Summary: "About jEdit" dialog - widget extension for Updater plugin

Initial Comment:
Summary says it all. I know there's no consensus among the developers. But meanwhile a self-updating program is become a thing that very much users simply expect as an integrated feature.

Possibly a nice integration could be, that the plugin Managers update pane also provides a core update as the very first list item...

Message:
I think it would make more sense for the "About jEdit" dialog to have a way
for Updater to add a panel to it.
This way, if updater is installed, it can show a button saying "update
available" or a message "you are up to date" depending on updater's
settings. 
I don't think it makes sense to have jEdit itself delivered through the
plugin manager update pane.
