The following should work to get gedit to use the j.lang on Ubuntu: Copy the file from '~addons/gui/gtk/config/j.lang' to /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/j.lang When you next open gedit, "J" should be available from the menu View|Highlight mode|Sources|J
If you want to use the same styles as in the J editor then in gedit use Edit|Preferences, choose the Font & Colors Tab and click the Add... button. Now point to '~addons/gui/gtk/config/edit.xml' and click the Add Scheme button. Note the latest copy of the j.lang file can be downloaded from the Gnome Bugzilla. It should be available in gui/gtk addon for J soon. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642272 On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 8:35 AM, Ric Sherlock <[email protected]> wrote: > Charles is correct that the the J GtkIde and gedit both use > gtksourceview and therefore the J lang file that ships with J should > work fine.
