Hi Bryan, jEdit SVGPlugin will be a helpful addition to a tool kit.
For those using the Opensource Eclipse IDE (http://www.eclipse.org/) here is another useful tool set: 1. Basic Eclipse IDE http://www.eclipse.org/ 2. the blueskytime jar plugin - for web applications viewable in the included standalone Tomcat - uses default browser with its plugin Viewer ASV3.01,ASV6, Corel ... 3. the jxmleditor jar plugins - for a nice basic xml editor with a tree view and a source view 4. the quantum plugin - for a simple JDBC connection manager and SQL Table viewer works with PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, Informix etc. 5. One of the JavaScript editor plugins - note the ones I have found do not have debugging capability although the outline view is helpful for finding functions in a large js file. The base Java IDE is similar to other IDEs but add the xml editor and JDBC connections along with a Web application resource tool and you have a complete development capability in a single IDE. For example you can edit a servlet in a web application, check its SQL statement in the SQL perspective against the real database, jump back to an svg file and open it in the xml editor to check validity, or open in a text editor make changes and save; then rebuild the servlet and view the result in the standalone Tomcat and test the servlet functionality all in the same IDE. There is also a JavaScript editor plugin with key word highlighting etc. to help with the JavaScript/Ecmascript side of development, but it isn't too useful. A Javascript debugger would be nice. I believe Eclipse is working on a scripting project that would provide integrated support for developing and debugging of scripts. Eclipse can also be a client to a CVS server. I will have to try the jEdit SVGPlugin. It may be more useful than the jxmleditor plugin for Eclipse. The jxmleditor is very basic. It checks for well-formed and valid syntax, has a tree view and a source view with syntax highlighting but no search/replace capabilities? It also rejects the whole file if there is a well-formed error instead of highlighting the error location for correction. There may be better xml editor plugins somewhere in the Eclipse world, I only recently discovered Eclipse and think its a very worthwhile tool for svg projects. Perhaps the jEdit/SVGPlugin could be added to the Eclipse editor choices if someone knew how to set up the correct xml config files. rkgeorge -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 1:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SVGPlugin 0.5 for jEdit released I have released version 0.5 of the SVGPlugin for jEdit to the jEdit community site: http://community.jedit.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=DownloadsPlus&file=in dex&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=385&ttitle=SVGPlugin The SVGPlugin uses Apache Batik to render SVG from a jEdit buffer or file and also transcode SVG into JPEG or PNG.
