jEdit
by jorpheus - Jun 26th 2008 17:46:13
As far as Java text editors go, this is the best of the three I've tried,
and as far as text editors in general go, this is on par with the best I've
tried. Wish it was a bit lighter, but then again, it isn't for quick edits
anyway, so no problem there. A really great editor!

jedit is a winner
by david a thompson - May 9th 2007 13:32:09
Thanks for making the world a bit better... I use jedit for nearly every
editing task at hand apart from quick edits (nano or vi) or coding in lisp
(emacs). I don't think I've ever come up short when looking for a feature I
needed (excluding IDE capabilities for lisp...) in jedit - syntax
highlighting, versatile buffer features, screen splitting, the
'hypersearch' feature, ... it all seems to be there. Thanks to the
developers for a great job!
And... as noted before... at least C-x C-s saves your file and doesn't
botch things up...

Light but Powerful
by Brant Langer Gurganus - Jul 12th 2004 11:28:39
jEdit is quite a powerful but light editor as is. However, it gives the
user the power to make jEdit into a powerful IDE with its plugins. It also
has an amazingly powerful macro system available.

Simply perfect
by Flim - Apr 1st 2004 07:44:23
A big thank you to everybody developing jEdit. I've been looking for an
editor that is able to handle ftp directly for ages now, and I never found
one that could do the job perfectly. Homesite on windows was pretty
convinient long time ago (I don't know about the current state as I'm no
longer using windows), but it's ftp functionallity was broken. Same goes
for Zend Studio - I've tried every single release and additionally have
been chasing them up to get an answer about the misbehavior of their ftp
implementation.
I started to use lufs (mounting ssh filesystems) time before to get around
this ftp problems and suddenly discovered jEdit. Jesus, besides ftp one of
the plugins even manages SFTP! Thats beyond my dreams and I simply love it.
I've started switching of ftpd on a couple of servers already;-)
I haven't tried to use it for java yet - I'm loving eclipse for that
language, but it's doing a perfect job on every single scripting language
I'm using for administrative work.
Thanks,
flim

Best Editor yet!
by Brad Peters - Aug 11th 2003 07:23:06
I've used a few editors in Linux (and Windows), including Eclipse,
Ultraedit32 and Kate, but I have found the editor I've been looking for.
Don't let the screencaps fool you, there is a lot more functionality thanks
to the numerous plugins. Great app!

Brilliant piece of FREE software
by Gammer - Nov 29th 2002 02:19:21
jEdit is just amazing. The intelligence and elegance of the design is
admirable! For the novice it looks very interesting, but after installation
of some basic plugins and adjustment of docking and the like it becomes a
brilliant. Me and a lot of collegues switched to jEdit for most of our
development tasks. Platform independence (I have jEdit even installed on my
key fob USB memory stick!) makes jEdit the winner. For large multi MB
files I still use others, but I rarely "edit" such monsters. Some
really good platform INdependent monospaced fonts is the only add on I
currently wish to have...

JEdit is fabulous
by Brendan Patterson - Mar 1st 2002 10:26:08
Being a contractor I need an editor that does it all, runs on all
platforms, can be installed quickly/easily, is preferably open source and
is above all powerful.
JEdit is IMHO the best of all these. No other editor even comes close when
taking into account these criteria. I used emacs for many years. Its great
but hard to master. JEdit has features that I never found in emacs like
recursive dir search/replace. And its very simple for a novice to pick up.
The plugin manager should be the model for all other editors.
At my two recent customer sites all the developers have converted to using
JEdit.
This is open source at its best.

25Megs
by WrongWay - Jan 1st 2002 13:24:43
While I agree 25 megs might be alot for a simple text editor. This is
no simple text editor. The features are numerous, and it since its java
(not my language of choice) it runs everywhere. winblows linux mac sun etc
etc etc...
If your a programmer looking for the perfect editor get this with the
whitespace module.. and your all set....

Beautiful editor. Ugly memory requirements.
by Brak - Mar 23rd 2000 14:12:07
JEdit is an excellent editor. The functionality is top-notch and the
interface is slick. The only problem is its appetite for memory, which is
probably a Java issue. I personally cannot afford 25 megs for a text
editor. I hope the authors will find a way around this issue, as the
editor shows a great deal of promise and would provide an ideal
cross-platform solution for those of us who must edit on both *NIX and Win
platforms.

Still no Emacs bindings?
by jetson123 - Feb 11th 2001 18:01:39
In 2000, Slava mentioned that there would be "key maps" in 2.7 or 2.8 that
would allow Emacs-like bindings to be implemented. Unfortunately, we are
up to 3.x now and there is still no sign of them. Any idea when they might
arrive? I think support for key maps and/or Emacs key bindings would make
jEdit much more interesting for a lot of people.

Recently he mentioned they will be there in 4.0final. (We're at 4.0pre2 at
the time of this writing, with 4.0pre3 currently under development.)

Re: Still no Emacs bindings?
by George Lippert - Jul 11th 2003 17:30:48
I can't strongly second the desire for Emacs key bindings enough. After 20
years of Emacs my fingers can't speak anything else. I keep checking back
with the JEdit site every six months or so but I'm loosing hope. :-(

Well why don't you contribute some emacs bindings then?

Re: Still no Emacs bindings?
by Robert Morelli - Mar 26th 2004 10:13:39
Emacs keybindings (along with some other simple emacs
emulation) is a simple and no-brain obvious need for a programmers editor.
Just about every emacs user who
tries jedit is going to wonder the same thing. How is it
that it's still not there? Open source software ... sigh.
If someone indicates roughly what needs to be done,
I'll try to do it myself.

Hey, C-x C-s saves the document and doesn't do anything bad. That's
better than vim, which I always freeze that way. :)
JEdit is head-and-shoulders above any XML editor I've tried. I'd love to
say I used it for Java, but most of the plugins haven't caught up with
JDK1.5 yet. The core for the latest release (pre13) seems to work fine
with JDK1.5. I'm salivating at the prospect of checkstyling and jalopying
my 1.5 code.
(Hey C-x C-s isn't submitting this form!?! I'm gonna go complain at the
mozilla site. :)

Agreed. This is the only thing keeping me from moving to it. If it was a
fixed 25meg overhead, I could probably live with it, but a few plugins
easily double that. It also uses at least 3 times the size of the file
being edited making it not a good editor for handling multi-megabyte files.
Leaks aren't good either.
But the functionality is just amazing!
