How do I set an enviromnment variable for JEdit on Linux ? There is a shell script to run Jedit on Linux, which eventually calls java passing the jedit.jar but if I set and export an environment variable from within that shell script, JEdit is not picking it up. |

what environment variable are you setting? If you're exporting it in the
script that launches jedit, it should definitely see it.
Should it be a define passed on the command line, perhaps? ("-D" switch)

I am exporting it in the script that launches jedit but it does not
appear to be picking it up. The reason I say that is that the Project
Viewer plugin has an option which can use environment variables as a
prefix to paths when accessing project data. But in Linux the
corresponding environment variable is not being used by PV even after I
have set and exported it in the launch script.
Is there a way in jedit to get it to show what environment variables are
in effect when I am using it ? Perhaps the console plugin lets me see that.

I do not know. is this the way to add an environment variable so that
jedit picks it up when it is run ?

Double-check you are running the script you think you are. It works fine for me, for variables such as EDITOR and VISUAL. "which jedit" from the prompt tells you what it will run when you type "jedit" On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 1:00 PM, Edward Diener <eld...@tr...>wrote: > On 10/10/2013 10:33 AM, Eric Ladner wrote: > > what environment variable are you setting?

The environment variable is being set correctly in Linux but ProjectViewer is not using it on Linux to find the path to projects there when the variable prefixed paths PV option is checked. I also noticed in Project Viewer on Windows that even when I set a project path using all forward slashes ( and all interior paths in the project xml file to forward slashes ) to accomodate the path on Linux, Project Viewer on Windows silently sets everything back to back slashes. Is this what is confusing Project Viewer on Linux, that the path is showing back slashes rather than forward slashes in the PV.xml and project XML files ? |

If you are trying to get interoperability between pv.xml files on windows vs linux, and also using variable-prefix filenames, that could explain what is happening. I've never tested that ability.

I've never tested that ability. Yes, that is what I am trying to do, Is that not the main purpose of variable-prefix filenames ?

But it requires more changes to PV (and possibly also jEdit) than I was ready to make. Currently, there is interoperability between Mac and Linux but not between Windows and the other platforms.

Similar. Actually all forward slash characters in the PV XML files become back slash characters on jedit in Windows. So naturally on Linux these become incorrect paths. |
