Re: Plugins mirrors

Hi,

the mirrors system on SourceForge apparently got changed, so that not
every file is present on all mirrors anymore if they are not
downloaded regularly I guess.
There are files that are acutally only available on one mirror.
With the next release of jEdit (5.4.0) which will probably come out
soon, I changed the logic of how the files are downloaded, so it
should always work and fall back to a mirror that has the file in
question present.
You can either use a nightly build as of tomorrow, or wait for 5.4.0.

In the meantime you can either
- take the plugin JARs from your old jEdit installation as Andrew
suggested if you still have them available or
- try using the "Plugin Center default" which should always use a
mirror that has the file in question available or
- as last resort go to http://plugins.jedit.org and download the
plugin manually, this also always works

Regards
Björn
