Available Code Editor Fonts

Where does JDeveloper get its list of fonts available for the code editor (in the preferences) from? I've a fixed width font which I wish to use but it's not listed. Thanks.

Hi John,
JDeveloper gets the list of fonts to use from the JDK call:
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()
Which platform are you on? If not on Windows, I'm not sure how to setup the JDK so that it picks up the appropriate fonts. Let me know the platform (if Unix) and I can ask our resident Unix experts. If Windows, the JDK should be able to pick up any installed fonts.

JDeveloper11g - code editor font looks horrible

Why is it that my preferred coding font (Consolas - fixed-Width font) looks like sh.t in JDeveloper 11g? And is there any way to improve that?
I'm using Java6
-J.

Frank,
It would be nice if JDeveloper team can add support for additional nice looking fonts in the next release. The default fonts in Micorsoft Visual Studio in Vista looks really great. If the above is not possible, I would appreciate if you can add support for "courier" font (not courier new) since that is one of the fonts that I think will be used by a lot.
Thanks
Bala.

How to add a font for use by the code editor

Version 3.0.04 windows
found Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts
Did not see the font I would like to use in the list. The font is terminal. The font can be displayed in Control Panel -> fonts in windows.
In the help I found Edit Font Location but could not find the dialog box described in the help
Is there a procedure to add the font so SQL Dev can use it?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
Apparently editing Font Location in 3.0 applies only to ...
Tools | Preferences | Database | Export/View DDL Options | PDF Format

Ugly fonts in code editor

I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 with Win 7 or Win 8 and the font I choose (Consolas 12) does not display well in the code editor. The text in sample text looks good, but in the editor it's not the same. You can't distinguish the m in bold. See screenshot with anti-aliasing enabled. With and without the anti-aliasing, it's the same.
See https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6f0pma9z92nh4r/jdev.png

I choose Consolas because it's the one I used to use in Eclipse, and it's a good programming font. I also try to use Inconsolata or Source Code Pro. The first one is installed on my Windows but does not show up in the list, and the other one displays all characters as crossed square.
I also noticed that the sample text display looks good for all fonts but in the code editor, the rendering is different. Is it just me or my eye?
What monospaced (fixed-width) font do you advise?
Thanks

JDeveloper Code Editor doesn't do ClearType font anti-aliasing

I can't seem to get the Code Editor in JDeveloper (11.1.1.5.0) to do ClearType sub-pixel font anti-aliasing. Everything else in the IDE is doing proper sub-pixel anti-aliasing, it's only the Code Editor that's not doing it. It's doing "normal" pixel anti-aliasing which isn't nearly as good and still leaves the font looking quite jaggy.
I've got the following lines in my jdev.conf:
AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true
AddVMOption -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
And I've checked "Enable Text Anti-Aliasing" in Preferences->Code Editor->Display.
Is sub-pixel antialiasing in the JDeveloper code editor possible? If so, how? I'm running Windows 7 btw.

No problem Timo.
I don't think it's worth opening an SR for this. It looks like sub-pixel anti-aliasing isn't supported in the JDeveloper Code Editor, which is a shame, because that's the place where it's most needed.

BUG: JDeveloper code editor shows valid static import call as error

I've noticed what appears to be a bug in the JDeveloper code validator when dealing with static imports.
The following classes demonstrate the problem:
package test;
public class Parent {
public static void parentMethod() {
 System.out.println("called parentMethod.");
package test;
public class Child extends Parent {
public static void childMethod() {
 System.out.println("called childMethod.");
package test;
import static test.Child.*;
public class StaticInheritanceTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 Child.childMethod();
 Child.parentMethod();
 childMethod();
 parentMethod(); //<-- this line is highlighted as an error
}Notice how on lines 7 and 8 of StaticInheritanceTest, the code validator does recognise that both parentMethod and childMethod are static methods of the Child class.
Since 'Child' has been statically imported, then parentMethod should be available. Although parentMethod is presented as an 'auto-suggest' at line 11 in StaticInheritanceTest, when you try to call it the code editor shows the call as an error and the Ctrl-Click (to drill down into the method) doesn't work.
When I run the class, it compiles successfully and runs with the following output:
called childMethod.
called parentMethod.
called childMethod.
called parentMethod.This might seem like an obscure and theoretical problem, but I've hit this whilst using Mockito, which uses exactly this kind of inherited static method to provide matchers.

Hi,
thanks. Will file a bug. This seems to be a designtime only issue that does not present a show stopper.

Basic code editor tools missing? Extensions?

Is there really no batch search-and-replace, GREP replacement, or HTML element autocompletion? Assumed this 'new' tool could perform at least at a level the code editor DW CS3 (or earlier?) could... love the idea of the in-place related file editor but without these basic features I'm back to BBEdit for now.
Also: thought maybe adding extensions would expand functionality, but there dont seem to be any??? Is there a resource somewhere, as the Code forum returns 0 results as does Google.

Hi Aaron,
Well, there's a reason we call it a "preview release" rather than "1.0" :-) There are plenty of features that aren't thre or aren't fully polished yet... but actually many of the things you mentioned are available already:
"GREP replacement" -- I assume you mean search-replace using a regexp? If you open the Replace bar you can use regexps (note the label next to the input field describing the "/.../" syntax).
HTML element code hinting -- You should get code hints for tag names and attribute names. If you're not seeing that, can you share your HTML file so we can investigate?
There's also CSS code hinting in the latest Edge Code, fwiw. And there will be JS code hinting in the bext release.
Extensions are listed on the main open source project page, here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Brackets-Extensions. We're working on building a more polished extension browse/install experience, however.
The one thing on your list that's missing is search-replace across multiple files at once. You can track our progress on that or upvote the user story here, in our Trello backlog.
Hope that helps,
- Peter

Preferred Source Code Editor Bracket Styles

The CVI Team would like to get an idea what the most commonly used source code editor bracket styles are. These options are currently available through Options >> Editor Preferences >> Bracket Styles. Please post your comments in the Preferred Source Code Editor Bracket Styles NI Community document.

<quote>"I wouldn't personally use Eclipse as a high water mark"</quote>
LOL! Good point. Ironic that I said that, considering how much I disliked Eclipse when I first used it.
I've set the options on the indention tab - what I'm mostly looking for is a way to force alignment style of brackets. I'll look at one of the beautification add ons...

Code editor: need spaces instead of tab characters for indentation

I need to have spaces inserted into my code for indentation instead of tabs. "Use tab character" is unchecked under tools|preferences|code editor|code style|edit but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks, M C

But would this cause a tab to be translated as one space or would it still be a tab character? I think it will still be a tab character, which is a problem. I know MS Dev Studio can be set to translate tabs to spaces on the fly so if you hit a tab the cursor jumps 4 spaces and those spaces are spaces, not a tab. Thanks for the reply.

Code Editor Control

Hi,
Has anyone started to work on a JavaFX code editor? With syntax highlighting, autoformat / indentation and code complete features?
The WebView/CodeMirror approach is not working for me.
Do you guy's have any suggestion about a good java library with the basic data structures and functionality needed for this? Do you know if there is something better suited for this purpose to be extended, then TextArea , coming down the pipeline?
Cheers,
Nuwanda

I've been working toward this and have most of the working pieces in a Java/JavaFX app framework + IDE I am working on called Java Inventor. I have stand-alone rich text modeling classes, a UI independent text editor class, a Swing implementation of a Java/Rich Text Editor, a JavaFX implementation of a rich text viewer, and a UI independent Java Parser that provides syntax coloring and code completion.
Java Inventor will be a free educational product and hopefully "source available" but probably not open source. If you think there is some way I might be able to help you, feel free to send me a note direct: jeff at reportmill dot com.

Problem with text editor font

Hiii..
Actually I am facing some problems with the text editor font. Since I have some part of text was written in arabic (For labels), currently these parts are not readable and appears like this:
"Ø·Â§Ø·Â³Ø¸â¦ Ø·Â§Ø¸âØ·Â¥Ø·Â¯Ø·Â§Ø·Â±Ø·Â© Ø·Â§Ø¸âØ·Ú¾Ø·Â¯Ø·Â±Ø¸Ù¹Ø·Â¨Ø¸Ù¹Ø·Â©"
I have tryed to fix that using:
Tools --> Preferences --> Code Editor --> Font
However it still arise.
Please reply me the solution if you have some idea about this..

Apex 4 - Javascript Code Editor??

Hi,
On the Apex 4 new features page , under additional new features (link below), one of the new features says "New Javascript code editor for use in the SQL and migration workshops".
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/4.0_new_features.html
Can anybody tell me how you access this as I cant find it?
Thanks.

Hi,
I think the way this feature is worded is possibly misleading you.
Are you expecting a code editor in which you can edit your JavaScript code? Because if that is the case (which I think is a fair expectation given the current wording), then I'm afraid this is not what this feature is about. This actually relates to a new PL/SQL code editor available in these modules, which now includes syntax highlighting for your PL/SQL blocks. The word 'JavaScript' in the current description relates to the technology behind the editor, rather than the purpose of the editor, but that is misleading.
I think it should be reworded to, 'New richer PL/SQL code editor available in SQL and Migration Workshops, including syntax highlighting' or similar. I will contact the relevant person in the team and get this updated.
Apologies for the confusion.
Regards,
Anthony.

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'font color="red"'||re_chg||'/font',
0,'font color="blue"'||re_chg||'/font',
1,'font color="green"'||re_chg||'/font','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
Here is my query, I removed the < and > signs in the code so that you could see what I have done.

File not visible in Layout Editor, but okay in Source Code Editor & Preview

I just finished editing this page, and uploaded. It is visible on www, but when I go to edit it in Layout Editor, the cursor is blinking on a white background. Nothing appears to be there. However if I change to Source Code Editor or Preview, all my data is there. Here is the link to it - www.engraversnetwork.com/uls_lasers.html.

Wow! I figured it out. I was cleaning up my meta tags and left the ">" bracket off of the end of the line. Maybe that will help someone later on
