I did initially come across a syntax highlighting bug, but after reporting it to the jEdit team, it was fixed for the next pre-release (number 14, so you can tell how hard they work on this editor).Īn article about Python IDEs hosted on IBM DeveloperWorks mentions jEdit: JEdit is packed full of functionality, more than I required, and it is amazingly bug-free. JEdit won the Resource Centre UK - Shareware of the Month award in September 2004:Īt first I was dubious about using an editor which relied on the Java Runtime Environment, as I am very possessive of system resources, but after giving it a try, I am glad I put that concern out of my head.
If you code on multiple platforms then this is a tool that you can probably use across all of them. Of course being coded in Java means that it is platform independent, and can run on any platform that has a run-time environment, from Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris to VMS, OS2 and Mac OSX. If the mere thought of running a Java app makes your blood run cold then think again - more than one user has been forced to think again after giving jEdit a spin. Coded in Java, it's a fine example of a Java desktop tool that looks good, is packed full of useful functionality and has snappy response times. JEdit is a open-source multi-platform, multi-language programmers editor and development environment. In fact, JEdit is quite competitive with proprietary programs, so web developers on any platform would benefit by giving it a try.
It may also be the single best Java-based application I've seen, in the way it balances capability and performance (JEdit is not the resource or memory hog that some Java programs have been in the past). JEdit is a great open source application, one of my long-time favorites. Last Site Update: 03 September 2020 | Stable Version: 5.6.0
