Failed loading MRJApp.properties file
Submitted by simonvwade on Thursday, 20 November, 2008 - 01:38
I've just install the new pre16 version of jEdit and it won't launch on Mac OS 10.5.5. I'll go back to using the pre15 version, but it'd be great to get a solution to this - wouldn't be a good look for newcomers to jEdit!

Here's the errors from the Console:

Try replacing the soft link u

Try replacing the soft link under /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS with a copy of what it's soft linking to.

Be sure to quit (Command + Q) jEdit first.
[code]
cd /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS
mv jedit jedit.bak
cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub .
mv JavaApplicationStub jedit
[/code]

This works for me, and I also have the Mac OS plugin enabled.

Same problem here. Started after rebooting for a JDK upgrade (pre16 worked before the upgrade). Fixed by copying the linked file. Wierd.
