RE: [ jEdit-users ] Internal version control system & getting rid of Save

[Jim U. <jim...@ne...>]

Call me old fashion, but I don't like IDEs.  That is why I use JEdit.  It is
a super editor, and it lets me maintain control over what I'm doing.  It
saves when I tell it to save and compiles when I tell it to compile.  The
only thing close to an IDE I use is a product call Simplicity, which I use
only for its screen painter.  Once I have created a window, dialog, frame,
etc I use JEdit to complete the code.

A mentor of mine once told me "real programmers only need an editor and a
command line". :)

You should try VisualAge for Java sometime - it has a 'repository' that
does about the same thing that Kristian proposes. It's quite nifty,
actually, but it takes some getting used to.

However, although this feature fits in the 'IDE' view of jEdit, it should
still be usable as a simple editor and hence removing the Save option is a
bad idea IMO.
