# jedit
Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable not set.
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: Permission denied

The cause is the dir /usr/share/jedit not having r-x permissions for "other". Of course this is fixed by simply saying chmod -R o+rX /usr/share/jedit .

I noticed that the dir is missing in the list of files provided by the rpm (as in the output of rpm -q --list -p jedit-4.1-1.noarch.rpm), so this might be the problem and should be fixed. It probably doesn't arise if you don't have such a restrictive umask like me, but then again some people may and they will run into the same problem, so I thought I'd just qickly post this.
