Chapter 10. jEdit Plug-in

Describes the installation and usage of the Jalopy jEdit Plug-in.

10.1. Installation

Explains the steps involved to install the jEdit Plug-in.

10.1.1. System requirements

The Jalopy jEdit Plug-in requires at least jEdit 4.1pre1 and MessageView 0.1.0. If you want to import/exprt XML settings, you need the XML Plug-in also. Refer to the Jalopy user manual for the basic requirements to run Jalopy (You may find the latest version on the Jalopy website, http://jalopy.sf.net/installation.html)

To obtain more information about this wonderful Editor, visit the official jEdit homepage: http://www.jedit.org/

10.1.2. Installation

The Plug-in comes either as a single .zip or compressed .tar archive. Unzipping either one of these files into a directory of your choice (referred to as <INST_DIR>) will produce two subdirectories /docs and /lib.

..
  docs/      contains the documentation
  lib/       contains all necessary libraries

If there is already an older version of Jalopy installed, you have to remove it prior to install. Open the Plugin Manager via PluginsPlugin Manager, select the Jalopy Java Source Code Formatter entry and press Remove Plugins.

Further installation is simple: just copy all .jar files contained in the <INST_DIR>/lib folder into the /jars directory of your jEdit distribution. jEdit will then need to be restarted before Jalopy begins working.
