Manual installation of Jindent's UltraEdit plugin

Before starting the plugin installation please note some points:

We downloaded the Jindent Windows 9x/ME/2000/NT/XP installation bundle and installed Jindent on our harddisc at: C:\Jindent\.
We used a free trial version of UltraEdit 11.10, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items can differ from our description.
In our case Jindent was the first tool we integrated into UltraEdit. If you already have some other tools integrated, then of course some screenshots may look different.
Our Jindent settings file was located at: C:\Jindent\MySettings.xjs.
(Of course you can substitute this path by your own. If you already do not have a Jindent settings file then we will create one later in this instructions.)

At first start UltraEdit with an empty or new document.

Open the 'Advanced' menu, then choose and click 'Tool Configuration...'.

Now create the Jindent Customizer entry and change all settings in the tool configuration according the screenshot below. Then click on button 'Advanced...'.

Now choose the customizer icon from Jindent's installation directory and click 'Okay' to go back to the 'Tool configuration' dialog. There click on button 'insert' to insert the Jindent Customizer to UltraEdit's toolbar.

Now create the Jindent entry and change all settings in the tool configuration according the screenshot below. Then click on button 'Advanced...'.

Now choose the Jindent console icon from Jindent's installation directory and click 'Okay' to go back to the 'Tool configuration' dialog. There click on button 'insert' to insert Jindent to UltraEdit's toolbar.

Now 'Jindent' and 'Jindent Customizer' are available in the 'Advanced' menu.

Before using Jindent in UltraEdit you have still to create a Jindent settings file stored at: C:\Jindent\MySettings.xjs. (If you already have a file there then please skip this part.)
Just click on menu 'Advanced' and select 'Jindent Customizer'.

The customizer starts and an error dialog pops up telling that the settings file cannot be found. Just click 'Okay'. Now you can use the customizer to configure all formatting settings regarding your desired style.

After configuring the customizer click on its 'File' menu and select 'Save as...'. Store your settings file at: C:\Jindent\MySettings.xjs. Finally close the customizer.

Now the Jindent plugin is installed in UltraEdit. Just click on menu 'Advanced' and select 'Jindent' to format the source file located in UltraEdit's active window in the front.
Now UltraEdit will report you 'C:\filename has been changed by another application. Do you want to reload it?'. Agree to replace your old file with the new formatted one or refuse to do nothing.
