NAME

   jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor written in Java

SYNOPSIS

   jedit [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual  page  briefly  documents jEdit's command-line parameters.
   Complete documentation can be found by invoking  the  Help->jEdit  Help
   menu item within jEdit or by invoking jedit -usage.

   jEdit   is  a  cross-platform  text  editor  written in Java. It has an
   extensive feature set that includes syntax highlighting,  auto  indent,
   folding,   word  wrap,  abbreviation  expansion,  multiple  clipboards,
   powerful search and replace and much more.

   Furthermore, jEdit is extremely  customizable,  and  extensible,  using
   either  macros  written in the BeanShell scripting language, or plugins
   written  in  Java.  With  plugins,  you  can  create  a  very  powerful
   development environment for HTML, XML, C/C++, Python, Perl, Ruby, Lisp,
   Scheme, and many others.

   jEdit Requires A Java Runtime Environment Version 1.7 or later.

   jEdit is released under the GNU General Public License,  which  can  be
   found in the online help.

GENERAL COMMAND LINE USAGE

   When  opening  files  from the command line, a line number or marker to
   position the caret on can be specified like so:

   $ jedit MyApplet.java +line:10

   $ jedit thesis.tex +marker:c

   Command-line switches begin with a "-". Some take a parameter.  A  file
   whose name begins with "-" can be opened like so:

   $ jedit -- -myfile

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS

   -log=level
          Set the minimum log level to an integer between 1 and 9. Default
          is 7.  Has no effect when connecting to another instance via the
          edit server.

   -usage Show  a brief command line usage message without starting jEdit.
          This message is also shown if an invalid switch was specified.

   -version
          Show the version number without starting jEdit.

   --     Specifies the end of command-line processing. Further parameters
          are treated as file names, even if they begin with a dash.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

   -plugins
          Enable  loading  of  plugins. This is the default. Has no effect
          when connecting to another instance via the edit server.

   -noplugins
          Disable loading of plugins. Has no  effect  when  connecting  to
          another instance via the edit server.

   -restore
          Restore previously open files on startup. This is the default.

   -norestore
          Do not restore previously open files on startup.

   -run=script
          Run  the  specified  BeanShell  script. There can only be one of
          these parameters on the command line.

   -settings=dir
          Store user-specific  settings  in  the  directory  named  "dir",
          instead  of  the  default  $HOME/.jedit.  The  directory will be
          created automatically if it does not exist. Has no  effect  when
          connecting to another instance via the edit server.

   -nosettings
          Start jEdit without loading user-specific settings.

   -nostartupscripts
          Disable startup  scripts.  Has  no  effect  when  connecting  to
          another instance via the edit server.

EDIT SERVER OPTIONS

   For information about the edit server, see the section "Starting jEdit"
   in the jEdit online help.

   -background
          Run jEdit in background  mode.  In  background  mode,  the  edit
          server will continue listening for client connections even after
          all views are closed. Has no effect when connecting  to  another
          instance via the edit server.

   -nobackground
          Disable background mode. This is the default. Has no effect when
          connecting to another instance via the edit server.

   -gui   Open an initial view. This is the default. Has  no  effect  when
          connecting to another instance via the edit server.

   -nogui Do  not open an initial view, and instead only open one when the
          first client connects. Can only be used in combination with  the
          -background switch.  You can use this switch to "pre-load" jEdit
          when you log in to your computer, for  example.  Has  no  effect
          when connecting to another instance via the edit server.

   -server
          Store the server port info in the file named "server" inside the
          settings directory. This is the default.

   -server=name
          Store the server port info in the file named "name". File  names
          for this parameter are relative to the settings directory.

   -noserver
          Do not attempt to connect to a running edit server, and does not
          start one either.

FILES

   ~/.jedit
          Each user who runs jEdit has a settings directory.  Its  content
          is  documented  in the "Customizing jEdit" section of the online
          help.
