A text and code editor written in Java. It features an easy project setup to compile and run code from within the editor with support for Java, C#, Python and R. The editor is suited for learning, quick prototyping, or programming projects for personal use.
The editor can be tried out by downloading the JAR in a release.
It is run with:
java -jar Eadgyth.jar
The program can be built in Netbeans or Eclipse (or with a build of Eadgyth itself) using the src directory in the repository. The name of the main file is eg.Eadgyth.java.
- JDK 8 or higher to run and build the editor.
- To compile Java code by the built-in compile function, the editor must be run with the JRE contained in a JDK (not an issue with Java 11+).
- To run C#, Python, or R, the executable paths must be present in your system PATH. To compile and run C# code, the editor internally calls the dotnet command. This requires a .NET SDK to be installed. A minimalistic .csproj file is generated automatically upon compilation.
- ℹ️ As of v1.2.1, the editor requires UTF-8 encoded source files for reliable execution and compilation. An option to convert files to UTF-8 is available. When opening non-UTF-8 files, the system's default or a selectable encoding is used as a fallback. Previous versions rely on the JVM default encoding; therefore, avoid those versions for existing files that differ from your system's default encoding.
- Syntax highlighting is simple (coloring of keywords, sigils, tags, string literals, line and block comments) and supports Java, C#, Pythyon, R, HTML, XML, PHP CSS and JavaScript. While generally performant, opening or closing multiline string litererals can cause noticeable delays. The syntax highlighting is part of this editor and not meant as an example of how it should be done at the code level.
- The dark backgrounds are applied to the main window only. The main menu bar with System L&F and title bar remain system dependent. Menus, dialogs et cetera are so far excluded.
- The built-in console may appear frozen when a process buffers its output. This potentially affects own commands specified in the project category "Custom Commands". This issue can often be resolved by enabling auto-flushing via a command-line switch or script command if the language supports it.

- The program uses icons from Tango Desktop Project.
- The dark-blue background theme uses the Dracula Colors and colors for the other dark backgrounds were found starting with these colors.
