I too am still using 10.2.8, and would like to be able to keep up with 
jEdit if possible. I do plan on upgrading the Macs I have that can 
handle it to 10.3, but that won't happen until things slow down a bit 
for me, which might be a while...

(Thanks again go out to Slava and the jEdit community for all the hard 
work.)
