Yes but it is impossible, how do you expect to do that ?
Eclipse is opensource but not written with Swing but SWT so we must forget
it, Idea isn't opensource,
what about Netbeans ?

I don't think the jEdit core has too much to do with that. Making jEdit
become an IDE is a plugin task,
not a core task. But you're right the plugins release is quicker now
