jEdit vs Ubuntu 6.06

Submitted by imehesz on Wednesday, 14 June, 2006 - 22:23

Hello everybody,

I started to use jEdit about 3 months ago w/ windows. and i just love it... I tried to install it on my debian laptop but i got some error message during the installation and since that laptop is my "experiment" laptop I installed Ubuntu 6.06...

so finally, jEdit is up on my computer but it won't start... and when I try to launch it through command line, i get a nesty message saying:

GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!
Exception in thread "main" GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit
*** Got java.lang.OutOfMemoryError while trying to print stack trace.

Do you guys know what it is???

thanks

Hi I found this solution from here http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/ and you don't need to edit the jedit file.

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin
sudo update-alternatives --config java

The second line will allow you to choose sun's java re out of the list and then all java calls will go via sun's jre

Install JEdit on ubuntu

To fix the "Out of Memory! Returning NIL!" error, I edited /usr/bin/jedit (which is a shell script),
and changed :
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
by :
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=128

JEdit still didn't work, and I had to comment the rest of the script, and write instead :
exec /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/java -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/usr/share/jedit/jedit.jar" $@

if you havent already figured this out, ubuntu doesnt come with a real JRE and it is trying to run jedit with gjc (i think thats what its called)... anyways, i would recommend installing sun's JRE which you can do pretty easily by adding restricted to your repositories... there are plenty of tutorials on ubuntu's forums that explain how to get sun's jre installed.
