Re: [ jEdit-users ] Java version confusion

[Shlomy R. <sre...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am not sure if OpenJDK's version says "Sun Microsystems"  but OpenJDK also
came from Sun.
Also, the "server mode" part means that jEdit is operating as an
edit-server, and any invocation from the command-line can use that
edit-server instead of launching a new jEdit instance. Potentially (I don't
know if this is your case), the edit-server could have been launched on
startup (without any visible GUI) with another JDK version, and then
launching jEdit later using OpenJDK would use the edit-server for the
editing rather than starting a new jEdit instance with OpenJDK. So you could
end-up starting jEdit from the command-line using OpenJDK but the GUI itself
would use another JDK (the one that was used to launch the edit-server).
