Macros.confirm() is not a bad idea.  In the meantime:

	if(JOptionPane.YES_OPTION ==
		JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(view,
		"Are you sure?", "jEdit",
		JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION))
	{
		//...
	}

If you use this often, put the following in your startup directory:

boolean askYesNo(View v, String query)
{
	return JOptionPane.YES_OPTION ==
		JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(v, query,
		"jEdit", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
}

The View parameter causes your dialog to be centered on the current view
when you call it with "view", and puts the cute jEdit icon in the dialog's
upper-left corner.


>   A suggestion, write API documentation for BeanShell

There is a whole section of the user's guide devoted to writing macros.
There also an API guide for the jEdit classes most frequently used in
macros, as well as for BeanShell built-in commands.  Do you think something
else should be added?
