Does anyone use this on Windows?  I have tried a few times to use jEdit
on Windows using Sun's VM and had screen refresh problems.  I know it's
a bit offtopic, but maybe someone knows the quick answer.

I, too, use jEdit for all my XML/XSL needs (except schema building,
for which XMLSpy is fantastic) and love it. Syntax highlighting, code
colouring, auto-completion, you name it, jEdit has it. For free.

It may have lots of configurable settings, but if you only change
what makes sense to you and accept the default values for the rest,
you're very unlikely to go wrong.

Cheers,

Erik

post (I've checked Sourceforge, list archives, usenet...).

I use jEdit with the XML and XSLT plug-ins. jEdit is a text editor
written in Java and released under the GPL. The XSLT plug-in
includes a
an
XPath tool for ad-hoc queries and provices a GUI to Xalan
transforms.
The
online help is good (even for most plug-ins) and you can see the
source
for that as well (it is in DocBook XML).

It is very configurable, maybe too much so for casual users. I've
also
used TreeBeard and Cooktop at different times.
