The best source code editor?

Hi,
I have just started up with Java and I am looking for a source code editor like emacs but for Windows.
Tried out NotePad++ but I think it just did not cut it.
Something a little more sophisticated, but not a large IDE...
Any thoughts?
/Martin

"like emacs" and "not a large IDE"? you're confusing me ...
On a more serious note: Isn't there a Windows version of Emacs? I know there is one for vim. I use EmEditor on windows, but I do use Eclipse mainly, so it's really just for very basic text-file edits.

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.
Thanks

<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...

Is there a way to restrict the cursor at the end of a line in the source code editor??

In the source code editor, the cursor will always follow where I click. But I wanna restrict it at the end of a line, just like other text editors do. Is there a option or sth? I can't put up with it any longer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello morphe!
The source editor in the LabWindows/CVI environment is constructed under the concept of virtual space.
At the moment, in the current version of LabWindows/CVI, this is the default behavior, which cannot be changed from the editor preferences dialogs.

View the html source code of an apex page

Hi everyone,
I search to how I can view the html source code of an apex page and to be able to modify it. That's why viewing the html source code from the browser when the application is running doesn't arrange me.
Has anyone an idea how it can this be possible?
Best regards,

Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.

Source Code Editor Framework for Flex

Dear Flex Forum members:
As a Flex newbie a quite important question in relation to the "Flex frameworks world" still remains to me, even after some google search sessions:
Does there exist any (preferably free) Flex framework or Flex component covering the functionality of a source code editor with syntax highlighting and syntax checking? -- Anything comparable to the Editor Framework within the Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform) or even to the Eclipse GEF (Graphical Editor Framework)?
The background is as follows (and as described in more detail in my first post to this forum):
An Online Shop Management Component shall offer the ShopManager to specify the products and offers in some declarative way and after a pre-defined grammar in place. The application frontend must be realized in Flex, and that's the reason why I'm now searching for:
some kind of textual or graphical editor framework for realizing the Shop Manager's editor which shall support him/her in creating shop specifications/configurations in a grammar-conforming way through syntax color highlighting and syntax checking (error feedback), and
this editor framework being intended for Flex (i.e., being a flex framework)
In some way, much of the editing/modeling functionality is identical to the one offered by Flex Builder (Eclipse application), but in my case this functionality must be exposed as web application (Flex component running on the browser).
Aps., would it also be possible to realize the Shop Management Component as AIR app, distribute it through a web page and run it locally on the Shop Managers client desktop???
Which products/frameworks do you know for accomplishing this task?
Thank you very much for any help.
Best regards
Alessandro

Since people complain about Flex's basic rich text editor (which is a basic building block of the kind of framework you're discussing), I doub't you'll find what you need out of the box anywhere...

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

How to read the Java source code (in Netbeans)

I use OS X10.5.5, NetBeans 6.1 and JSE 6 on a 64 bit mac.
When I downloaded NB6.1 it had JSE 5 as it's default (and only) java platform. I ran Software Update to get Java 6 from Apple, used the Java Prefrences utitlity to set JSE6 as default. In NB I added the JDK6 platform, registered the JDK6 javadocs and noticed that I also have the option of registering the Java source code.
I have three questions:
1) How do I make JDK6 the default in NetBeans. The JDK5 keeps being default after I did the steps above and I don't see anywhere to change that.
2) How do I read the Java 6 source code? I can see sun provides [source code| http://download.java.net/jdk6/] for their supported platforms. I dont see Apple doing the same for its JDK port. What would I need to do to get to read the java SE6 sources? or is it actually hiding somewhere in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home hierarchy?
3) Where does the JVM look for the binary code to run when I make a call to, say java.util.ArrayList or any other library. In my naivety I would have assumed it would be a .class file somewhere in the java Home folder, but I don't see anything like it.
thanks in advance,
chris

This is taken from the help included with netbeans. In response to question 1.
By default, the IDE uses the version of the Java SE platform (JDK) with which the IDE runs as the default Java platform
for compilation, execution, and debugging. You can view your IDE's JDK version by choosing Help > About and clicking the
Detail tab. The JDK version is listed in the Java field.
You can run the IDE with a different JDK version by starting the IDE with the --jdkhome jdk-home-dir switch on the command line
or in your IDE-HOME/etc/netbeans.conf file. For more information, see IDE Startup Parameters.
In the IDE, you can register multiple Java platforms and attach Javadoc and source code to each platform. For example, if you
want to work with the new features introduced in JDK 5.0, you would either run the IDE on JDK 5.0 or register JDK 5.0 as a
platform and attach the source code and Javadoc to the platform.
In , you can switch the target JDK in the Project Properties dialog box. In , you have to set the target JDK in the Ant script itself,
then specify the source/binary format in the Project Properties dialog box.
To register a new Java platform:
Choose Tools > Java Platforms from the main window.
Click New Platform and select the directory that contains the Java platform. Java platform directories are marked with a
in the file chooser.
Use the Sources and Javadoc tabs to attach Javadoc documentation and source code for debugging to the platform.
Click Close.
To set the default Java platform for a standard project:
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Project Properties dialog box, select the Libraries node in the left pane.
Choose the desired Java platform in the Java Platform combo box.
Switching the target JDK for a standard project does the following:
Offers the new target JDK's classes for code completion.
If available, displays the target JDK's source code and Javadoc documentation.
Uses the target JDK's executables (javac and java) to compile and execute your application.
Compiles your source code against the target JDK's libraries.
If you want to register additional Java platforms with the IDE, you can do so by clicking the Manage Platforms button.
Then click the Add Platform button and navigate to the desired platform.
To set the target Java platform for a free-form project:
In your Ant script, set the target JDK as desired in the javac, java, and javadoc tasks.
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Sources panel, set the level of JDK you want your application to be run on in the Source/Binary Format combo box.
When you access Javadoc or source code for JDK classes, the IDE searches the Java platforms registered in the
Java Platform Manager for a platform with a matching version number. If no matching platform is found, the IDE's default platform is used instead.

How to force CoreDump in the Kernel source code

Hi,
Anyone know, how to force coredump in the Kernel source code?. And also to collect all information related to CPU Registers, CPU IRAM, Cache Data and complete SDRAM content.

pull your RAM out....
Wouldn't recommend doing that really...... And why would you want to cause a kernel panic?
EDIT: Spelling sucked...

I don't know if this is a good idea, but it works.
1) Use a URL to obtain the document's location
2) Use a URLConnection to open a connection between your computer and the
document server
3) Connect to the server
4) Get the InputStream of said connection
5) Associate the Input Stream with a Buffered Input Stream
At this point you can use a loop to read lines from the BufferedInput Stream and append them to a TextArea or other suitable text component.

How to get the HTML Source code from the active browser ?

Hi All,
I need to get the HTML Source code from the active browser (IE). I tried with the below code, but I am not able to get the Source code all the time, with respect to the different applications (http or https) and the user authentication has to be changes in few applications (_I dont know or not able to given that in the below code_). More over there is also a dependence of the URL to get the HTML Source code.
Therefore what I feel is getting the HTML Source code from the given or active browser will be consistent than the URL. Since the Source code is available in the browser (IE) . Please help me with a sample code to achieve this . . . !
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument) kit.createDefaultDocument();
doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", Boolean.TRUE);
URL url = new URL(strURL);
Reader HTMLReader = new InputStreamReader(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
kit.read(HTMLReader, doc, 0);Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jothi Venkatachalam

The simple answer is: you don't.
Not only is it simply not possible, but the entire concept of "the active browser" doesn't exist.
You were on the right track with your code to retrieve the page directly from the server, but as you noticed that code will only work for regular http connections.
For https and other protocols you will need to use appropriate libraries for each protocol. Something like Apache Commons can help you with that. There are networking libraries in there for a lot of commonly used protocols.

Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
Sincerely in Christ,
Russell E. Willis

Solution: (Free Download Manager)
Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

Retrieve the hided source code

hi all.
I have hided the source code of a program by appending the program to a internal table and inserting '*@#@@[SAP]' to the internal table at in dex one its working well. My task is to retrieve the hided source code of the program in the same name itself...

Hi,
It is not possible to make any changes; you have to delete and recreate the program from scratch.
I hope you saved a backup copy of the source code, otherwise you could re-import the transport requests that contain your source code, a kind of versione restore.
Regards,
Andrea

Source Code Editor options

Is there a particular flavor of Source Code Editor that most people tend to lead towards? I currently use a Windows XP system if makes any difference.

I use TextPad on Windows. (But it runs OK using Wine on Linux as well.)
