nice editor app
Dear All,
Sorry if this is noise ....
I just found a new (to me) editor that works very well with XML.
It is a general purpose code editor which merely has facilities
for XML.
JEdit <http://www.jedit.org>
What I like about it:
handles entity resolution catalogs
validates while typing
tag completion
folding
XML tree view
XSLT processor (not working ?)
macros in javaish language
ftp plugin (no webdav or html upload .... yet?)
The folding is very nice! It works by using the indentation of
your XML to put arrows down the left hand side of the editing
pane, allowing you to show/hide parts of your tag hierarchy.
This is a feature I have long missed since I stopped using
Frontier!
JEdit has a large number of optional plugins, they are
downloaded via the App itself, some of the functionality above
requires plugins not included with the dist, so do have a look
at what is available.
Hope this helps
regards Jeremy

And if you are using MacOSX, you can make this modification to
get menu bars at the top of the screen rather than the window:
Add the following line :
com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar=true
to the file:
[/Applications/Text/jEdit/]jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/MRJApp.properties

Use Java 1.4 on windoze as well, it doubles the speed.
One currently missing plugin is access to CVS, but
give it time.

Wow, thanks for letting us know about this. It's a really nice
editor. The number of plug-ins available and the ease of installing
them is excellent.
BTW, if you're using Linux it's worth getting Java 1.4 so that the
mouse wheel works and the fonts look better.

The BEST thing about jEdit is that you can lunch VIM/GVIM
from it when you need the raw power that only VIM can provide.

I use it as well. One of my favorite things about XML editing with
jEdit is the fact that I don't have to make mistakes when I am closing
an XML element.
If I type:
"<cool-feature>
<inside-tag/>
</"
jEdit will finish the closing tag for me:
"cool-feature>"
It is invaluable when working with tables and such. (this is a feature
that was lifted from ColdFusion Home Studio, but implemented better).

I'm using this one for about 9 months, and that says enough, doesn't it?
You also have a lot of plugins, which beautify java code, auto-complete
of variables, etc etc.
The most important (imho) is the fact that you can do everything (at
least, everything I do: java progging, xml editing, text editing, ...)
with 1 editor, so remembering one set of keystrokes is enough (although
they are a bit queer sometimes, but this is customizable).

Nice if you have a fast machine. Sadly scrolling speed sucks on it if you
have less than a 1Ghz proc. Apart from the speed issues I'd venture to say
that jedit is the best text editor I've ever seen, period.
Another nice looking one just released is JAXE:
http://media4.obspm.fr/jaxe/Jaxe_en.html which finally gives us an open
source XML editor that doesn't use the god-awful tree view.
