## org.gjt.sp.jedit
Class EditServer

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Thread
          org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditServer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Runnable

    public class EditServer

extends java.lang.Thread

Inter-process communication.

The edit server protocol is very simple. `$HOME/.jedit/server` is an ASCII file containing two lines, the first being the port number, the second being the authorization key.

You connect to that port on the local machine, sending the authorization key as four bytes in network byte order, followed by the length of the BeanShell script as two bytes in network byte order, followed by the script in UTF8 encoding. After the socked is closed, the BeanShell script will be executed by jEdit.

The snippet is executed in the AWT thread. None of the usual BeanShell variables (view, buffer, textArea, editPane) are set so the script has to figure things out by itself.

In most cases, the script will call the static `handleClient(boolean,String,String[])` method, but of course more complicated stuff can be done too.
