Jext

Jext is a free source code editor that’s written in Java. It’s perfect for editing text and HTML files, making it super handy for developers!

Supported Languages

Originally made to support the Java programming language, Jext has grown up! Nowadays, it can handle a ton of other languages too. You can edit C, C++, C#, ASP, PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, TeX, XHTML, XSLT, Eiffel, JSP—pretty much anything you need.

Powerful Features

This software isn’t just about editing; it comes packed with features that make your life easier. Want to keep track of your projects? The bookmarks tool has got your back! You can categorize opened files using workspaces and even open zipped files directly. Need to grab a file from the Internet? No problem! You can do that straight from Jext.

Email and Execute Commands

You can email your source code right from the app or run system commands in the internal console. Plus, if you're looking to type faster, there's HyperTyper and a customizable snippets library to help you out!

Add More with Plugins

Feeling creative? You can add new features with plugins or explore the advanced editing capabilities. There's also an internal Python interpreter available for those who want to dive deeper into coding.

Open Architecture for Developers

If you’re a developer yourself, you’ll really appreciate Jext’s open architecture. It’s built on GPLed libraries and uses many XML files which make improving Jext easy-peasy. Want to write your own plugins in Python or Java? Go for it!
