[June 10, 2001] CNET: Visual SlickEdit 6.0 OK, but with the proprietary scripting language it still rather weak for the price ;-)
CNET says Visual SlickEdit is an editor to behold: "Nothing is perfect, but MicroEdge's Visual SlickEdit 6.0 comes darn close. It's a jack-of-all-trades editor that's also a master at most of what it does. Comprehensive, capable of recognizing a variety of document formats, customizable, and available for most popular operating environments, Visual SlickEdit 6.0 is a programmer's dream come true."
[Apr 18, 2001] jEdit - Open Source programmer's text editor jEdit is a programmer's text editor being developed by Slava Pestov and others. It is released under the GNU General Public License. jEdit requires Java 2 (or Java 1.1 with Swing 1.1). jEdit has an easy to use GUI-based interface that resembles that of many other Windows and MacOS text editors. jEdit is extremely customizable, and has an extensive feature set, that includes, among other things:
However, the feature list doesn't stop there; jEdit also supports plugins which extend the editor's functionality. Plugins currently exist for editing files on FTP servers, browsing Java source, code completion, compilation, one-click compiler error go to, and much more.
Once you download jEdit, be sure to install some plugins to make it even more useful to you. Plugins can be installed from within jEdit itself, using the plugin manager feature; it obtains information about available plugins from a server, and automatically downloads and installs any that you specify.
If you are interested in a high quality text control for use in your commercial program, you can download a copy of the jEdit 2.2.1 syntax package. It is a stand-alone version of the text control from an older version of jEdit. It supports features such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, rectangular editing, macro recording, and more. It is also released under BSD-like license which allows it to be linked into non-free programs.
