[Jython-users] Jython plugin for jEdit

[Carlos Q. <car...@we...>]

Hi all

I just developed a JythonInterpreter plugin which integrates the Jython
interpreter into jEdit. jEdit is a very powerful edit written in Java
including syntax coloring, auto indentation and many other features. It
includes this features for Python and so it can be very useful for Python
and Jython developers alike. It can be found at http://www.jedit.org.

You can further customize jEdit by plugins. The plugin I just wrote is based
on a slightly modified Console plugin, which gives access to shell commands.
A Console.jar is included but it will be removed for the Console's next
release 2.6.

The Interpreter is a normal Jython interpreter and it can be used for any
normal jython interpreter task and jEdit customization. A default buffer
variable is auto included. This
makes very easy to execute the current file by execfile(buffer.getPath()).
This makes jEdit a sort of basic IDE for Jython

The plugin can be found at http://koti.welho.com/cquiroz/jedit/

It is just developed and not widely tested, so I want to know if it is
useful for Jython and Python developers, suggestions and bug fixes.
