Short description:

JE5 is an PDAption of JE - a java-based, open source, free editor by Rene Grothman.
(screenshots)

Features include:

• syntax highlighting (currently for TeX, Java, HTML and Java)
• bracket matching
• Multiple document interface and automated backup
• Tools and macros; forinstance, you can compile and run Java programs from within JE5...
• ...and lots more

The PDA adaptions has involved changing sizes of dialogs and frames, using standard file dialogs, changing icons to make them readable on greyscale displays and changing (some) iconbar and other UI widgets to be used with pen-based input. And minor stuff all around…

Furthermore, an EPOC installation (for EPOC R5 machines, such as the Series 5mx) has been generated, including sis-file, UID and icon stuff.

I've constructed plugin's allowing for compiling and running java-programs on EPOC machines - based on the Hasiland JAVAC installation EPOC (see http://hasiland.com/javaonepoc ).

My java-development plugins for JE5, assumes you are having a development directory on either C or D called "javasrc". Furthermore, it assumes, that you have the "Hasiland" javac-installation, that allows java compilation on EPOC (see http://hasiland.com/javaonepoc ) . Installation of plugins is as follows; Find the Optiones/Edit plugins menu. Press "new", and enter name and classname of each plugin (settings for "Call Main" plugin shown below). The Java-compile plugin is named "rene.Editor.plugins.JavaCompile".

JE5 will start up automatically setting a classpath to include "?:\javasrc". Thus you can compile and run Javaprograms, directly from JE5. I'm working on a plugin that will allow changing the classpath - but I can get it to work (source for this plugin, rene.Editor.plugins.SetClasspath, is included in JE5 source-distribution... any help appreciated..)

• classpath plugin doesn't seem to work (use "javasrc"-directory workaround)
• the "tools"-menu doesn't work
• numerous keyboard shortcuts doesn't work correctly...
• macros doesn't seem to work
• and other small quirks... (send in your observations...)

Beside the standard disclaimer and the open-source license, here are some additional points to be aware of:

• The JE5 Editor is Java-based. That means, that you have to have a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed. Currently, I have tested this only on Windows 95 and the Psion 5mx.
• Java and JE5 is memory intensive. If you are running on an EPOC device, make sure, you have enough memory (in your main memory or "C-drive"). I'd guess at least 5 or 6Mb should be available...
• Quite some bugs exists in the editor. If you document a bug (so its reproducible) - send it to me, and i'll include it in the buglist - and I might even try to fix it. If you know Java - try to download the source and fix it yourself - and then send the result to me....

Remember this is a project under construction. Moreover, it deals with the most valuable things you have, your own files. You did put much effort into your files probably, so keep them safely. You should backup regularly, using a different storage medium.
