jEdit
JEdit is a free text editor, primarily aimed at programmers. It is written in Java and therefore runs on any operating system with Java support, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The processing of source code is particularly supported: for many programming languages are syntax and structure by means typographical or code folding highlighted. In addition to ISO 8859-1 and UTF -8 various other character sets are supported, so easy even foreign-language text files can be written.

Through the plug-ins to jEdit can be adapted to the needs of the user. It is for example possible to configure it as a complete IDE. With compiler, source code completion, context- sensitive help, debugging, syntax highlighting and language-specific tools. Furthermore, workflows can be recorded as macros and edited in BeanShell.
