Description:

JEdit, a mature and well-designed programmer's text editor, offers most of the features you need and expect, particularly if you leverage plug-ins. Features include:

• Built-in and extensible plug-in architecture with dozens of macros and plug-ins available.
• Auto indent and syntax highlighting for more than 130 languages.
• Support for a large number of character encodings, including UTF8 and Unicode.
• Folding for selectively hiding regions of text.

Usage Notes:

Plug-ins can be dowloaded and installed using the Plugin Manager. Access the Plugin Manager by clicking the Plugins menu. 

Because jEdit is written in Java, you can run it on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS AND Windows.
