The problem is caused by a change made in View.java

/*
                // Because the buffers menu contains normal items as
                // well as dynamically-generated stuff, we are careful
                // to only remove the dynamic crap here...
                for(int i = buffers.getMenuComponentCount() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                {
                        if(buffers.getMenuComponent(i) instanceof JSeparator)
                                break;
                        else
                                buffers.remove(i);
                }
*/
                buffers.removeAll();

deleting buffer.removeAll() and removing the commenting out from the previous code fixes the problem. As there is no obvious reason why the change was made I don't know what impact this will have elsewhere. Anyway jEdit 2.6 final now seems to run OK under OS/2.

The code as currently written makes it imcompatable with java version older than 1.2

There is also a problem with the 2.6 final source download. A lot of files have lost there upper case characters.
