JEDIT(1) jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor JEDIT(1) NAME jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor written in Java SYNOPSIS jedit [ options ] [ files ] DESCRIPTION This manual page briefly documents jEdit's command-line parameters. Com- plete documentation can be found by invoking the Help->jEdit Help menu item within jEdit or by invoking jedit -usage. jEdit is a cross-platform text editor written in Java. It has an extensive feature set that includes syntax highlighting, auto indent, folding, word wrap, abbreviation expansion, multiple clipboards, powerful search and re- place and much more. Furthermore, jEdit is extremely customizable, and extensible, using either macros written in the BeanShell scripting language, or plugins written in Java. With plugins, you can create a very powerful development environment for HTML, XML, C/C++, Python, Perl, Ruby, Lisp, Scheme, and many others. jEdit Requires A Java Runtime Environment Version 11 or later. jEdit is released under the GNU General Public License, which can be found in the online help. GENERAL COMMAND LINE USAGE When opening files from the command line, a line number or marker to posi- tion the caret on can be specified like so: $ jedit MyApplet.java +line:10 $ jedit thesis.tex +marker:c Command-line switches begin with a "-". Some take a parameter. A file whose name begins with "-" can be opened like so: $ jedit -- -myfile MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS -log=level Set the minimum log level to an integer between 1 and 9.
