Re: [ jEdit-devel ] fundamental plugin implementation questions ...

[Brad M. <mac...@mr...>]

plugin dependecies should reside in $JEDIT_HOME/jars or 
$USER_HOME/.jedit/jars, just like plugin jar files.
the dependencies need to be listed in the plugin's properties file.  
More info can be found in the user's guide->writing plugins->proeprties 
file and in the javadoc for org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditPlugin

I checked out the link since anything with 14 dependencies must be 
interesting.  JXTA seems to integrate with every piece of software known 
to man, so it's hard to figure out exactly what it's for.  JXTA showed 
up several times in my searches for the Rendevous protocol (RVP) used by 
Exchange.  Does it have any sort of client which could connect to 
Exchange's IM server?
