jEDIT rocks solid!
Authored by: egilDOTnet on May 01, '02 06:39:51AM

I am used to an environment where I can have dozens of textfiles open at the same time without cluttering my desk totally. I havent found any other good MacOS editors that does this, but jEdit fits my bill! I really love the ability to jump back and forth between various documents like I am used to from earlier experience, not to say the brilliant bracket matching!

One thing though: My mousewheel does not work with it!... buhu... Is it possible to get this to work in some way?

I think that the scroll wheel issue is with the version of Java that Apple uses. I think Sun fixed this issue when they released 1.4 ( Apple still uses 1.3.x) but I'm not sure.

You can indeed add scroll wheel support to jEdit: you just have to install one of the "plugins" that are available on the jedit.org site. Too bad that this plugin requires Java 1.4, and thus will not work on Mac OS X (but it does on Windows, if you install the J2SE 1.4)...
