NOTE: I think I tracked down all the jEdit blog entries, but am going to hold off updating the navigation links at the bottom-right of each entry for a while in case I missed some.  So if you spot any that are not in this index let me know!

jEdit is a programmer's editor that I like to use for 2600 development. It's written in Java, so is cross-platform. Key feature I like is the syntax highlighting, which makes it easy to spot typos - notice the first GRP0 in SplashKernel was typed with the letter O rather than the number 0, so is colored white instead of orange like the GRP1 below it.

A binary colorization rule also makes it easy to see graphics in your source code:
