Requirements to build from sources
==================================
* Proper Java JRE/JDK from Sun, e.g. 1.6.0_18
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
* Netbeans 6.8
http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
* Scala for Netbeans: version 6.8v1.1
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439&package_id=256544
http://blogtrader.net/dcaoyuan/category/NetBeans
http://wiki.netbeans.org/Scala
* jEdit 4.3.1 (final)
http://www.jedit.org/
Netbeans Project "jEdit": install official sources as ./contrib/jEdit/.
* jEdit plugins:
Netbeans Library "Console" = $HOME/.jedit/jars/Console.jar
Netbeans Library "SideKick" = $HOME/.jedit/jars/SideKick.jar
Netbeans Library "ErrorList" = $HOME/.jedit/jars/ErrorList.jar
Netbeans Library "Hyperlinks" = $HOME/.jedit/jars/Hyperlinks.jar
* Cobra Renderer 0.98.4
http://lobobrowser.org/cobra.jsp
Netbeans Library "Cobra-Renderer" = .../cobra.jar
Netbenas Library "Rhino-JavaScript" = .../js.jar
* Isabelle/Pure Scala components
Netbeans Library "Isabelle-Pure" = ~~/lib/classes/Pure.jar
* Scala Compiler
Netbeans Library "Scala-compiler" = $SCALA_HOME/lib/scala-compiler.jar
Running the application within Netbeans
=======================================
* Project properties: add "Run" argument like
-noserver -nobackground -settings=/home/makarius/isabelle/isabelle-jedit/dist
* The Isabelle environment is obtained automatically via
"$ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle getenv", where ISABELLE_HOME is determined as follows:
(1) via regular Isabelle settings,
e.g. "isabelle env netbeans"
(2) or via ISABELLE_HOME from raw process environment,
e.g. "env ISABELLE_HOME=.../Isabelle netbeans"
(3) or via JVM system properties (cf. "Run / VM Options")
e.g. -Disabelle.home=.../Isabelle
Misc notes
==========
- Netbeans config/Editors/Preferences/...-CustomPreferences.xml
<entry javaType="java.lang.Integer" name="caret-blink-rate" xml:space="preserve">
<value><![CDATA[0]]></value>
</entry>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To run jedit with remote debugging enabled, I use the following
command: "java
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,server=y,address=XXXX
-jar jedit.jar"
where XXXX is any open port number you wish. The above invocation
works for Sun's JDK 5.0. There's an alternate incantation for earlier
releases. (See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jpda/conninv.html)

Known problems with Mac OS
==========================
- The MacOSX plugin disrupts regular C-X/C/V operations, e.g. between
the editor and the Console plugin, which is a standard swing text
box. Similar for search boxes etc.
- Anti-aliasing does not really work as well as for Linux or Windows.
(General Apple/Swing problem?)
- Font.createFont mangles the font family of non-regular fonts,
e.g. bold.
