Re: [ jEdit-users ] FirstMate plugin not working with jedit 4.3pre17?

[shawn s. <clo...@gm...>]

Thank you this gave me just enough information to, after much
prodding, get things working. It seems that on the mac, jedit
somewhere caches which version of java you are using and then uses
that version even after switching versions with the java selector
application that comes in OS X. I could see this by running "java
-version" in the terminal and getting back that the default was indeed
1.6 but then when doing a Help > About jEdit and seeing at the bottom
it was still using 1.5.

So... starting jedit with "java -jar
/Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jedit.jar" I was able
to get it to use the default version (1.6) of java on the system and
both plugins load fine now. But... I lack the mac integration it
seems. File menu is no longer in the right spot...

So... now I just need to figure out how to change that in the
launcher, or perhaps just installing jedit with version 1.6 as the
default will do the trick?
