I am exporting it in the script that launches jedit but it does not 
appear to be picking it up. The reason I say that is that the Project 
Viewer plugin has an option which can use environment variables as a 
prefix to paths when accessing project data. But in Linux the 
corresponding environment variable is not being used by PV even after I 
have set and exported it in the launch script.

Is there a way in jedit to get it to show what environment variables are 
in effect when I am using it ? Perhaps the console plugin lets me see that.

I do not know. is this the way to add an environment variable so that 
jedit picks it up when it is run ?
