I've done some work on jedit clojure too, if you're interested I'll send what i have. I have quite a lot working in fact but it's a bit flaky - repl, stolen method tree from enclojure, run scripts, syntax highlighting generator.
I'm actually using emacs now, so i'm not sure I'll get back to it, if it's any use please use what's there. bd On Oct 17, 3:59 am, "Iwan van der Kleijn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am working on a Clojure plugin for jEdit.
