The jEdit Ruby Editor Plugin release 0.7.6 is available for download at: [Ruby Editor Plugin for jEdit](http://www.jedit.org/ruby/) This release gives you: - Introduce variable refactoring. - Copy, cut, paste actions that operate on whole line when no text is selected. - Smarter autocompletion of brackets and quotes; won’t add extra closing bracket/quote when you type closing char and there is already a closing char present. - Progressive selection now handling method selection better. Other features include: - Syntax highlighting - Syntax error checking - Edit history navigation - Auto indent and insert end - Integrated RDoc viewer - Quote and bracket completion - Structure browser - Type-based code completion - Progressive selection - File structure navigation popup - Scope highlighting Features from core jEdit or other plugins include: - Code folding - Code markers - Split panes - Autocompletion of HTML/XML elements via XML plugin - XPath expression evaluator via XSLT plugin - Visual diffs via JDiff plugin - Project managment via Project Viewer plugin Feedback is welcome. cheers, Rob ---

The problem seems to be, that the server sends these jar-files with content-type text/plain, which could cause Firefox (what do you use?) to not treat it as binary files. Downloading with InternetExplorer could work (its autodetection of content-type identified the file as being .zip), but I never tested it. Used wget to download and it works. > I downloaded it again with the same result. > > The file also fails to open with java when I right click in Explorer and > select “open with… java”.

Ouch, slow download, 0.3KB/sec! Are there any mirrors? I decided to download this by ‘coralizing’ the URLs so these JARs should become cached in the Coral CDN. ``` http://www.coralcdn.org/ ``` So, hopefully if people want to download the necessary JARs it should be fast after these JARs become fully cached. These are the ‘coralized’ URLs for the JEdit RubyPlugin required JARs [http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/RubyPlugin.jar](http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/RubyPlugin.jar) [http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/jruby.jar](http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/jruby.jar) [http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/retroweaver.jar](http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/retroweaver.jar) - Mark ---
