I performed the tutorial above and it worked correctly using the new location (make sure you update the macro's open command to point to the new folder).

Check out <a href="/2007/12/06/trap-flash-cs3-compiler-errors-and-line-numbers-in-jedit-2/" rel="nofollow">this article</a> for details.

Autocompletion doesn't work ? have you seen into the shortcut general option panel on "Complete word" ? This is a simple completion but very usefull. On my blog I have wrote (in french) some tickets about JEdit and ActionScript to build swf with Ant module and Open-source tools (mtasc, swfmill, flex2sdk) ;) Hello !

True, the file dialogs are a little "cross platform" for my tastes, too, but don't let their crude looks fool you: They're actually amazingly well thought-out! For example, the "favorites" menu is a great place to store hidden directories (e.g., "~/.jedit"), and once you use the FTP/SFTP plugin, it's incredibly snazzy to see the Open dialog work with remote sites in the same way it does with local files. Still, the looks could be made a little better. If you haven't already, check out <a href="/2007/09/27/going-native-with-jedit-new-download-makes-this-editor-shine/" rel="nofollow">this article</a> and the other articles in this series to make the rest of the app a little bit more "Mac-like."

OK, so its not Aqua friendly (looking at the 'Open...' dialog I thought 'they're 'avin a larf') but I can now actually code in actionscript. Thanks for your efforts and info so far. oh happy days.

I have been a long time fan and plan to blog about customising it to make it look nicer too! I agree with you that initial looks is ugly and so I struggle to get my colleagues to accept it :) My angle is from the web developer perspective. Will let you know when I finally get to blog about it! By the way, you mentioned that "Note: On Windows, I think the equivalent directory to ~/.jedit is C:\\Program Files\\jEdit, but I won't swear to it." It is typically "C:\\Documents and Settings\\{username}\\.jedit" Hi, I was pleased to come across your various articles on JEdit.

Check <a href="/2007/09/27/going-native-with-jedit-new-download-makes-this-editor-shine/" rel="nofollow">the new post today</a>, which goes into detail about plugin installation (and the troubles you're likely to run into).

Actually, now that I re-read your comment, I'm not so sure that's the trouble. In a pinch, you can usually download the plugins (as JAR files) the old-fashioned browse-and-click way from the jedit.org site. Once you have them, place the *.jar files in your ~/.jedit/jars directory, and they should work (although this may require that you restart jEdit; to be honest, I'm not sure).</em> Geoff, funny you should mention that.

I'd love to test this out, but every time I try to download plugins it fails to find any. I tried all the mirrors. Maybe I got a bad build? Very interesting.
