In your installer you require the user to accept the GPL. This is incorrect. The GPL does not impose anything on the user and he does not have to accept it to use the software. Someone who is modifying the software has to accept it and does so by modifying already. It is ok to present the GPL to the user and let him Acknowledge, but he should not be forced to accept it.

    Ok, I will look at it, just using default behaviour of the installer.

    Also, Thank you for your work on JEdit; I do use JEdit.
