About this program

JPlain is made for those who are coding JSP and / or Java. And this program is a Freeware. It means that you do not need to pay for it, not register neither tell me you are using this program... (donations are very welcome).

Currently JPlain uses batch file to compile Java Source to Class file and Compiler Message will not be comming up. Because I actually do not know how to get compiler message from Javac. So it is very appreciated, if you can help (tell) me how to do it, I mean that you tell me exactly how to do it. Delphi Code or C++ Code (I hope you are using C++ Builder) is very appreciated.
This program will always be a FREEWARE, I will not require for user to pay for this program, so please help me. I can put your name (those who help me) on About box and / or on this file, if you wish.

Usage

You are one of the web programmer. So I do not write about "what it does - File New? - File Open?"
You see that this program has pop up tags help function like other program I made.

Tips and Tricks

New document: When you make a new document, JPlain uses JSP Syntax Highlight. If you would like to make a Java Source or Batch File, change it as well.
To change Syntax Highlight, go to the menu -> Options -> Syntax Highlight and choose one of them.
Open document: You can open a document with JPlain like the other program.
You can use drag and drop to open a file, too. It could be faster than above, if you already have an open folder which contain JSP file (and / or Java Source file).
Syntax Highlight will be assigned automatically, but you can change it manually, too.
To change Syntax Highlight, go to the menu - > Options -> Syntax Highlight and choose one of them.
JPlain is not a HEX editor, so that do not try to open a file like EXE, DLL, OCX or IMAGE file. You cannot see them anyway.
Save (and / or Save As) document: If you do NOT write a file extension (example: .jsp), JPlain uses .jsp. If you save a Java document or Batch document, do not forget to change a combo box to Java Files (*.java) or Batch Files (*.bat) and write a filename and its extension, otherwise JPlain will save your document as a JSP file.
Highlight URLs: When you hit this menu item, JPlain highlights urls on currently active document, if the document contains urls.
If you click on the highlighted URL, your system web browser will launch.
Syntax Color Highlight: Keywords are assigned to Resword - Change this as you wish
Keywords for Servlet are assigned to Script Resword
In Java Syntax, like "out, print, println ..." are assigned to Script Comment
How "Convert println" works?: You have some HTML code and would like to convert to the following: out.println("<html code>");
To use this commando, JPlain's syntax highlight must be Java and you must select a text, otherwise JPlain ignore this commando.
You can use this command a single line or multiple line.
How to make template?: You must code first.
When you have done it with your document, choose from Menu -> File -> Save As Template. Save dialog will appear. Name it and save your file as template inside JPlain's program folder, named "Templates".
Tips and Tricks: Batch File
Save batch file into a folder "Command". You can locate it in JPlain's program folder.
When you choose a menu item Tools -> Run Batch Command, a dialog will appear and you see all batch files listed there. To run a batch file, select one of them and hit a button "OK". You are also able to browse a batch file on your hard drive, but I you save them inside the same folder which has something with Java (and / or JSP) to do, it is practical; to do so, I think.
Reserved filenames
JPlain uses "build.bat" to Compile your Java Source and you should not use this filename (if you would like to save your batch file into JPlain's Command folder).

About Author

I am one of unemployed here in Sweden and I decided to sell my program (do not worry, not this program). To sell my own program is better than nothing... I thought, but not much luck right now.
If you are interested in HTML program (plain editor - not WYSIWYG), please visit my web site at: http://home5.swipnet.se/~w-52253/. You may want to buy one copy of the shareware program as the donations. It helps me to continue developing like this applications.
You are also welcome to send me any question and / or suggestions. E-mail : mino.studio@swipnet.se
