Introduction

EditBus facilitates communication and abstract data exchange between plugins, without the plugins having to know about each other. This is accomplished using messages. A message is a class, and all supported messages in the org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg package.

As of jEdit 2.2pre6, the message passing logic has been moved into the jEdit core, and this plugin only contains a few interfaces and additional messages.

Documentation on the message passing will be provided in a future jEdit release, and information about the messages in this plugin will be here very soon.
