[ jEdit-devel ] InfoViewer 0.3 and JIndex 0.6

[Dirk M. <dmo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I just put an developers only release of InfoViewer and JIndex on
http://titan.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~moebius/jeditplugins.html .

You will be pleased to hear, Kevin, that JIndex is now a HoldablePlugin
and can be plugged anywhere. 

To the other developers: Kevin did a very good job here. To switch my
plugin from Frame to Holdable, I had to change about 6 lines. My code
became smaller, because I threw away the geometry management. I would
every plugin developer encourage to switch to HoldablePlugin (if it
makes sense, of course).

One question, Kevin: How can I determine if any instance of my
HoldablePlugin is docked in the current View? I couldn't find anything
apropiate. Until this is cleared, the action for opening doc on the
current token (S+F1) is disabled. You have to enter keywords in the
search field by hand.

Slava, you will be pleased to note, that I'm now using the ViewURL and
ShowTokenInfo messages from the EditBus plugin. As a consequence, both
plugins now depend on EditBus 0.8 or higher. My own old messages are
gone.


ChangeLog for InfoViewer plugin
======================================================================

Version 0.3
-----------
* Has two new commands: "View current buffer in InfoViewer" and
  "View selected URL in InfoViewer" (Copied from the HTML Plugin). 
  Thus, InfoViewer has now a submenu on the plugins menu.
* The Go to: field is now a history field.
* Now listens to ViewURL messages (from the EditBus plugin) instead of 
  ViewInfo messages. This means, that InfoViewer is dependant on the
  EditBus plugin, but other plugins can utilize the InfoViewer without
  knowing it at compile time. The ViewInfo message from version 0.2 is
no
  longer.
* BugFix: no longer adds itself to EditBus (jEdit does this).
* Requires jEdit 2.2pre9 or higher and EditBus 0.8 or higher.


ChangeLog for JIndex plugin
======================================================================

Version 0.6
-----------
* JIndex is now a HoldablePlugin. You need the PluginHolder plugin.
* The menu entry "Plugins->JIndex" just opens the plugin in it's docked 
  area. The command "Open JIndex on the current selected word/token"
(used
  to be S+F1) is temporarily disabled until the next release.
* Split bar between key list and topic list
* No longer depends directly on InfoViewer (uses messages from the
EditBus
  plugin) at compile time. But you need InfoViewer 0.3 or higher to
display 
  the documentation pages.
* Now listens on messages of type org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.ShowTokenInfo
from
  the EditBus plugin.
* BugFix: no longer adds itself to EditBus (jEdit does this)
* Requires at least: jEdit 2.2pre9, EditBus 0.8, PluginHolder 0.0.3
* InfoViewer 0.3 is recommended.




Greets,
Dirk.
