jEdit launcher, Mac OS/X, Java 1.5.0_19
Submitted by k.kelln on Monday, 22 June, 2009 - 19:29
I just upgraded my Macbook (OS/X 10.5.7) to Java 1.5.0_19 and my jEdit launcher stopped working. This happens everytime I update Java or Mac OS/X versions. I can fire off the jar version, but the normal launcher crashes and burns. Of course, with the jar version I lose the Mac specific interface. Ideas?

Open jEdit.app/Contents/info.plist
if You have Apple Developer Tools installed Property List Editor will open it. if not a text editor will work.

if you look under the Java key you will see JVMVersion is set to 1.5+
change the 1.5+ to 1.6*

Now jEdit will launch with Java 1.6

Seems the old MacOS plugin is breaking with the new Java update.

In your terminal:
[code]
cd /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jars
mv MacOS.jar ..
[/code]

You should try out the new "Mac OS X Support" plugin created by Seph Soliman.

If that doesn't work, you might also need to do the Soft-link trick here:

Moving MacOS.jar makes the magic work again.

Thanks.

What's the jEdit launcher? I'm using the Mac version of jEdit (packaged as a .app), and I didn't have any trouble at all after the recent Java version bump.
