Re: Why is 'Methods' (note the PLURAL) a *Keyword inJEDIT??

[billfen]

The Eclipse plugin allows the user to specify the color, font, font size,
etc. at the keyword (in context) level.  The user can change them at any
point, and variable identifiers with the same name as a keyword are not
colored the same way as an actual keyword.  

So Thomas, if you want "Methods" to be big pink italics with a box around
it, you can do that in Eclipse.  

I assume it is easier for many people to stay with JEdit than it is to
learn Eclipse, and of course people should use tools they are comfortable
with.

jEdit includes elaborate control of syntax coloring precisely because
programmers tend to feel strongly about this, and to disagree.  Getting rid
of METHODS as a key word will presumably make Patric (for one) unhappy.

Why not invite contributions of NetRexx mode files, along with sample
output, and let users choose?  They can pick the one closest to their
dreams and modify it as desired.

[ThSITC]

Hi Bill,
I would be happy when I could find the time to *learn* ECLIPSE and
NetBeans *now* ;-)

But I'm so busy currently to deply the new version of Rexx2Nrx (now all
in NetRexx), and also
RexxForm (my brand new Rexx Formatter (any Rexx Dialect)) as the next steps.

I'm also still busy to deploy DB-123, PP, and ReyC on the respective
KENAI projects
as all of my tools do share the same Scanning, Parsing, Code
Normalization, and Code
Generation routines. This all will be OPEN Sourced under the ICU Licence
(on Kenai)..

Concurrently, I'm negotiating with IBM Austria here, to offer the same
products
as a Value Added (and fully supported) 'Software as a Service' (SAS) on
the IBM
Cloud.

I simply want to finish this nearly never ending story, until I do focus
on new
developments (mainly on Natural Language and Mobile Phone Translation).

But as I did invest all of my money in the development of PP the past years,
I am currently in a position where I would need a project *getting money
for*
with utmost importance (for me, personallky (financially).

I'm also, frankly speaking, in Contact weith HP and Oracle for DB-123
and PP.

For me, this all is a nice game.

I'm a Piano Player (my big Hobby), don't forget that!° ;-)

Thomas.
