[ jEdit-announce ] Plugin Central updates

[mike d. <md...@je...>]

Hello jEdit aficionados-

Today, I've added a new plugin to Plugin Central, TaskList 0.3.4 by John
Gellene and Ollie Rutherfurd, in addition to updated versions of 6 other
plugins. Except for LookAndFeel 0.8, which will work with either of the
current jEdit series, these plugins are all jEdit 4.0 only.

* BufferSelector 1.0.5: updated for the jEdit 4.0 Toolbar API; requires
  jEdit 4.0pre7 and JDK 1.3

* ErrorList 1.2.2: fixed possible NullPointerException under Java 2
  version 1.4; error highlight didn't work properly when soft wrap was
  enabled; if the "show on error" feature is enabled, the error list
  will now open in the currently focused view, not the most recently
  opened view as before; requires jEdit 4.0pre4 and JDK 1.3

* LookAndFeel 0.8: option pane to switch between Skin, Oyoaha, and
  Kunststoff look and feel implementations; attempts to install look and
  feel without restart; updated documentation to use DocBook; added help
  for new look and feels implementations; requires jEdit 3.1 and JDK 1.2

* TaskList 0.3.4: initial Plugin Central release; requires jEdit 4.0pre5
  and JDK 1.3

* Templates 2.0.2: fixes a bug on Windows platforms where BeanShell
  would throw an exception on encountering a backslash in a template
  file path (reported by Arvo Verhoeven); requires jEdit 4.0pre4 and JDK
  1.3

* TomcatSwitch 0.5: each Tomcat version now has a user definable
  classpath that can be prepended or substituted to the default
  classpath; launching Tomcat without specifying the necessary options
  is forbidden; "HOME" options are now initially set to "UNKNOWN"; the
  single OptionPane has been split into an OptionGroup; fixed a bug that
  allowed to launch Tomcat using a JVM different from that specified
  with the JAVA_HOME preference (thanks to Calvin Yu); requires jEdit
  4.0pre2, Console 3.1, JDK 1.3, and Jakarta Tomcat 3.2.x, 3.3.x, or 4.x

* XML 0.8: control-double clicking on a tag in the text area opens the
  Edit Tag dialog box; tag completion popups and the XML Insert window
  now only list elements that can be inserted at the caret position;
  option added to only show the ID attributes of elements in the tree;
  closing tag completion can now be used in HTML files; XHTML 1.0 and
  DocBook-XML 4.1.2 DTDs are now bundled with the plugin, so no extra
  configuration is needed to get on-the-fly validation and completion in
  XHTML and DocBook documents; much faster tag matching and
  highlighting; the catalog manager should now be able to locate XML
  schemas and use them for validation purposes; XSL element completion
  popups no longer list HTML tags as well (this feature will be
  reintroduced when namespace support is added to the XML plugin);
  Entities to Characters and Characters to Entities commands now convert
  <, > and & as well; only the first 100 parse errors are reported now,
  this prevents gratuitous slowdowns if for example a file has 500 parse
  errors; added option to allow downloading DTDs from network (this is
  disabled by default as it is a privacy risk); fixed
  NullPointerException when invoking the Parse XML Buffer command; tag
  and entity completion popup now explicitly returns focus to the text
  area; if you entered a tag or entity that was not in the current
  buffer's completion list, trying to enter ">", ";" or a space would
  not work; Entities to Characters would throw an exception if the text
  contained an unknown entity; fixed possible race condition in XML
  parsing code that could result in a NullPointerException; requires
  jEdit 4.0pre4, ErrorList 1.2.1, and JDK 1.3; includes Xerces 1.4.4
