I forwarded this to Vampire and put a CC to jedit-devel to get more eyes
on the problem.

I remembered that I moved them into dist/jars when I got the error while
working with win32installer.iss. I have forgotten it for now because
once they are placed there, no error happens, while the jars are not
updated.

I now looked into build.xml in detail.

In the target "compile-default-plugins-for-dist", the property
jedit.install.dir is set for each ant tasks. It is used to tell
plugin-build.xml where jedit.jar is in. But it is not used to guess
where the jars should be placed. Instead, another property install.dir
is used. It seems that build.xml lacks setting of install.dir for these
ant tasks.

I made a patch to solve this based of above investigation. It works as
expected for me. Now, Vampire, please look into the patch and tell us
how did you build the installers with the current version of build.xml.
I'll commit the patch if it is clearly to be fixed.

Thanks.
