Το πρόβλημα αυτό διορθώνεται με τις εξής ενέργειες:

1. Εντοπίζουμε στο Finder το jEdit.app
2. Κάνουμε δεξί κλικ στο εικονίδιο του jEdit και επιλέγουμε τη λειτουργία 'Show Package Contents'
3. Στο φάκελο που εμφανίζεται, ανοίγουμε με κάποιον editor το αρχείο 'Contents/Info.plist'
4. Εντοπίζουμε τη γραμμή με την επιλογή JVMVersion, αντικαθιστούμε την τιμή '1.5+' με την τιμή '1.6+' και σώζουμε την αλλαγή.
5. Τέλος, σβήνουμε το αρχείο 'Contents/Resources/Java/jars/MacOS.jar'

Minden jó webszakácsnak, mielőtt céhtaggá válna, szüksége van egy jó szoftverre, melyben lefekteti elméje termékeny talajában kicsírázott kreatív elképzelését a leendő honlapjáról. Ehhez én a jEdit szövegszerkesztőt használom már évek óta. Nyílt forráskódú, ingyenes szövegszerkesztő, mely alapból tudja a kényelmi szolgáltatások zömét. Ha nem lenne elég, számos pluginnel bővíthetjük. Jó hírnevét tovább öregbíti, hogy nem csak a webszerkesztéshez, -programozáshoz használhatjuk fel.

Méltánytalan, hogy másodikként esik szó a böngészőkről, de nekem most ez így felelt meg a legjobban, hiszen ami ezután következik, már főleg ezekhez kötődik. Jegyezzük meg! Nem a profik egyedüli kötelessége a különböző böngészők szabványaihoz igazodni. Ez mindenkivel szemben alapvető elvárás, aki belevág ebbe az izgalmas és kreatív tevékenységbe. Éppen emiatt szükségünk van Firefoxra, Safarira, Operára és természetesen Internet Explorerre is. A továbbiakban az egyes böngészőkhöz (én leginkább a Firefoxra és az IE-re összpontosítok) különböző kiegészítőket kapcsolhatunk. Ezek nálam a következők:

Firefox

• A klasszikus minden webfejlesztő számára kötelező darab: Web developer toolbar.

• Ugyancsak nélkülözhetetlen éke gyűjteményünknek a Firebug kiegészítő.

• Hasznos, de nem nélkülözhetetlen az előbbiek mellett a CSSViewer.

• Majdnem elfelejtettem, pedig nagyon sokszor a segítségemre volt a MeasureIt, mely egy vonalzóval teszi mérhetővé a weboldalak egyes elemeit.

Internet Explorer

• Az Internet Explorer egészen az utóbbi időkig, a 7.0-ig kevéssé foglalkozott azzal, hogy a szabványoknak megfelelően jelenjenek meg a weboldalaink, mely az érintettek körében drasztikus hajhulláshoz vezethetett. Szerencsére a helyzet változóban van, de még mindig akadnak olyan szörfölők, akik a korábbi (különösen az 5.5 és a 6.x) verziókkal látogatják a világhálót. Kell tehát egy eszköz, mellyel megszemlézhetjük az alkotásunkat ezekben, illetve jelen állás szerint a 8.0 bétájában is. Erre találták ki az ingyenes IETester programot.
• Szintén az IE-t teszi hasznosabbá a FF Firebugjához hasonló kiegészítése a Debugger és a Companion JS.

Most, hogy már minden hasznos segítségnek a birtokában vagyunk, csak tudásra, időre, kreativitásra és kitartásra van szükség. Egy webfejlesztőnek ilyen 'pluginekre' kell szert tennie, de ehhez sajnos nincsenek linkek. :)

Örömmel veszem, ha az érintett kör megosztja velem a saját repertoárját. Csak bátran!

It seemed appropriate to start off this blog with a hello world post. So... hello... world. I am a PHP programmer / Web Designer / Server Maintainer / indentured servant at the Wonderful Acadiana Educational Endowment. We are a nonprofit group supporting education throughout the U.S. by hosting a nonprofit bookstore, http://booksxyz.com. We also serve the Acadiana area (where we are located) with http://cajunfun.com and http://ultoday.com.

I was encouraged to start this blog in an effort to record my issues with various platforms on the web so I won't forget and so others find them. I work in straight PHP 5, the Zend Framework, and ezPublish for the sites I work on, and I hope that in reading this, you resolve whatever issues I might be able to help with.

Being that this is a hello world post... I'll start by making some short notes on my recent activities as a programmer.
ezPublish: All in all, and no offense to it's developers, but I do not like ezP. To be fair, I had little experience with the underlying framework, ezComponents, going in. However, the documentation is poor, and the templating engine is... in a word... bad. It also creates an enormous database (this is not directly an issue, lots of software needs a big database, but in this case... it is difficult to find what you are looking for in that thing).

Zend FrameWork: I started working with ZF about two weeks ago. I love it.  I have been working in PHP about two years, and I still don't know the deep internals of the language, but this was no limitation with ZF. The documentation is superb, and, most importantly, updated regularly. It has a fluid API and just generally makes sense.

Jedit: Last thing I want to comment on is Jedit. Again, I am in love. Up until I started work with the zend framework, I used putty+vim to do all the editing on the site. A good friend of mine recommended Jedit when he found out I was working in ZF, so i thought I'd give it a shot.
My plugins are as follows: FTP, ssh console, CSSeditor, Editor Scheme Selector(just for ease on the eyes), and PHPParser Plugin. Using the setup I have, jEdit is essentially an IDE allowing me to work remotely on the server with multiple files without all the annoyance of xMing tunneling (which I have found to be unreliable).
It has code folding, a full featured file browser (which supports remote directory listing), and a really effecient docking system. Plugins are easy to install and integrate... it just generally rocks.

Well, for now I am not a happy MacBook owner, I cannot use the "Number One", for me the last two are choices, and for mac users all are available :). All are great editors, I use Vim without any problems, to edit config files and another minor edits, I know how to use most of its features, by the other hand, the Emacs I had just some little testings some time ago, and I see it is also a great editor,for both is possible enable code completion to Python and Ruby, the languages I am working on.

Everything great, everything beautiful, a lot of "plugins" available for both, and the Vim is a very powerful editor. (For all those newbies to Vim/Gvim/vi, there is a config (customization) called Cream, that make the use for Vim very easy without loose the power and get the use of Vim very similar to another Gnome applications such as Gedit). But, nor Vim neither Emacs are the editors I was looking for. I want something powerfull and, at same time simple as Gedit.

So I found jEdit. No it's not a typo, is jEdit (in Portuguese you spell same as Gedit), but jEdit is really a Java Written Programmers Editor, by this way it is cross-platform, and I was tested by me in a Windows computer and in mine laptop Ubuntu(hardy).

After some tests and.... the best editor I already been used.

Some features:

• Multiplatform
• Filebrowser
• Customizable by language
• Easy to add support to new programmming languages
• A lot of plugins available
• Macros
• Integrated console[plugin]
• Integrated SCM (SVN, CVS, etc) [plugin]
• Search by regular expressions
• Code completion [plugin]
• Text Autocomplete [plugin]
• Diff [plugin]
• Task List (TODO List similar to my Gedit plugin) [plugin]
• SuperAbbrevs (Code Snippets) [plugin]
• Tabbed Documents(and another inteligent modes to change between files) [plugin]
• Code Folding
• Sintax Highlight very complete
• and more...

Some screenshots:

is really a good choice install and test in your computer… it's free, its OpenSource.

Bem, como eu ainda não sou um "Feliz proprietário" de um computador Mac, não tenho a possibilidade de utilizar o "Número 1", restando os dois últimos, que para os felizardos usuários do Mac também estão disponíveis como opção para eles :). Eles são realmente ótimos editores de texto, eu uso o Vim com certa tranquilidade para editar arquivos de configuração, e já domei muitas de suas funcionalidades, por outro lado o Emacs eu dei apenas algumas testadas algum tempo atráz, editor muito bom, com features de code completion assim como o Vim você consegue habilitar tanto para Python quanto para Ruby, que são as duas linguagens que eu tenho trabalhado ultimamente.

Tudo ótimo tudo muito bonito, uma gama bastante grande de plugins disponíveis para ambos, e a personalização do Vim é incontestável. (uma dica para os que estão começando em se arrepiam ao terem que entrar no vi/vim/gvim... existe uma configuração chamada Cream que facilita 100% o uso do editor para novatos, sem perder a flexibilidade). Porém o Vim e o Emacs não são os Editores que eu procurava. eu queria algo que fosse poderoso e ao mesmo tempo simples assim como o Gedit.

Coincidência ou não acabei encontrando o jEdit. Não , não é erro de grafia, é jEdit mesmo, em português a pronúncia é a mesma do Gedit, mas na verdade o jEdit trata-se de um editor para programadores que foi escrito em Java, portanto ele é totalmente multiplataforma, testado por mim mesmo em um computador com Windows e no meu computador com o Ubuntu (Hardy).

Feitos alguns testes e... o melhor editor que eu já usei até hoje!

Algumas Features:

• Multiplataforma
• Filebrowser
• Personalizável por linguagem
• Fácil adição de suporte a novas linguages
• Vasta quantidade de plugins disponíveis
• Macros
• Console integrado [plugin]
• Integração com softwares de Versionamento (SVN, CVS, etc) [plugin]
• Busca por expressões regulares
• Code Complete [plugin]
• Text Autocomplete [plugin]
• Diff [plugin]
• Task List (TODO List similar ao plugin mantido por mim do Gedit) [plugin]
• SuperAbbrevs (Code Snippets) [plugin]
• Tabbed Documents(e outros modos inteligentes de alternar arquivos) [plugin]
• Code Folding
• Sintax Highlight bastante completo e personalizável
• e muito mais

Realmente vale a pena você instalar e testar em seu computador... afinal não custa nada, é OpenSource.

Pequeninos screenshots:

Muito em breve estarei postando mais a respeito deste fantástico editor e algumas de suas features, espero que todos apreciem.

Abaixo vou colocar uma lista com algumas das IDEs que já testei, outras que baixei mas não usei ainda, e alguns editores, agradeço se vocês comentarem dizendo quais IDEs usam e seus motivos (pontos fortes e fracos)

Zend Studio - ótima interface, PHPDoc embutido, hide/expand os métodos, mas o FTP é bem ruim...

HTML-Kit - Editor muito leve, FTP ótimo, muitas opções de configurações e plugins, não te deixa na mão, mas peca na interface. Adicionando vários plugins ele fica bem legal, e bem pesado também.

jEdit - Simples demais, passei uns 10 minutos usando, mas achei que faltava muita coisa, me parecia estar usando a calculadora básica do windows, mas sem o botão de "scientific mode".

Aptana Studio - visual cool, apesar da minha primeira experiência com ele foi de cara uma tela de erro do windows com relação ao Java, é muito interessante, com recursos similares ao Zend Studio. Uma feature legal é um grid com as tarefas que você pode adicionar e depois validando como realizada ou não. Isso evita você ficar perdido no projeto.

PHPed - usei há muito tempo atrás, teve várias mudanças, será que alguém é a favor?

Não mencionei aqui IDE nem editores pra MAC, I´m sorry.

Conto com a participação de vocês para dizer quais IDEs usam e porquê.

Web tasarım alanında 2-3 yıldır süren çabalarım ve çalışmalarım sonucu tanıştığım, kullandığım, kullanmadığım ama methedildiğini bildiğim; her biri kendi alanında işini iyi yapan yazılımları bir araya toplamak istedim. Bildirgec.org'ta yer alan aynı adlı yazı da tarafımdan hazırlanmıştır. Belki oraya ulaşamayan yada üye olmadan düşüncelerini yorumla dile getirmek isteyenler içinde buradan yayınlamakta mahsur görmedim. Mouse'unuzun sol tuşunu ard arda tıklamaya hazırsanız buyrun yazıya. :)

Ücretli Yazılımlar

Adobe

Go Live: Adobe tarafından çıkarılan ve belki de amacı Dreamweaver ile rekabet etmek olan yazılım, 9. sürüme yeni ulaştı. Şu an deneme sürümü indirmeye açık. Artık dreamweaver ile rekabet etmeyip kardeşçe çalışıyorlar. Yazılımı daha önce hiç kullanmadığım için (dw fazlasıyla işimi görüyor) belirgin özelliklerinden bahsedemiyeceğim. Ancak bu piyasada tutunmaya kararlı görünüyor. Deneyin. Yurtdışı fiyatı 399$

Hkv Software

• PHPMaker: Kod yazmak zor mu geliyor? Öyleyse bunu denemenizde yarar var. Manuel olarak yazacağınız kodların pekçoğunun işini bu programda bir kaç tıklamayla yapabilirsiniz. Deneme sürümü. Fiyatı 99.95$

• ASPMaker: Yukarıdaki programın yaptığı işin aynısı. Sadece programlama dili, adı üstünde asp. Deneme sürümü. Fiyatı 99.95$

• ASP.NET Maker: Evet asp'den sonra gelen bu yeni nesil ve daha gelişmiş yazılım diline de destek var. Deneme sürümü. Fiyatı 99.95$

• CFMMaker: Macromedia tarafından üretilmiş olan ve artık Adobe bünyesinde yaşamını sürdüren cold fusion programlama dilini dahi düşünmüşler. Ne derece işe yaradığını bilemiyorum tabi ki. Deneme sürümü. Fiyatı 59.95$

• JSPMaker: Jsp = Javaserver pages. Sun tarafından geliştirilen java tabanlı programlama dillerinden, tıpkı asp, php gibi sunucu taraflı olarak web dünyası için kullanılan sayfalar yapılmasını sağlayan bir yazılım. Deneme sürümü. Fiyatı 59.95$

Php Designer 2007 Pro:

Ücretsiz Yazılımlar

Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions Web Developer: Asp günümüzde yetersiz bir hale gelmiştir. Karşısına rakip olarak çıkan php, cold fusion gibi dillerin üstünlüğü nedeniyle microsoft bu duruma sessiz kalamazdı. .NET tabanlı, aspx uzantılı sayfalar hazırlanmasında maksimum fayda sağlamaya yönelik yazılımın ücretli sürümü de mevcut. Ancak ücretsiz olan bu yazılımda pek çok konuda yardımcı olabiliyor. Programı indirip kurduğunuzda örnek şablonları da görüp incelemeniz mümkün. Ancak farklı bir prosedür sözkonusu. Önce minik bir yazılım indiriyorsunuz ve onu çalıştırdıktan sonra asıl yazılım için gerekenleri download ediyor. Bittikten sonra da kuruyorsunuz.

Jedit: Bu programla düzenlenebilen dilleri saymaya kalkarsam oldukça uzun sürer. Zira 130 dile destek veriyor. Java ile yazılmış programın Macosx, Windows, Linux için sürümleri mevcut. Denemenizde yarar var. Üstelik sadece 3 MB.

Aptana: Bu yazılım ücretsiz web editörleri arasında belki de en çok sevilenlerden biri. Gittikçe genişleyen özelliklerinden en önemlileri, Adobe AIR ve Rails desteği. Bu sayede daha kompleks işlere imza atabilirsiniz. Bu yazıyı hazırladığım sırada programı 587211 kişi download etmiş. Denemek isteyenler buradan.

SciTE: Xampp gibi, Ruby paket yazılımı olan instantrails içinde gelen bir editör. Sadece 800kb'lık editör mü olur? Olurmuş. Tabi ki kendisinden kat kat büyük yazılımlar gibi görsel sayfa düzenlemesine izin vermiyor. "Sadece kodlarla çalışırım" diyebiliyorsanız bunu da alternatifleriniz arasına ekleyebilirsiniz.

Notepad2:
Hiç denemedim. Ancak çok seveni olduğunu biliyorum. Tabi ki yine görsel düzenleme(wysiwvg) şansımız yok. Kod canavarları hemen deneyebilir.

Ems SQL Manager 2007:
Hem Mssql hemde Mysql için ayrı ayrı yazılımlar var. Web sayfalarınız üzerinden veritabanı güncellemesi yapmak size zaman kaybı gibi gelebilir. İster yerel ister uzak veritabanına bağlanıp değişiklikler yapmanızı sağlayan bu yazılımları tavsiye edebilirim. Kullanıyorum ve memnunum.

Mssql Manager 2007 download.

Mysql Manager 2007 download.

İyi kodlamalar...

• Smultron - O editor com o melhor ícone do MacOSX, para além disso está recheado de funcionalidades. Desta lista é aquele parece mais familiar para quem migrar do Textmate.
• Vim - Um must para todos os geeks do unix. Se acha o rato a pior invenção do século XX, então este é o editor de eleição. É um verdadeiro canivete Suíço.
• TextWrangler - Esta é a versão pobre do BBedit (pago) que é tão louvado por tantos utilizadores. Apesar disso é muito completo e integra-se muito bem com outras aplicações como por exemplo o Cyberduck(FTP).
• jEdit - Escrito em Java tem muitas funcionalidades interessantes, como os painéis simultâneos. Para quem quiser manter-se num mesmo ambiente entre Linux, OSX, Win, (e não está para aprender a trabalhar com o Vim) esta é escolha lógica. Contudo, ser em Java, fá-lo parecer um pouco lento e pesado.

Useability

Fix the keyboard to Dvorak (following is for Windows XP -- this will likely change for Vista... it shouldn't be this complicated!)

1. Open Control Panel: START > Control Panel
2. Choose "Regional and Language Options" (why not Keyboard???)
3. Select "Languages" tab, press Details... button (sigh)
4. In the "Installed services" section, select "Keyboard", then press "Add..." to add a new keyboard layout
5. Find US-Dvorak in the list
6. In the "Default input language" section, set the default language to English (Australia) - United States-Dvorak
7. In the "Preferences" section, press "Language Bar..." button
8. Make sure that "Show the language bar on the desktop" is turned on, to make it easier to switch to QWERTY if needed
9. Back in "Preferences", press the "Key Settings..." button
10. Turn off all the language Hot keys

To get rid of that horrible, garish blue/green stock XP theme, I use the Zune theme from Microsoft. It sucks less (the theme, that is, not the MP3 player, that sucks more than iPod).

Make Explorer a bit useable. Actually Explorer is total crap, and I'm still searching for a replacement. I like MidnightCommander in Cygwin (mc), and Konqueror in KDE. But for Windows, there aren't a lot of free Explorer replacements, except maybe Windows File Explorer. Anyway, follow these steps to have Explorer at least be not so stupid:

1. Open an Explorer window (anywhere)
2. Select "Tools > Folder Options...", "General" tab
3. Make sure that under "Browse folders", the option is to "Open each folder in the same window" (Explorer doesn't do multi-windows like Macintosh Finder: it screws them up)
4. In "Click items as follows", turn on "Single-click to open", and "Underline icons only when I point at them"
5. Select the "View" tab
6. Turn on the following:
   1. "Display the full path in the address bar"
   2. "Display the full path in the title bar"
   3. "Do not cache thumbnails"
   4. "Show hidden files and folders"
   5. "Show both parts and manage them individually" (for web pages and folders)
   6. "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color"
7. Turn off the following:
   1. "Hide extensions for known file types"
   2. "Launch folder windows in a separate process"
   3. "Remember each folder'sview settings"
8. Press the "Apply", then "Apply to All Folders" buttons
9. Press "OK"

Programs

Install these programs at a minimum:

• Firefox (essential add-ons: del.icio.us, DownThemAll, English (AU) Dictionary, Flashblock, ImageZoom, QuickProxy, Foxmarks, GSpace)
• Launchy
• Windows File Explorer (a free, sort-of orthodox file manager for Windows)
• Virtual Dimension (Virtual desktop support for Windows)
• No Machine's NX Client for Windows (so I can connect a high speed X session to my home machine)
• OpenOffice.org (also use JustLocal's dictionary / thesaurus files to get spell check working)
• Cygwin (include the X11 modules, Emacs [make sure to select ver 22], pdksh, subversion, python, clisp, fortune, mc, ssh, units, etc....)
• Java SE DevKit
• Subversion for Windows (version control)
• NetBeans (6.0 or greater has everything I need)
• Audacity audio editor and encoder
• VideoLAN Client movie player
• Illiminable DirectShow filters for OGG Vorbis (to play .OGG files in Windows Media Player)
• MODPlug (because sometimes a good MOD fits my mood)
• GIMP image editor
• IrfanView image viewer

Emacs

Once Cygwin and Emacs are installed, I need to add my dotfiles (from backup), and also install these emacs add-ons:

• SLIME
• PSGML
• PSVN (not strictly needed, since emacs22 adds SVN support in VC mode)
• CEDET (this is not trivial to install, I still haven't figured it out)
• JDEE (requires some or all of CEDET)
• cyg-emacsclient (wrapper to add Emacs to your SendTo folder, and have it actually work)

CEDET and JDEE might be more trouble than they're worth, especially since I'm installing NetBeans anyway. They seem cool (especially the enhanced speedbar), but they're not exactly plug-and-play. Jury's still out.

E is a collaborative text editor taylored for the windows platform. While there are plans for *nix versions, windows is the only platform it runs on.

If you want to get your hands on this editor, just simply head over to www.e-texteditor.com.

An Intergrated Development Environment Gets in the Way

I've been developing websites for quite some time. In that time I have grown accustomed to the likes of Dreamweaver and Golive for designing and publishing my web projects. While these IDE's are great for what they accomplish, I always felt frustrated and hindered.

Overtime I began to cut back on the features required to get the job done. I realized that a boat load of features didn't really help improve anything. As of late I'm back to the basics, a simple text editor. Its interesting as your career progresses you end up needing less to accomplish the same tasks.

Welcome to E

When I heard about this apparent Textmate port to windows, I was ecstatic yet skeptical. There were a lot of things that I've come to expect especially in the breath of comparisons to textmate. Needless to say my expectations were somewhat met.

Using E

The user interface is simply elegant and this alone lets you get straight to coding. While I've grown use to having 20+ toolbar icons staring at me daily, I certainly don't miss them.

Using E was fairly effortless. However, the beta at the time was lacking and very buggy. Syntax coloring was a bit skiddish. Overall this editor was destined to be great with rough edges. Aside from all the problems, I still got things done.

E touts a strong adherence to collaboration and sharing code. In E you can set milestones and see updates by other developers as they happen. Code and syntax coloring is a joy to modify as well. Having been a user of jEdit (yet another text editor) I found E's ability color my syntax refreshingly flexible.

Project management is dead simple. Open a directory as a project and go to it. The whole idea of E is to bring a light weight effective editor to table. Sure their is a liscense requirement to continue using it but don't fret. The developers of E have made it free until its out of beta.

In part two of this series I will be touching on bundles and code snippets/abbreviations.

Playing with my neighbours Macintosh, I quite like the fonts you can see in the Terminal program and in Xcode:

Mac hacking screenshot (not mine)

I wish Windows and Linux had nice fonts too. Well, my wish is granted. Thanks to this great site, which reviews monospace fonts from a programmer's point of view, I've found three fonts I just love, and (no surprise), two of them come from Apple and are freely available.

I agree with the review. The best all-round monospace font is definitely Bitstream's Vera Sans Mono. It's clear, and uncluttered with good distinction between the similar characters 1 i l | and o O 0. Importantly, the font width doesn't change with different weights, so if your syntax highlighter makes some keywords bold or slanted, they are still the same width as the normal words, meaning that the alignment doesn't break in jEdit.

I really love Anonymous though. As it's home page describes it, this is based on Apple's Anonymous 9 font, which itself was a re-working of Monaco, the system font for the Macintosh. Anonymous is highly legible, even more than Vera Sans. I really love the zeros, they look like a backwards Ø character. Also though it's a san-serif font, the i and l characters have serifs cleverly placed to distinguish from the 1 and | characters . The only problem I've found with it, is that the bold characters are ever so slightly wider than the normal characters, so in syntax highlighting, the alignment gets slightly skewed.

The Monaco font, which is the basis for Anonymous, is also pretty nice but has the same issue with the font weights. It's interesting to compare the two and see what was changed. The zero is a more traditional slashed 0 (sort of like Ø) and some of the round shapes are different.

Here's a shot of my jEdit using Vera Sans Mono:

jEdit Vera Sans Mono

Since that's rather small, here's a close-up:

jEdit Vera Sans Mono - Detail

]]> http://sinewalker.wordpress.com/2006/06/07/jedit-macros-vs-emacs-functions/ Wed, 07 Jun 2006 00:03:13 +0000 sinewalker http://sinewalker.pl.wordpress.com/2006/06/07/jedit-macros-vs-emacs-functions/ I've been playing with customising jEdit a little bit, and decided to have a go at writing some simple date insertion macros. These perform the same work as some old elisp functions I wrote years ago in Emacs, to insert date/time stamps in various formats. In my .emacs file, I bind these functions to short-cut keys, and then use them for updating Changelogs in code and in offline journal entries.

Here are my original elisp functions, which are self describing:

(defun insert-date-iso ()
  "Inserts the current local date and time (to the minute) into the current buffer
before Point. The data are formatted per ISO 8601 specification. This is useful for
prefixing entries in a log book."
  (interactive)
  (setq now (decode-time)
        final-string (format "%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d+%d"
                             (nth 5 now)          ; yyyy
                             (nth 4 now)          ; mm
                             (nth 3 now)          ; dd
                             (nth 2 now)          ; HH
                             (nth 1 now)          ; MM
                             (/ (nth 8 now) 36))) ; UTCO
  (insert final-string))

(defun insert-date-stamp ()
  "Inserts the current local date into the current buffer before Point. The data are
formatted per ISO 8601 short specification and prefixed with my initials 'MJL'. This
is useful for inserting mod comments into code files."
  (interactive)
  (setq now (decode-time)
        final-string (format "MJL%04d%02d%02d - "
                             (nth 5 now)          ; yyyy
                             (nth 4 now)          ; mm
                             (nth 3 now)))        ; dd
  (insert final-string))

(defun insert-date-dow ()

  (interactive)

  (setq now (decode-time)
        final-string (format "%04d-%02d-%02d %s"
                             (nth 5 now)                 ; yyyy
                             (nth 4 now)                 ; mm
                             (nth 3 now)                 ; dd
                             (nth (nth 6 now) DOWlist))) ; day
  (insert final-string))

These are fairly simple, the only obfuscated part is the way that the output list now has been created from the (decode-time) built-in, which then has to be picked appart to get the different date elements for formatting.

Compare this with the jEdit equivalents, which are written in BeanShell. Each macro is in it's own .bsh file, rather than all together in a single file like the elisp functions, and the documentation is done in XML, rather than as a doc-comment in elisp:

The comments are lot more verbose, but you can see the Insert_Date_ISO-MJL macro at work in the script comments above. Also, the Java SimpleDateFormat class makes formatting much simpler to read, I feel, but even with BeanShell's ability to use untyped variables (for example, in BeanShell you can say “dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat…”, instead of Java's “DateFormat dateFormatter=new SimpleDateFormat…”), the code is still not as elegant as the elisp version.

However, I think I'm starting to like jEdit over Emacs (blasphemy!). Mind you it's slow: it makes Emacs seem zippy, and traditionaly Emacs stood for “EMACS Makes A Computer Slow”!

On a side-note, there is a nice plugin for jEdit, called Code2HTML, which renders your code in HTML, with syntax highlighting to match that done by jEdit (and jEdit knows a lot of languages!). Unfortunately when I pasted the generated HTML into this WordPress post and then saved it, all the highlighting got removed… I wonder if it has something to do with the plugin's use of <SPAN>s and CSS Styles? But even if I paste the <STYLE> block into this post as well, the formatting gets eaten up by WordPress :( Something to look into.

I should add that my flirtation with jEdit is over, by the way. Back to emacs for me, and I'm repenting for my blasphemous ways...

Cannot list directory: com.sshtools.j2ssh.SshException: Authentication has not been completed!

Al buscar en el google, encontre que el jEdit tiene una comunidad de usuarios, y dicho problema ya estaba documentado:
http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1616

Al leer toda esa palabrería en resumidas cuentas comentan que es debido a un parametro de configuración del Servidor SSH sobre el que se esta intentando hacer la la conección, el parametro que mencionan es el parametro PasswordAuthentication entonces esto me indica que es algo que tiene que ver con el Servidor SSH, dado que estoy usando linux debian, se que el servidor ssh se llama sshd, por tanto consulto la pagina del manual de sshd

man sshd

Ahí encuentro que la configuración del servicio se encuentra en
/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Al abrir el archivo y buscar el parametro encuentro
PasswordAuthentication no

y lo cambio por
PasswordAuthentication yes

Luego para probar que esto era el problema pues reincio el servicio de sshd

/etc/init.d/ssh stop
/etc/init.d/ssh start

Y pruebo nuevamente la coneccion desde jEdit, y EURAKA problema resuelto!!!! Y ahora si ya puedo editar mis archivos sobre SFTP, genial !!!!

Este parametro es para habilitar que sshd acepte el password pelon por el tunel (tunneled clear text passwords), me imagino que debe tener alguna implicacion negativa para la seguridad, pero espero que no sea mucho problema ya que lo utilizo solo desde mi LAN.
