Installing JEdit on ubuntu 8.04

Sometime i found much difficulty in opening JBoss's log files to solve it i came to know through my seniors about JEdit, which makes life easier to read Bcoded files to open at its ease ;)

jEdit is a mature programmer's text editor with hundreds (counting the time developing plugins) of person-years of development behind it. To download, install, and set up jEdit as quickly and painlessly as possible.

So here is the simplest way of installing JEdit text editor on ubuntu

sudo gedit
Hit the password

@gedit
open /etc/apt/sources.list

Add following lines at last

deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/j/je/jedit/ ./

deb-src http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/j/je/jedit/ ./

Save it and close it :)

now open console (command prompt) and do

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jedit

thats it done

on console type jedit it should be open and ready to serve

Cheersssss
