Rust released version 1.0-beta a few days ago: http://www.rust-lang.org/ I've attached a patch that adds a Rust edit mode to jEdit.

Auto indent is really easy because braces are required for anything that increases indent (like an if statement).
Here is an example I've used to test that the highlighting is correct:

Thanks!
