I swear by jEdit
I have been using jEdit since version 2.0 and I swear by it. That is a lot coming from someone who used to be married to Emacs. It has tons of advanced features for programmers and web developers that it indispensable and the plugins are great. I also love the fact that it is a Java application, that means I can carry it back and forth between multiple platforms and keep the same environment and settings no matter where I am.
Screen menubar...
I tried this modification, but my menu bar is still in the main window ... any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?

It worked for me, but beware that you cannot use TextEdit for this. Try to open the file in jEdit itself, then add the line (copy/paste) at the bottom, so its on its own line there, save, quit jEdit and restart it.

You gotta make sure you have the Mac OS Adaptive setting is set in the for the Swing Look and Feel. Also as "egilDOTnet" mentioned in his post, you can't make the edits with TextEdit. When I made the changes I actually did it from the CLI with emacs as root, but that might not be necessary.
I had used vi...but...
for some reason, it didn't work. I opened the file again, deleted the line that was already there, pasted the same line again, saved, and ... everything worked!
Re: I had used vi...but...
Glad to hear it worked out. It is much nicer once you configure it to work like a native app. Now, once apple releases the 1.4 JDK/JRE maybe we will get our mouse wheel working!
Re: I swear by jEdit
I have just downloaded, installed and tried JEdit on my iBook. Works fine, but I would like to adapt the look to something a bit more Aqua-like. When I followed your instructions, I could not find the resource file you mentioned... (and yes, I was looking at the right place).
Re: I swear by jEdit (addtional info)
Better late than never: after some email with the author of the tip (thanks again!) I have found out that my problem is NOT how to change the resource file (I have done so with other Java apps), but how to ACCESS the file!
Re: I swear by jEdit (solution)
My problem in accessing the file is caused by the access rights to the folders and files in the jEdit.app folder. |
