jEdit and it's plugins that have menu items have code in the actions.xml
file correlating with those menu items. I think the one Alan's talking
about here is in the jedit core source code under [trunk]/org/gjt/sp/jedit.

Note that the "NAME"s in that file though are actually id's of the actions,
the actual text is in a props file somewhere (can't remember exactly where
off hand). So you may have to guess a bit to find what you're looking for.

jEdit's core code itself is in SVN, but most jEdit plugins are also under
jEdit's source control. Some of those plugins wanted to use Git instead of
SVN, so that's why there is both.

In SVN, jEdit core code is under:
https://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jedit/jEdit

The Plugins start under:
https://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jedit/plugins
