And a third...
Authored by: bjorn on Apr 29, '02 09:28:41PM
I'm actually using JEdit as my primary editor for doing Java development (I just can't quite bring myself to suck it up and start using VIM - I like my mouse too much) so I am using it pretty much 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, and am finding it a highly productive environment. In addition to the notes above, it also has a nicely robust java-based macro language (it uses BeanShell), and the community site has a number of macros available for download. On the plugin side, for developers, I *highly* recommend getting ctags up and running, and the upcoming version of SpeedJava (I got an early preview from the developer :) ) is spectacularly useful as well - a really nice class browser combined with pretty effective code completion. I really have trouble coming up with any major downsides to JEedit - it is quite an impressive little editor.
