When will jEdit be cleared to use Java 9?

Submitted by jrs40 on Thursday, 18 January, 2018 - 15:06

I cannot use jEdit with Java 9. I am running a Windows 10 x64-x86 box. When I click on any shortcuts that start the jEdit.exe program I get a message stating that i need a Java 1.8.x JRE and then am sent to a java Website to download the appropriate JRE. How do I inform the jEdit.exe program tjat java 9 is a valid java installation? Failing that, when can I expect to see a version of jEdit compatible with Java 9? Remember, Java 8 is officially unsupported as of October 2018. I do not look forward to creating form my own use some sort of script to run on a Windows 10 box to emulate the jEdit.exe program.

I spent some time and figured out how to modify the Windows Setup of jEdit so it can run using any version of Java, bypassing the jEdit launcher. I record this here so others can use the setup. 1) Install the Windows jEdit distribution as normal. 2) Insure that the path :\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath is in the PATH 3) Add the jEdit directory to the PATH. 4) In the jEdit directory enter the following Batch File and name it "jEdit.cmd": @echo off set JAVA_PATH=:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath set JEDIT_HOME=[Path to the jEdit distribution] start "jEdit" /b %JAVA_PATH%\javaw.exe -Xmx192M -jar %JEDIT_HOME%\jedit.jar -reuseview %* 5) Add the following keys to the registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with jEdit] "Icon"="[Path to the jEdit distribution]unins000.exe" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with jEdit\Command] @=":\\ProgramData\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\javaw.exe -Xmx192M -jar [Path to the jEdit distribution]\\jedit.jar -reuseview \"%L\"" 6) Modify the target of the shortcuts to Emacs the following string: :\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe -Xmx192M -jar [Path to the jEdit distribution]\jedit.jar -reuseview Also change the icon of the shortcuts to the one contained in the jEdit.exe launcher executable. 7) Rename the offending java.exe to java .xex

Ran into this myself trying to run the adoptOpenJDK 8 distro.
Will try your hack and see if it helps.
