 1.3 (still on most people's machines) unless you edit it to use 1.4* I turned on hardware acceleration and had no problems.

Also, showing the search at anytime (grep enabled of course) is a big plus over a panel.

Jedit download mac code#

For those who code I recommend adding the xinsert and xml plugins to the interface. It almost a never leave environment once you have it set-up right. There are plugins that give you a console, telnet, ftp, cvs, project management, a web browser, an irc client, headline grabber, etc. The docking system for commands is a MUST this is far superior to the BBEdit floating pallettes because you can do some serious interface customization. You can then set custom folding that's as close to a function pull-down as you can get, but still maintains the advantages of code (visual structure). Furthermore it's reccommended that you download all the plugins (this doesn't take very long at all and is done from the program). Folding is turned off by default, but you can set it to fold (collapse the code) based on the document formatting. Jedit is missing the function popdown that is in BBEdit, instead it uses a system called Folding. Since we get BBEdit as well it's a good idea to compare the two.įeatures: I gave this a five because of the default feature set and the plug-in architecture. I own BBEdit and have tried most editors on the market, but it seems like the non-mac users are finally getting an editor which is about the same as BBEdit. Jedit from is my editor of choice for practically any project. Multiple selection (sometimes known as 'discontinuous' or 'additive' selection) for manipulating several chunks of text at once.

Jedit download mac windows#

Multiple open windows and split windows are remembered between editing sessions.

Alternatively, different locations in one file can be viewed in more than one area

Any number of editor windows may be open, each window may be split into several areas, each area can view a different file and keep track of an independent set of buffers.

Marker locations are saved across editing sessions.

'Markers' for remembering positions in files to return to later.

Rich set of keyboard commands for manipulating entire words, lines and paragraphs at a time.

'Kill ring' automatically remembers previously deleted text.

Copy and paste with an unlimited number of clipboards (known as 'registers').

Efficient keyboard shortcuts for everything, with predefined keymaps for Emacs, Intellij IDEA, and OS X (5.0).

Runs on any operating system with a Java 1.6 or higher virtual machine - this includes MacOS X, Linux, Unix, VMS and Windows.
