Greetings,

I'm wondering if someone is using jEdit for D development - if yes, it would be nice to get an answer to my question ...

concerning D:
how are you compiling ... commandline, macro, plugin for D compilation ?

concerning jEdit (possible) itself:
i have problems with the "showing" of fonts in jEdit. An example could explain
better what I'm meaning:
if I use crimson editor (for windows only :( ) the denounced font is "courier
new 10" and anybody could read this pretty well. When I'm trying to use the same
font in jEdit, the text is sooo small, nobody could read it - enlarging the font
still shows differences (hard to read).
I'm knowing windows is doing some motifaction to the original font while showing
it on the screen - these motification seems not to happen in jEdit - maybe
because jEdit using the java/SWING ??

Why I'm still trying to use jEdit - it's very easy to expand his functionality like including "Dlint" from Ben, because you can directly access jEdit's text buffer.


Anybody here to give some hint's or solutions - any comment is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one question: are you referring to a lint for D or something else?

yes ... Ben has started a dlint projekt: "http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/dlint"

and (mybe) no ... not for use in jEdit by now (I think ??!!)

Dlint (the standalone version) is designed to be used by tools to process a file and return output. For example the d-mode for emacs on my setup runs dlint on load/save. Since saving/loading the file in emacs is about the same time as running dlint on it I haven't been able to notice any performance problem. Doing it on every newline might be different (plus there's the issue of parsing partial files).

Dlint can be modified to run in-process but that would require maintenance when new versions of dlint and dmd appear. Personally I'd recommend the standalone version.
