jedit-bundle.zip : JEdit 5.5 with some VMS relevant stuff
                   (contains jedit5.5.0install.jar, jars.zip and modes.zip)

Installation instructions
=========================

System requirements:
* Java 8 (so Itanium and x86-64 only)
* ODS-5 disk
* X (VMS application displays on some X display most likely a PC)

Install:
$ unzip jedit-bundle.zip
$ java -Djava.awt.headless=false -jar jedit5.5.0install.jar

For the installation screens just chose default for everything.

Run:

$ java -Djava.awt.headless=false -jar /somedisk/somedir/jedit/5.5.0/jedit.jar

or just:

$ jedit

if login.com has:

$ jedit == "''java' -Djava.awt.headless=false -jar /somedisk/somedir/jedit/5.5.0/jedit.jar"

Config changes to work with VMS file versions:

Utilities - Global Options - Saving & Backup
    Two-stage save - disable
    Max number of backups - 0

Other config changes that I like (but you may not like):

Utilities - Global Options - General
    Restore previos open files - disable
    Restore split - disable

Utilities - Global Options - Editing
    Soft tabs - enable
    
To get a relevant set of plugins working:

$ set def somedisk:[somedir.jedit.5^.5^.0.jars]
$ unzip [wherever.you.unzipped.the.bundle]jars.zip

BufferTabs plugin need a few config changes to enable:

Utilities - Global Options - View
    Show buffer switcher - disable

Plugins - Plugin Options - BufferTabs
    Enable BufferTabs by default - enable
    Location of BufferTabs - top

To add language support (only syntax coloring) to a few VMS languages
(DCL, VMS Pascal and VMS Basic) do:

$ set def somedisk:[somedir.jedit.5^.5^.0.modes]
$ unzip [wherever.you.unzipped.the.bundle]modes.zip
