Purpose
The goal of the jEdit script is to simplify execution of the binaries and aid in the testing of new installations.
Execution
The Firefox launcher script is:
- jedit.sh
- Launches jEdit. AFS location: /mit/jedit/arch/share/bin/jedit.sh
The script automatically creates the execution environment. This includes setting the paths to needed libraries and plugins. Necessary lockers are attached.
If jEdit is already running, a new window will be opened.
Testing & Versions
Binary Directories
The scripts require a particular directory structure in order to find the binaries to run. Specifically, binary directories must be placed under: /mit/jedit/arch/java/versions/ (which may be a symlink to another location). Versions may be specified by passing either of the following options as the first argument to the script. If no argument is specified the current version (pointed to by the current symlink) is run.
- --listver
- Lists the versions of jEdit that are availible for your particular hardware platform. This lists everything in the /mit/jedit/arch/java/versions/ directory which is not prefixed by a '.'
- --runver <version>
- Runs the specified version of jEdit. If the specified version is invalid, the script exits with an error.
