Availability on NetRexxJe 1.0.1. Compatible with latest JEdit

[drequena]

Hi All,

Please find bellow links to this release which is compatible with JEdit
Versions 4.3x

Note that this distribution doesn't include NetRexxC proper so you'll need
to install manually. Just
copy NetRexxJe.jar and NetRexxC.jar to your JEdit's installation jars
directory. On Windows
that would be C:\Documents and Settings\username\.jedit\jars, on Linux/unix
probably
/home/username/.jedit/jars

Please come back with any bugs. I hope I didn't forget to package any
files...

Binary release:
http://personales.ya.com/drequena/NetRexxJe-101bin.zip

Binary plus source as mandated by GPL v2
http://personales.ya.com/drequena/NetRexxJe-101bin+src.zip

If anyone has any pointers as to how to contact Satguru P Srivastava I'll
be much grateful.

Saludos / Kind regards,
David Requena

Thank you David. This one works for me. I am now able to run JEdit
4.3pre17 with the NetRexxJe 1.0.1 version! Compile, generate Java code
and run program all worked fine.

On a related topic - I was never able to make NetRexx scripting work
with the SuperScript plugin under JEdit 4.2 - Does anyone know how to
make it work with 4.3?

Hi Kermit,

Glad NetRexxJe works for you now.
Only places where major changes where made where the pluging load subsistem
and the nrxParser class. So these're the areas to look for bugs introduced
by me..

Now that if been looking at this codebase again, if been playing a bit with
it. I modified NetRexxJe's own build system to use the ant-netrexxc task
and it seems to work quite ok. May be adding some Project Viewer plugin
integration code would provide for a minimal project based NetRexx IDE.
I'll be looking into this in the next few weeks.

I've been looking a bit into that SuperScript plugin too. To be honest I
didn't even know of it and doesn't seem all that useful to me but... well
this seems to be more of a bsf's problem than superscript's.
I couldn't get standalone bsf to evaluate without errors anything more
complex than 'Hola, amigo' either. You can't even use things like "Say
'hello'"...

Dear David,

Thanks for this.  I have just downloaded JEdit 4.3pre17 and installed  
NetRexxJe 1.0.1, and (after a little faffing around to get JEdit to  
load the other plugins NetRexxJe uses) it all seems to work for me  
(Mac OSX 10.5).

I have used NetRexxJe (until now on JEdit 4.1/4.2) for quite a while.  
It is simple and effective (for a simple user like me!), but I was  
increasingly concerned that its days were numbered.  It's good to know  
there are kind (and smart) folk out there willing to help out.  Thanks  
to you, and of course Satguru Srivastava for the original.

Glad it works for you too, Phil.
On OS X!!

It wasn't all that difficult, really. I got into this some time ago just as
a way to learn NetRexx working with some real code :-)
In the end I learned more about general jEdit plugin development than about
NetRexx itself. And then, NetRexxJe coding
style is mor like programming java in NetRexx. You know, using Hasmaps were
NetRexx indexed strings would suffice
and things like this.

Hi David,

Re jEdit Superscript plugin --

I would give a somewhat significant part of my anatomy for the ability to
write jEdit plugins in NetRexx!  I've tried it and I can't see that any of
the "automatic" variables related to buffers, text area, etc are passed to
NetRexx, though the documentation claims they are.  I didn't try the jEdit
forum because I've been reading it for years and I've never seen NetRexx
mentioned.

Any light you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
George Hovey

Dear George,

hmm... this must be a non NetRexx specific issue as writting jEdit Plugins
in NetRexx differs in no way form doing it in java. Except for that, well,
you code your classes in NetRexx ;-)

I won't go into a full description of the process now, which anyway would
be off topic on this list I think, but in general:

a - You setup some property and xml files which conform the glue bethween
jEdit and your pluguin. These indicate jEdit which classes to load and
which methods to call at different points in time.
b - You code your classes extending certain superclasses and/or
implementing certain interfaces so jEdit will call key methods with
appropiate parameters when needed.
c - Some functionality is just provided by the classpath setup by jEdit.

This way, in the context of the NetRexxJe plugin, following examples apply:

a - the docables.xml file contains the following snippet:

      <DOCKABLE NAME="NetRexxJe">
            new NetRexxJe(view, position);
      </DOCKABLE>

      This way jEdit knows to instantiate class NetRexxJe when the plugin
activates.
      Note that the first argument to the constructor is an
org.gjt.sp.jedit.View instance
      which provides access to EditPanes, Buffers, and whatnot

b - NetRexxJe class header is like class NetRexxJe adapter extends JPanel
implements ActionListener, ComponentListener, EBComponent
      Here, implementing EBComponent allows our class to to receive and
handle messages form jEdit's Edit Bus

c - By importing needed packages or using fully qualified class names you
can call static methods directly as in

      import org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit

      ... some code ...

      isProjectModeActivated = jEdit.getBooleanProperty(
"plugin.netrexxje.UseProjects")


There's not much else involved. Try to have a look at NetRexxJe's source
which is all NetRexx or try to rewrite a simple plugin such as QuickNotepad
so you gan get the feel.
I'll be whilling to help with any specific doubts which my arise.

[George Hovey-2]

Dear David,

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response to my query about jEdit
plugins.  Unfortunately, I phrased my query imprecisely.  I am not
necessarily interested in writing a plugin in the strict sense, though that
is the functionality I need, primarily to leverage jEdit's coloring engine,
as an adjunct to a product of mine.

I am leery of the plugin approach because I see that its API cannot be
counted on from release to release and I am afraid of creating a maintenance
nightmare.

My thought is that the scripting approach might be more trustworthy since,
hopefully, the jEdit developers would bend over backwards to avoid breaking
end user-written macros.  Since I want to write in NetRexx, SuperScript
sounded worth exploring, but given what you have learned it doesn't seem
possible to even try it.  So I think I will work on an approach that is not
directly coupled to jEdit.

Again, thanks for your help
George Hovey

P.S.  I will keep your plugin "mini tutorial" handy as it is very
illuminating.
