Full blown IDEs like Eclipse and Visual Studio are nice, but on a constrained machine like the eee, something a bit lighter might make more sense.
My favorite editor is jEdit. I love it 'cause it runs on windows, *nix and even macosx (i've heard).
It does syntax highlighting for just about any language you can think of and is very cusomizable.
It even has a bunch of plug-ins to do IDE-like things.
Since the java vm is pre-installed on the eee, all you need to to is download the java installer from jedit.org.
I was editing some html templates on the bus yesterday.
Edit in jEdit, switch to Firefox to see how it renders.
Beautiful.

Wow interesting stuff! Thanks for the info.

I agree Jedit is a splendid editor (which runs just great on Mac OS X!). However when I try to install on the E3 I get a SIGSEGV error. Did you do anything special??

I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary.
I think it was as simple as:
$sudo java jedit42install.jar
I did download the stable version (4.2) and not the dev version (4.3pre), but I'm not sure if that matters any.
Let me know if you need any more info.

Strange. I've tried 4.2 and 4.3. The install should be "sudo java -jar <jarfile>". Each crashes the JVM. I wonder what's different between yours and mine. If you don't mind, please could you tell me what version you get when you type "java -version"? Thanks!

I've found a workaround... "sudo java -server -jar <jarfile>" works. No idea why...!

md81544,
I'm running java version 1.5.0_10
I have to do a partition restore (screwed up a kde install), so after the restore i'll try to install jEdit again and see what happens.
Update:
I just installed jEdit again after the partition restore:
$sudo java -jar jedit42install.jar
...did the trick for me.

I just got jEdit 4.3pre11 installed. I had to use "sudo java -server -jar <jarfile>" for the install, and to get jEdit to launch.
Is there any way to easily add an icon or another simple way to launch it?

raster,
i've been running jedit from the command line, basically because i'm lazy.
if you check the wiki, they have instructions for adding new progs to the start menu, if you're running in "easy mode".
if you're running full desktop mode, just follow the instructions for updating the start menu in kde.

I think everyone is making it too hard.
They went to the trouble of packaging it into deb file....
so why not install jedit is the standard debian way...
"# To install jEdit via Debian Linux apt-get, add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jedit ./
deb-src http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jedit ./
Then, just run apt-get update, followed by apt-get install jedit or apt-get source jedit.
"
ctrl+alt+t then
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install jedit
jedit stable version I think
or use gsynaptic if you prefer.
I installed the developer (newer version) like this:
Download and manually install the experimental .deb file.
Go here
Debian package
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jedi … 14_all.deb
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=595374
download the .deb file.
In filemanager right click on it and chose install .deb file
it creates things in the right places automatically.
/usr/bin/jedit
to start the program ctrl + alt + t
then type "jedit"
it will put your settings in the right place on the first run /home/user/.jedit/
Here's what it does:
/home/user/D:/downloads> sudo dpkg -i jedit_4.3pre14_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package jedit.
(Reading database ... 76271 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking jedit (from jedit_4.3pre14_all.deb) ...
Setting up jedit (04.03.14.00) ...
/home/user/D:/downloads> jedit
Warning: $JAVA_HOME environment variable not set! Consider setting it.
Attempting to locate java...
Found a virtual machine at: /usr/bin/java...
and it starts 
very simple... too bad its not in the repos.
-----
you may create an icon for easy mode in the usual way...
or better yet associate files in the filemanager with jedit by file extension.
right click on a .php or similar and chose "edit file type"
then "add" and chose jedit wihich is under development
now filemanager will use jedit on a double click of these files

I've got jEdit installed too, been using it for a number of years and I honestly think it's one of the best editors out there! The only hitch is that that's all it is, an editor, no compiler, but that doesn't bother me since I usually run through Terminal.

There are some jEdit addons that help launch compilation from within the editor.
However now that both Eclipse and Netbeans feature on-the-fly compilation as well as adopting
one of the hallmarks of jEdit - operating as a folding editor, jEdit is getting a bit of a competition....
I wish it could keep up, but while the IDE's can evolve their editors, jEdit can't likely become an IDE.
