The problem is the naive shell script that is used to launch jEdit. It=20
does not quote the $@ at the end of the exec line that launches the JVM=20
to run jEdit.

I replace that script with this one, which while not generic enough to=20
be included in the distribution, illustrates the proper quoting of the=20
arguments passed to it (the last line):

=2D=3D=3D--=3D=3D--=3D=3D--=3D=3D--=3D=3D-/usr/local/bin/jedit-=3D=3D--=3D=
=3D--=3D=3D--=3D=3D--=3D=3D-
#!/bin/bash --norc

    DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME=3D"$JAVA5_HOME"

    # Which jEdit version
    JEDIT_JAR=3D"/usr/local/share/jedit/4.3pre8/jedit.jar"

    # Java heap size, in megabytes
    JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=3D64

    JAVA5_HOME=3D"/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun"

    if [ "$JAVA_HOME" =3D "" ]; then
        JAVA_HOME=3D"$DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME"
    fi

    exec \
        "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" \
            -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m \
            ${JEDIT} \
            -jar "$JEDIT_JAR" \
            "$@"
