Wow, did you really test this on jEdit 4.3 for API compatibility?
When we package/release it, we will be testing against jEdit 5.0 or 5.1
Also, after the release, should we just hide the other netrexx plugins you released previously or set a max jEdit version on them?

[Kermit Kiser]

OK, I think this is ready to go at tag "1.0.0forJava8". If I build it with Java 6, it seems to work with Java6, 7 and 8. I had a little trouble getting jEdit to run with the older Java versions on Windows 7 - it seems to always use the latest version unless you start it with java -jar...
