Two possibilities you might try on a trial and error basis:

When you run build.xml from the command line, the path to optional.jar is 
somewhere in your classpath. Try putting that path in the classpath used 
when launching jEdit.

You may need to put a classpath statement into the build.xml file:
Example:

             <classpath>
                 <pathelement path="${ant.home}"/>
                     <fileset dir="lib">
                         <include name="**/*.jar"/>
                     </fileset>
             </classpath>

There are probably more concise ways to do that. i just pulled it from one 
of my own build files.
