Variable Highlighter Extension JDev 10.1.3

Hello all,
I could not locate a Variable Highlighter extension which would work in JDev 10.1.3 so I decided to go ahead and make the necessary adjustments to the Original work of Simeon Zverinski (http://varhigh.sourceforge.net/).
The version I have now works under JDeveloper 10.1.3 without problems. Since I know there have been people requesting this extension be updated, I am willing to offer my work back to the community.
I am not familiar with the Copyright that Mr. Zverinski has over this code, and I do not want to burn in IP hell so I am now trying to contact him to see if my changes can be made public and available to you.

I have received the following from the original Author of Variable Highlighter:
Hello Gonzalo,
I apologize for the delay and thank you for wishing to share your changes with the community.
The small problem is I'm not working anymore with JDeveloper or JBuilder so it's difficult for me to test your new version. If you don't mind I would give you access to the sourceforge project as a developer so you could commit changes to CVS and/or potentially maintain other versions.
Please let me know if you are interested to update sourceforge and feel free to publish your changes to any community.
Kind regards,
Simeon
P.S. I believe Oracle and Borland guys should sooner or later implement such a feature by themself as it's done by the Eclipse team. It's strange that after so many years of varhigh existence they still rely on us :)
I do not have time to take over the project in sourceforge but if someone takes over I will send her/him my changes so that the new version can be published.
My changes have also been sent to Shay, hopefully Oracle will recognize the public interest in this extension and integrate it to JDeveloper.
Thank you again for your interest.

  • JDev 10g and Variable Highlighter

    In the production version of JDev 10g, Variable Highlighter extension(http://home.t-online.de/home/simeon.zverinski/variablehighlighter/index.html), which is so much useful, does not work properly. Quick navigation between variable occurrences functionality is lost. I would appreciate if anybody could suggest me how to fix this.

    Hi,
    This version works with keystrokes:
    http://www.dubh.org/jdevaddins/varhigh-jdev-v1.2.4.jar
    You need to delete the old version from lib/ext). It's not configured to use shortcuts by default, you need to go to Tools->Preferences->Accelerators. In the Code Editor category, look for these actions and assign them whatever accelerators you want:
    Move to Declaration
    Move to Next Vriable Occurrence
    Move to Original Vriable Occurrence
    Move to Previous Vriable Occurrence
    Rename Variable
    Let me know if there are any problems...
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • How to enable variable highlighter on Vista (JDeveloper 10.1.3.3)

    I have been working with JDeveloper for a while I have tried the 10.1.3.3 & the new preview 2 on my Windows Vista laptop, but I can't get the open source update Varible highlighter and code colorizer to work.
    I have tried everything with the 10.1.3.3, but nothing is working, so I wondered if it's a Vista issue? If anybody know any solution for my problem I would be greatful because I really want that to work in my program. I tried installing the new preview version, but it didnt seem any better. That's why I am writing and if you got any good advices for a user using JDeveloper on Vista I would be greatful.

    User,
    I have the variable highlighter extension installed (10.1.3.3), and it's working just fine. What JDK are you using with JDeveloper (the one that comes with the windows download, or another one)? I am using 1.5.0_11. Just on the off-chance, do you have JDeveloper installed in a directory with spaces in the name? JDev sometimes has a problem when you do this.
    A quick search on the forum finds a few other posts. [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1886267]This one has some of my experiences.
    Hope this helps.

  • Variable highlighter

    Has anyone seen the "automatic" variable highlighter (like the extension in jdev 10g)?

    It's built into the product now under the search menu.

  • Entering MultiByte characters using OA Extension JDev forms

    Hello
    We have certain custom OA extension JDev forms running on Oracle Applications 11.5.10/ 10g database. Recently we converted our db to be utf8 compliant. While I can querry chineses characters through the custom JDev forms, when I try to enter chinese characters using the custom forms, it stores it as Junk. In the preference I did set the Client Character Encoding to UTF-8, but that did not help. Any clues as to how to get this working would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    PHK

    When you say it stores junk, you see the junk characters from back end or on the OA page on further retrieval of the same value?

  • How to use environment variables in extension.xml

    Is it possible to use environment variable when specify classpath in extension.xml that is part of one JDev extension?

    Hi Matias,
    Sure, you can use substitute-variables command for this purpose.
    See the example below:
    concat [substitute-variables "${system_property:user.home}" | str] "/.m2/repository"]
    Kind regards,

  • Additional Extensions JDev 10.1.2

    It seems that the whole mechanism of reading in IDE extensions has changed between 9.0.5.2 and 10.1.2.
    JUnit extension is provided for JDev 10.1.2 although currently using a link which is slightly incorrect.
    Some other extensions that are an absolute necessity are the following:
    1. PDK
    2. Jalopy
    Please provide status feedback on these, especially on the PDK.
    Thanks

    I also experienced the problem with JDev 10.1.2 and Jalopy-JDevelopre 1.1.4 on startup seeing in the log:
    Error: <Line 3, Column 21>: XML-24534: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 11, Column 14>: XML-24521: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'I extracted the meta-inf directory inside the 10.1.2 junit_addin.jar and looked at the jdev-ext.xml file. It had an initial element that looked like this:
    <extensions xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1012/extensions">I compared this with the jdev-ext.xml file that the Jalopy-JDeveloper 1.1.4 jar file has in its META-INF/jdev-ext.xml file, which instead looked like this:
    <extensions>without the default namespace.
    To avoid the error, I did the following to update the jdeveloper extension manifest file of the 1.1.4 Jalopy extension to match what I found in the 10.1.2 version of the JUnit extension. This seems to make it work for me.
    1. Start with jalopy-jdeveloper-1.1.4.zip
    2. Extract it into a C:\temp\jalopy directory
    3. cd C:\temp\jalopy\lib
    4. jar xvf jalopy-jdeveloper-1.1.4.jar META-INF
    5. vi META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
    6. Change the first line from just <extensions> to be <extensions xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1012/extensions"> instead, and save
    7. jar uvf jalopy-jdeveloper-1.1.4.jar META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
    to update the copy of META-INF/jdev-ext.xml in the jalopy-jdeveloper-1.1.4.jar jar file.
    8. Copy all the *.jar files from C:\temp\jalopy\lib to <JDEVELOPER_10_1_2_HOME>\jdev\lib\ext

  • Multi-row menu item with highlight effect (JDEV - 100202.0230.5526)

    I am using the PS2 JDEV ((JDEV - 100202.0230.5526). Is it possible to have a multi row display for a menu item (af:commandMenuItem) while preserving the highlight/roll over selection effect of a typical menu item in af:menu. I would like to display an image (which may not be possible to display as an icon attribute), a description and another field (such as count) below the description.
    The menu will then be a list of such items. I would like to then have user select this as a menu item, when the user scrolls to any such item, keeping the rollover/highlight behavior.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for the response. Is there an example/code snippet for this (using commandLink). Or any other mechanism possible to get similar behavior (if not using commandMenuItem) for highlight in case of multiple components (as a single row/item) ?
    Thanks again.

  • Special featured items highlighted extension

    the recordset on this page http://www.canchair.com/new_web_product_main.asp?product=17 is currently output on the page in a horizontal repeat region manner using Tom-muck's repeat region 2 extension. Wondering if there is an extension that would help achieve the results found on the following webpage to highlight specially marked items as "on sale" or "clearance" etc.https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/default/cPath/CAT2_CAT26
    thanks!

    I'm sure there are pre-made solutions available, but it may be a good idea to learn the code yourself. Based on what you already have, you could write a short block of code to achieve the result you are looking for.
    Here is a short tutorial to get you started:

  • Highlight All Matching Variables (mark occurrences)

    I just downloaded the latest CFB to try out. I have had the ability to have all matching variables highlighted in Eclipse for as long as I can remember. It works in CFEclipse, but I cannot figure out how to double click on text and have all matching text found.
    It seems that "mark occurances" in the main prefs->general->editor->annotations does nothing and there are no annotations available in CFBuilder standalone. In the toolbar, the go to next occurance drop down doesn't work either. Am I missing something or do I scrap this IDE?

    You can do `short <varname>` and have that occurence of <varname> be highlighted but you can't have all occurences of <varname> be highlighted. Vim syntax only uses simple pattern matching so it can't determine dynamically what the pattern is after you declare it. Your next best option might be to set hlsearch and use the # and * and related operators.

  • Jalopy error on JDev 10.1.2

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the new JDev 10.1.2 with Japoly Plugin (jalopy-jdeveloper-1.1.4.zip). This Japoly plugin version works with the previous JDev prod version (JDev 9.0.5).
    Here is the error message after I open JDev 10.1.2:

  • How to run JDev's generated build.xml file(BPEL project) from command win.?

    hi all
    When I execute build.xml file of simple BPEL project from JDev it runs properly. But when I try to execute it from normal command window It gives me an following error.
    ...........droping jar file xyz.jar from path as i doesn't exists.
    While all jar files are exist there.But Ant drops it from Classpath variable.
    So JDev sets some environment before executing such build.xml file.Like {oracle.home} variable u need to set while runnig build.xml from command window.
    Any suggestions...???

  • JDev 10.1.2 : Check for Updates

    hi
    In "Getting Started With Unit-testing" (*1) dated December 2004, on page 7 I read this:
    "When you have an account on OTN, you can plug JUnit easily into JDeveloper from the menu: Help -> Check for Updates -> check the JUnit Extension -> next. It will automatically download the JUnit plug-in files to your [JDeveloper home]\jdev\lib\ext directory (in Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.2 and previous versions)."
    If I tried it, I got this: "No updates are available."
    Did I do something wrong or are there no updates available?
    thanks

    - "JDev 10.1.2 : JUnit extension"
    JDev 10.1.2 : JUnit extension

    In 10.1.2 and earlier, check for updates only tracks extensions installed by check for updates. If you install extensions manually, it doesn't know anything about them (in case you're interested, the technical reason for this is that prior to 10.1.3, we did not store sufficient version information and a unique identifier for each extension in the extension manifest, so it was impossible to identify an extension already installed in the product in lib/ext as matching an extension available on the update center.
    If you do install an already installed extension via Check for Updates, it's harmless (it will just copy the extension jar back over itself and CfU will "realize" you have it installed).

  • Does JDev support the function of "mark occurrence" like eclipse

    The function of "mark occurrence" is to highlight every occurrence of the word you selected in the same file.
    If it does, will anyone kindly show how to do it in the preference.
    Many thx and best regards.
    wf

    Two things to try out:
    Ctrl+Alt+H or from the menu Search->Highlight
    I would also recommend you download the "Varaiable Highlighter Extension" for JDeveloper through help->check for updates.

    JDeveloper starts OK, but the extensions don't work properly. JUnit appears in the New... menu, but doesn't display any sub-items. Jalopy (the newest one) appears in the preferences page, but causes the code editor context menu not to display.
    I've run jdev.exe but there are no additional messages in the console window.

    Hi Jim,
    Are you dropping 9.0.5 extensions into 10.1.3? You need to get 10.1.3 compatible extensions. Also, there are now two separate locations for extensions:
    ${jdev.home}/jdev/lib/ext : for "backward compatible" jdeveloper extensions (extensions from 9.0.5 and prior will probably work if dropped here, but may be affected by API changes... usually those extensions will need to be recompiled against the 10.1.3 extension API)
    ${jdev.home}/jdev/extensions : for new JSR-198 compliant extensions.
    For JUnit, it's best to either install using Help->Check for Updates..., or download the 10.1.3 zip files manually and extract them into ${jdev.home}/jdev/extensions. The bc4j junit extension will not work in the 10.1.3 preview, because there is no ADF.
    Thanks,
    Brian
