[ jEdit-devel ] FEEDBACK jEdit 2.5 and IBM JDK 1.3 :)

[burtonator <bu...@re...>]

Tonight is a good night :)  I get a new jEdit and it looks like IBM just
released JDK 1.3 (they graduated it from AlphaWorks) !!!

jEdit 2.5

- I like the new installer
- Splash graphic is the best yet.  Lets never change it :)
- Should we remove FileWatcher from P.C.? This functionality is now
within jEdit so I think this is redundant and could confuse some people.

- jEditCommander threw an NPE:

[error] java.lang.NullPointerException
[error] 	at QuitAction.actionPerformed(QuitAction.java:10)
[error] 	at
JEditCommanderPlugin.handleMessage(JEditCommanderPlugin.java:83)
[error] 	at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.send(EditBus.java:88)
[error] 	at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.exit(jEdit.java:1624)

IBM JDK 1.3

- Fonts are screwed up by default... I think they are providing them as
a separate download.

- The JIT is very slow when first run.  It needs to be a little
quicker.  After it runs though everything is fine.

- Keyboard mapping seems to be screwed up.  I can't setup a binding for
'S+F11' for QuickBuffer :(... I set it but it doesn't do anything.  If I
set it to just a regular key like 'F' and then I hit 'F' on my keyboard
it works fine.  :(
