Oh, I see you already found the mailing list so I will copy my answer 
here for all to see.

I don't know about

I don't know which StructureBrowser you mean, but yes, JavaSideKick is a 
service provider for SideKick and in its properties you can set up what 
you want to see. I see full method signatrues in my SideKick.

Ask the creators, the most plugins are from contributers, not from the 
core team. I guess JavaStyle was built earlier and then Beauty came as a 
framework for several languages, not only Java. Additionally JavaStyle 
is rather old, I don't know if it even still works.

Maybe it is not compatible with the current API changes. This should be 
reported to the JSwat project, maybe it gets fixed. Maybe, because JSwat 
changed its internal structore completely and got rewritten to fit into 
the NetBeans plugin architecture and the author didn't/doesn't make any 
effort to make the current JSwat version available as jEdit plugin. I 
use JSwat as standalone version. Maybe if I ever find the time I will 
look if I can make a JSwat plugin that works with current JSwat, or 
maybe you want to do it? Be welcome :-)

Without a reliable way to reproduce and more information like errors in 
the Activity Log or something, it isn't determinable what your problem is.
