Dear all,

is it possible to use the Console plugin in Isabelle/jEdit to build the
document for the current buffer under Windows?

Best

It is certainly possible, but it depends what you actually have in mind.

The jEdit Console plugin provides various sub-plugins. E.g. "System" is for a
system shell: on Windows that is a wrapped-up command.com that does not quite
work with Isabelle command-line tools, at least I did not manage nor try it
seriously so far.

The Isabelle/jEdit Console/Scala plugin provides access to the running
Isabelle/Scala/PIDE session. Thus you can invoke the Scala functions behind
various command-line tools directly (and much more).

For example, lets first use the Cygwin-Terminal to create a session like this:

isabelle mkroot '~/Test_Session'

Now you could build it (with document) in the same Cygwin-Terminal:

isabelle build -D '~/Test_Session'

Alternatively, you can do it within the running Isabelle/Scala/PIDE process:

Build.build(PIDE.options.value, progress = new Console_Progress, select_dirs
= List(Path.explode("~/Test_Session")))

That is sometimes convenient: it avoids relaunching a full JVM each time, as
is done in "isabelle build".

But it lacks proper connection to the edited theory texts: that is a still
pending project.
