[ jEdit-devel ] All Plugin developers: Macro for Plugin Announcements

[Jeffrey H. <jc...@gm...>]

All plugin developers,

In order to make things easier and more uniform, I wrote a macro that
will guide you in creating a Plugin release announcement.  It will
automatically parse most of the information out of your plugin's
.props file, and prompt you for the rest.  At the end, it creates a
new buffer in jEdit with a section you can just cut and paste into
your submission.

To use it, simply open up your .props file in jEdit and run the attached macro.

This is the first beta release.  Its has not been extensively tested.
I would appreciate any feedback and testing you can do.  If all goes
well, I would like to request that this be used for all future plugin
submissions.

Thanks,

Jeff
