would it be possible to use JNI to provide some Java functionality to a C++ plugin? AFAIK this would certainly be possible assuming you know enough about JNI. do i need to do any character encoding/decoding Most likely. Getting the text from Scintilla just gives you a const char * to the text however it is currently set to be encoded. You’d also want to make sure any text inserted/added to Scintilla also has the proper encoding (SCI_GETCODEPAGE may be useful to you). Depending on what you are doing you can probably do this in either Java or C++ (I don’t know enough about JNI). When writing C++ plugins I’ve normally used MultiByteToWideChar() and WideCharToMultiByte().

Thanks Claudia…let me try that…I do appreciate it.

@Luke-Bawden Someone has already made an UDL maybe you can use this one? Cheers Claudia

@Larsen-E-Whipsnade what means FireFox is a full v47.0 version ?? Firefox has been installed? Not just copied over? What happens if you press windows+R key combination and type firefox into the run field? Cheers Claudia

Hello, PluginManager’s plugins list haven’t been updated for quite long time so it information is very outdated. You can get the DSpellCheck plugin from https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/tag/1.2.14.2 BR

As Claudia says, and as happens to me, Plugin Manager cannor download it from sourceforge. The PM says its at: “/projects/jsminnpp/files/Uni/JDToolNPP.16.10.uni.zi” (and it cuts it there). When I go to: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsminnpp/files/Uni/ I see several files, and “JSToolNPP.1.16.10.uni.zip” downloads fine. And it contains “JSMinNPP.dll”. I copied the dll into NPP’s plugin directory and re-running NPP shows it in the Plugins menu and it works.

@Kasper-Graversen Ahh, now I understand. Thx for clarification. Cheers Claudia

@zkirkland great dump.
