Support

Is there some commercial support available for JPEd?

JPEd is developped as an open source project, based on the code of JAWE. We do not provide commercial support, mainly because developper's main job is not related to JPEd, he just happens to use an improve it. If you are a company providing support for JPEd, we would be glad to list you here! You can, however, contact main jped developper tchize on sourceforge.net if you have needs for a specific plugin.

I have made some modifications to JPEd that, i think, might be interresting. Would you like to include them?

You can submit patches, i will review them and add them if they are interresting enough. It will be either in the core of jped or as a plugin, depending on usage.

Running and configuring JPEd

Which version of java do i require to run JPEd?

The JPEd components are developped to work with java 1.4 or higher. So, a jvm version 1.4 should be enough to run JPEd and most of the JPEd plugins. However, some plugins might have higher requirements.

I get "Unsupported major.minor version 49.0"

You are using a plugin for which version requirement is higher thant java 1.4 and you are using a 1.4 jvm to run it. This may be, for example, the case of substance plugin.

Note, if you are using JPEd-all 2.0 (prerelease) it requires java 5 due to the inclusion of Substance plugin. Upgrade to final release of JPEd 2.0 which provides for easier plugins management than prerelease.

How do i install plugins?

Go to you JPEd installation directory. There you will find a "plugins/" folder, next to the bin/ and lib/ ones. If it does not exist, create it. Just put the jar of the plugin there, JPEd will load it automatically upon next startup.

Is it possible to have different plugins for different users?

If you don't want to install plugins in the JPEd installation Directory, you can put the in the {user.home}/.jped/plugins folder (if needed, create it). The value of user.home depends on the operation system. On linux or unix system, this is the user home directory. On windows systems, it's the Document And Settings\username\ folder.
