NetRexx/ jEdit struggle

[Robert L Hamilton]

I've been encouraged to re-try jEdit/NetRexx;  seems there have been some changes with NetRexx 2.0.x. ( x = 2 or maybe 5). Does anyone have any recent experience with these in combination?

thanks for your time and enjoy the day

Hi Bob,
Could you explain what you mean by using jEdit and NetRexx in combination?  For example, I ordinarily keep them quite separate and just use jEdit to edit NetRexx source and look at NetRexxC output.  Used in this way there are no interactions between the two, and a change in either has no effect on the other.  Of course, if you require NetRexx plugins for jEdit, things could be more complicated.  If you are doing the latter, you might consider simplifying things until you are more comfortable with both systems.

Seems to be working after new install of jedit:

This

say date()

parse date() a b c d e
say a
say b
say c
say d

say e

gives this

Tue Jul 27 09:38:26 CDT 2010
Tue
Jul
27
09:38:26
CDT 2010

in the output window. . .

I don't think the original install was right somehow.;  thanks for the help

Hello Bob,
   years ago I tried jEdit a lot, for various languages, and was very impressed. I then went back to Ultra-Edit, as jEdit at those time computers
was simply too slow for me. As I do now really need syntax highlighting, I did stick with UltraEdit for the past 5 years at least.

   After Kermit Kiser did announce NetRexxScript, and David Requena his NetRexxDE, I gave JEdit a new trial, and surprise, surprise:

The performance issues were gone. I'm using a three year old DualCore Pentium Fujitsu Siemens as the desktop.

I'm still experimenting with NetRexxScript and NetRexxDE, but usually am still using the approach George describes, i.e.:

- enter JEdit
- do the Editing required
- leave jEdit
- use NrC for compilations

I did try Jedit for NetRexx, COBOL, and PL/I -- and the syntax highlighting works perfect for all three languages.

The only advise I do have: do *not*, repeat *not* load JEdit plugins you do not require. this will slow down the system
start time comsiderably.

For the start, try to follow George's advise and become accustomed with both products, before you go further.

Both are excellent, and NetRexxDe seems to integrate them very well (thanks, David!).

kind regards from Vienna,
Tom.
