Re: [ jEdit-users ] How to install jEdit 4.4 or 5.0 on Ubuntu 10.04?

[Vampire <Va...@jE...>]

Hi David,

Ubuntu is very restrictive with updating versions that are no security
updates. We have no control over what they put to their official
repository.

You have three options of installing a newer version of jEdit.

1. Do not use the jEdit from the official Ubuntu repository but use or own
Debian repository. From there you will always get the latest stable release
at the same time the other installers are released. Instructions for this
can be found at the download page:
http://jedit.org/index.php?page=download&platform=unix#option_two

2. Download one of the released or daily built Debian packages from the
website and install it manually. Download Links for this are also present
on the same Download page.

3. Uninstall the Debian package and use the Java installer to install
jEdit. The download link for this is also present on the same Download
page.

I personally favor the first option.

Regards
Vampire
