[ jEdit-users ] File Association with windows Explorer

[Bob F. <rob...@ie...>]

Sirs:

I have just begun experimenting with jEdit (Version 4.3pre9 using java 
1.6.0) on my Windows XP machine.
It is a very impressive program, that I hope to adopt for my main text 
editor.

However, I can't resolve the problem of associating jEdit with a file 
type so that when I double-click on a file it opens the file with jEdit.
(Right-clicking on the file gives the option of opening the file with 
jEdit, and this works fine.)
I tried to associate the file type with jedit.jars and that does not work.
I tried associating it with jedit.bat and that sort of works. When I 
double click on a file, it quickly opens and closes an extra window. 
This is annoying; but I could live with it, except that, occasionally, 
it fails completely.  I am currently using a modification of the 
furnished .bat file

The FAQ under Usage Questions, File Management mentions jEditLauncher 
and jedit.exe. Apparently, I missed something since I don't believe I 
have a jedit.exe file anywhere. This is probably something very simple, 
but I really would like to get this working correctly.

The archives have several references to this issue, but I have not found 
a solution.

Thanks,

Bob
