NAME


jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor written in Java

SYNOPSIS


jedit [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION


This manual page briefly documents jEdit's command-line parameters. Complete
documentation can be found by invoking the Help->jEdit Help menu item within jEdit or by
invoking jedit -usage.

jEdit is a cross-platform text editor written in Java. It has an extensive feature set
that includes syntax highlighting, auto indent, folding, word wrap, abbreviation
expansion, multiple clipboards, powerful search and replace and much more.

Furthermore, jEdit is extremely customizable, and extensible, using either macros written
in the BeanShell scripting language, or plugins written in Java. With plugins, you can
create a very powerful development environment for HTML, XML, C/C++, Python, Perl, Ruby,
Lisp, Scheme, and many others.

jEdit Requires A Java Runtime Environment Version 1.7 or later.

jEdit is released under the GNU General Public License, which can be found in the online
help.

GENERAL COMMAND LINE USAGE


When opening files from the command line, a line number or marker to position the caret on
can be specified like so:

$ jedit MyApplet.java +line:10

$ jedit thesis.tex +marker:c

Command-line switches begin with a "-". Some take a parameter. A file whose name begins
with "-" can be opened like so:

$ jedit -- -myfile

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS


-log=level
Set the minimum log level to an integer between 1 and 9. Default is 7. Has no
effect when connecting to another instance via the edit server.

-usage Show a brief command line usage message without starting jEdit. This message is
also shown if an invalid switch was specified.

-version

-- Specifies the end of command-line processing. Further parameters are treated as
file names, even if they begin with a dash.

the edit server.
