XEP Connector for jEdit now uses new RenderX XEP API, introduced in XEP 4.0. Since jEdit 4.2 is final, we've updated the loader to the new interface. jEdit plugin now requires jEdit 4.2.
XEP Connector for jEdit is a set of interface classes that links XEP to jEdit editor (http://www.jedit.org). It registers itself as a jEdit plugin, and permits to apply an XSL FO (XSLFO) stylesheet to an XML document open in jEdit, producing a PDF document. There is also a preview option.
XEP Connector is a free software, with source code included in the distribution. Permission to copy and modify is hereby granted, with the following condition: any derived work must bear a clear reference to the original product.
