Steps to reproduce:
start jedit. 
   switch to a command shell window.
   type "jedit blah.txt". (where your jedit.bat or script has -reuseview
as a parameter)
   jedit should be the front window now
  and I should be able to type into the editor.

I notice sometimes with windows XP and only one view, it does behave this
way, but not reliably.

Some additional info.
On windows, I can reproduce this only if there is more than 1 view
active.
On linux, I can reproduce this with only one view.
Also, the focus seems OK, it's just the fact that the window is not raised
to the top.

i tried adding a view.toFront() in EditPane.java line 201 but it had no
effect. I don't know why.
