Re: [ jEdit-users ] Getting command line working on OS X Lion

[David B. <dav...@ed...>]

Could you have an issue with multiple version of Java?  Here is a link
to how I start jEdit; which works for me on a Mac

http://praxis.edoceo.com/gui/jedit

It's a modified shell script to launch jEdit; adds more command line options.

Update the JAVA_HOME environment to make it work properly
