[ jEdit-devel ] fill me in, please!

Hi, list,

Sorry about the previous blank mail from me, it was an accident.

I have to start my introduction from the statement that I love JEdit ... for
a couple of months now, ever since I found it on the web, and started using
it some, then some more, and now most of the time.

The only slight lack of a feature of two still keep me from using it
exclusively over emacs for all my work, is the fact that it seem to do only
Shift_JIS out of the three japanese encodings, which is sad for most of the
development in japanese on linux platform is done in EUC.  I googled on the
EUC in connection with JEdit, and couldn't find anything. Then I looked in
the plugins and it wasn't there too. Besides, I am not completely sure
whether this is a core feature or has to be plugged it.

Well, anyway, if the feature is already implemented somewhere in the debris
of development activities of which I am sure there's plenty around JEdit,
then I guess I wasted a bullet.  I got the logic for SJIS - EUC
translations, and besides, Java's native tool does both SJIC and EUC, so I
guess program-wise there should be no limitation whatsoever to implement it.

So, just like I said, I am shooting in the dark room, so whatever somes back
from you should be an enlightment.  I would love to participate in the
development apart from that encoding issue as well, and have already started
reading the programmer's guide, but any quick first-hand "Come on in" from
the list would be great as well.

Whatever comes back will be greately appreciated.
