jEdit is a text editor for programmers available under the GNU General Public License. jEdit is written in Java and runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS, and Windows. There are dozens of plug-ins for numerous application areas. Syntax highlighting is natively supported for over 130 file formats (support for additional formats can be added manually using XML files). jEdit supports UTF-8 and many other encodings. jEdit is highly customizable and can be extended with macros written in BeanShell, Jython, JavaScript and some other scripting languages. The founding author of jEdit was Slava Pestov, who has currently left the development to the community. The editor has been in development since 1998.  [edit]  Less
