Perhaps you are ;) You're right though, its not all that difficult to
configure but I have found that there are those who want an "out of the
box" solution that requires nothing more than a standard installation
process to get up and running. jEdit is not this kind of tool. As you
know jEdit has a very powerful plug-in manager that is REALLY easy to
use and includes a vast array of editor extensions and applications that
hook into the jEdit UI that basically cover the entire gamut of
technologies from Ant to XML and EVERYWHERE in between. By default the
only extensions/plug-ins (I believe) that are installed by default are a
notepad style notetaker and... hmmm... maybe thats it. But in about 10
minutes of download and configuration time you can be set up exactly the
way you want.
Worthy of mention (see http://www.mdavidpeterson.com for a link to some
pics from the conference and the Saxon.NET project site --
http://www.x2x2x.org/saxon.net/ -- for links to the slides from Kurt and
myself regarding XSLT 2.0 and Saxon.NET -- as well as some of the other
XSLT 2.0 projects including Olegs project -- in general -- probably
worth doing a seperate email exposing the exisitence of these docs.) at
the XMLDevCon (http://www.sellsbrothers.com/conference) 2 weeks ago I
sat down with Chris Anderson (Director in charge of the XAML project at
MS) and discussed all sorts of different things -- but one in particular
worth mentioning is that MS has finally realized the importance of
making it REALLY easy to write common snippets of code and include this
ability "inline" while typing. Obviously "snippets" are not a new
concept but jEdits "Abbreviations" engine has made the process so clean
and simple (type "cwto" followed by the space bar (must explicity turn
on the "space bar" expansion feature) and get a complete block of
choose/when/@test/otherwise with the cursor sitting between the quotes
of the test attribute.) I forget what they are terming the capability
(its not templates but a word similar to this) but it should be in
available to play with in the next beta of Whidbey.
For what is worth if youre looking for a fantastic editor and you are
willing to spend the extra 10 minutes to configure it, download jEdit
(http://www.jEdit.org). Its worth the time and effort for sure!
Best regards!

Does someone know a good AND free xml/xsl editor? It should have at
least xsl code-assist, automatic xsl transformation, code highlight
and means to call up any browser from within the program itself.
I am personally a HUGE fan of jEdit... coupled with Oxygen or Sonic
Studio for debugging. jEdit does require a bit of configuration to get
it to where you want and I wouldn't recommend it to a novice developer
but for an experienced developer its tough to beat. Theres a huge
community supporting jEdit with both general support as well as plugin
development. You can learn all about it at http://www.jedit.org
Best of luck!

I tried to install some eclipse plugins, but they're all for the
2.x version, and they didn't work with the 3.x eclipse version.
Currently, I'm using Butterfy XML editor, but it has a bug with
firefox, so it can't call it.
thanks
