jEdit Maya Editor Plugin 1.7.1

With the Maya Editor Plugin you can send commands to the currently open Maya session and get any results or error messages back in a dedicated jEdit buffer. You can also source the contents of a jEdit buffer and it will return results and/or error messages.  Both MEL and Python commands are supported.

It functions like the Maya script editor except that you are able to have syntax highlighting in the MayaEditor.mel buffer and you can save the results to disk at any time.

Search through multiple sets of documentation including MEL, Maya API, Maya Python
commands and Pymel.  Display the results within jEdit or launch an external
html viewer.

Includes options to:

• Execute MEL Range
• Execute Python Range
• Execute Buffer (either MEL or Python based on file extension)
• Clear Buffer
• Display docs
