Using windows 2000:
Two issues here (probably related?)
Jedit starts OK, but "jelaunch.log" in the JEDIT program
directory gives errors:
Debug : [launcher] searching for server file
C:\Documents and Settings\mclark\.jedit\server
Debug : [launcher] Server file not opened
Debug : [launcher] System error message: The
system cannot find the file specified.
My JEDIT shell32 context menus are also broken
(spawns JEDIT but does not open the file requested)
Possible cause? ! :
have moved my desktop location to "d:\storage\desktop"
instead of the default "c:\documents and
settings\username\desktop"
Jedit has placed all my downloaded plugins into
d:\storage\desktop\.jedit\jars (leading my to believe that
jedit finds its home there), yet LAUNCHER is looking
for "server" file in "c:\documents and
settings\mclark\.jedit" which is not living there.
What to do? Perhaps it's just a configuration issue.
Seems like it should automatically detect this
environment though.

Logged In: YES user_id=117073 How does the OS know the desktop location? A workaround for your problem would be to set the -settings command line variable to the location of the settings folder: -settings=D:\storage\desktop\.jedit |

Logged In: YES user_id=419287 Java determines the user.home property by taking the parent directory of the desktop. (see src\j2se\src\win32 \native\java\lang\java_props_md.c) As far as I'm aware this is not documented anywhere. jEditLauncher should use the same technique to determine the home directory, so this is a bug. |

Logged In: YES user_id=419287 The only workaround that works for me is to add the following parameter to the Command line options for Java Application Loader: -Duser.home="C:\Documents and Settings\mjericho" |
