Re: [ jEdit-users ] jedit crashes on startup

[Jeffrey H. <jc...@gm...>]

That version you have is quite old.  You'd be better served going to
jedit.org and grabbing a version there - it has a perfectly adequate
multi-platform installer.

If you want to stay with the version in the rpm, I suggest upping the
memory limit.  In the line:

-Djedit.home=3D/usr/share/jedit -mx32m -classpath

change the 32 to something larger.  At least 64, though if you edit a
lot of large files or do large regular expression search and replace,
128 or 256 is better.  Not sure it will help, as 32 should be just
fine for start up, but it's worth a shot.

They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
