- .lang files go in %ProgramFiles%\gedit\share\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\
- plugins go in %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\gedit\plugins\
- styles go in %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\gedit\styles\
- -mime.xml files do not appear to need installation
- Grails.tags.gz goes in %ProgramFiles%\gedit\share\plugins\taglist\ (because TagList is one of the plugins shipped with gedit by default)
Of the gedit-grails-bundle plugins only autocomplete and zen coding work unmodified, the rest have unmet dependencies; this could probably be resolved by tracking down and installing those dependencies, but that can be a very slippery slope.
Missing from gedit is built-in "find/replace in files" functionality. None of the plugins I tried worked unmodified; the only one without external dependencies is the one from the Gedit Developer Plugin (GDP) bundle (gedit-developer-plugin-2.28.0). I had to do the following to get it to install and run:
- Rename gdpfind.gedit-plugin.desktop.in to gdpfind.gedit-plugin
- Edit gdpfind.gedit-plugin to remove the leading underscores from Name and Description
- Edit the method in __init__.py as below:
def on_file_lines_row_activated(treeview, path, view_column, plugin):
"""Open the file and jump to the line."""
treestore = treeview.get_model()
piter = treestore.get_iter(path)
base_dir = treestore.get_value(piter, 4)
path = treestore.get_value(piter, 0)
if base_dir is None or path is None:
# There is not enough information to open a document.
return
# windows-only hack to strip leading 'file://' which prevents file from opening
# uri = 'file://%s' % os.path.abspath(os.path.join(base_dir, path))
uri = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(base_dir, path))
line_no = treestore.get_value(piter, 2) - 1
if line_no < 0:
line_no = 0
plugin.activate_open_doc(uri, jump_to=line_no)
"""Open the file and jump to the line."""
treestore = treeview.get_model()
piter = treestore.get_iter(path)
base_dir = treestore.get_value(piter, 4)
path = treestore.get_value(piter, 0)
if base_dir is None or path is None:
# There is not enough information to open a document.
return
# windows-only hack to strip leading 'file://' which prevents file from opening
# uri = 'file://%s' % os.path.abspath(os.path.join(base_dir, path))
uri = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(base_dir, path))
line_no = treestore.get_value(piter, 2) - 1
if line_no < 0:
line_no = 0
plugin.activate_open_doc(uri, jump_to=line_no)
Without this change, the URI passed to the new tab has a leading "file://" that will prevent the file from opening properly.

edit: Changed where the _init_.py fix goes, in the method where the leading 'file://' is added to the URI in the first place; also added install location for Grails.tags.gz file.
